Zack Sabre Jr. appreciates the support.
Bryan Danielson recently said that he would love to see Zack Sabre Jr. win the NJPW G1 Climax 34, and Sabre Jr. ultimately emerged victorious.
Following his win, Zack Sabre Jr. spoke with the media. NJPW's website shared his comments, and in one highlight, he acknowledged Bryan Danielson's praise.
"I’m really grateful for him saying he believed in me. He’s someone that’s inspired me from the beginning of my career, and when you have a rival and contemporary like that who believes in you, that gave me the boost I needed, as well as (Yoshinari) Ogawa san announcing his retirement. My whole career has been about me aspiring to personal goals, but this is bigger than me," Sabre Jr. said.
Likewise, Sabre Jr. was asked about various stars from the wrestling world, including Finn Balor and Will Ospreay, congratulating him on social media. He noted that he felt the global weight of winning the tournament when he saw the outreach of so many people.
"Obviously I knew how important the G1 was before, but winning it, you feel the gravity of it globally. The outreach of so many people I’ve met my career, exciting and showing support has been really inspiring, and it makes me feel I really am unstoppable right now. I have so many friends all over the world in pro-wrestling and it made me happy to realise that the separation of companies is irrelevant to wrestlers because we are all the same and we can all be happy for each other’s success," Sabre Jr. said.
Sabre Jr. recently said that he and Bryan Danielson were not done, even with Danielson winding down his schedule. Check out his comments here.
