Zack Sabre Jr believes he can choose how to finish a match more than any other wrestler.
At AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty earlier this month, IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. defended his championship successfully against AEW's Ricochet just one night removed from successfully defending his title against Shota Umino at Wrestle Kingdom.
While speaking to NJPW in a new interview about his match with Ricochet, Zack was asked if he believed Ricochet was a different wrestler to the one he knew.
"We wrestled and travelled around the world together. In both our cases we've had a lot of changes, because the last we wrestled, I hadn't gone to NJPW, he hadn't gone to WWE or AEW. So both of us have changed. Ricochet has always been very flexible as a wrestler, but he's a strong wrestler that still has grace as a flier. He definitely belongs as a heavyweight."
Zack was then asked if he wanted a different finish to his win over Shota Umino the night before, with Zack proclaiming he has more choices on how to end a match then any other wrestler.
"I'm not one to approach a match by thinking of the finish and working backward like that, but nobody has more choices of finishing their opponents in wrestling than I do. So there's a little practicality there when it comes to keeping my opponents guessing but also keeping myself interested and to keep people interested in me. There isn't much interest in keeping to the same techniques."
Zack previously joked that he was glad Ricochet didn't stab him with scissors. You can read more about that here.
