Zack Sabre Jr. says he'd look ridiculous with a bald head.
Zack Sabre Jr.'s career reached new heights in 2024, as he won the NJPW G1 Climax. He went on to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Sabre Jr. is set to defend the title against Shota Umino at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 19.
In an interview that NJPW shared on their YouTube channel, Zack Sabre Jr. discussed his current run and quipped that he hoped that his bleached blonde hair would be the only thing that he would regret. He also joked that he might have to shave his head if he lost the title.
"Hopefully, the only thing I regret about this period when I look back in the future and be like, why did I have bleached blonde hair for so long? [Laughs] I’ve done this for almost two years now, and sometimes I wake up and look in the mirror and be like, ‘What am I doing?’ But then I also look back at my brown hair, I think, ‘What a boring bastard.’ Maybe in two or three years time, I’ll have even more exciting hair. Maybe I have a mid-career crisis and just shave my head off when I lose the championship. I think my head’s too small. I think I’d look ridiculous with a bald head. There’s my motivation for after the two Tokyo Domes. I have to keep the belt so that I don’t have to shave my head in shame when I lose the championship," Sabre Jr. said.
