In a recent interview with NJPW, Zack Sabre Jr. discussed his matches against Bryan Danielson, noting that he’d love to take their feud around the world.
Danielson has challenged Sabre Jr. to a two-of-three falls match outside of AEW and NJPW to conclude their trilogy.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his matches with Danielson: “Obviously wrestling Bryan the first time changed my whole career, and I’d come to terms that we’d never wrestle again. To have those matches back to back essentially meant so much to me because he’s the only one in the world I can wrestle that kind of a match with. It’s bittersweet because if (Osaka) was the last time we wrestled, it could potentially be the end of that style. I hope one day somebody will be as passionate about that style as me, but for now…Every big match that I’ve lost in my career, I’ve been so tunnel visioned in terms of going for a submission or wrestling and winning a certain way. I’m too stubborn to just take a win when it’s there.
“Even with Bryan in Osaka, pinning him with a crucifix hold that’s been a part of wrestling for at least hundreds of years is much more technical than knocking someone out. So even though we never tapped one another out in the end, it came from the horse’s mouth, so the Wrestling Observer has to name that technical wrestler award after me now.”
On a possible two-out-of-three falls match with Danielson: “Maybe international waters (laughs). But I’d love to do it around the world. Somewhere that’s not a NJPW or AEW ring. A match like this can go to every continent. I’m not sure how big wrestling is in Antarctica, but still.”
Paul Wight, also known as The Big Show, is set to make his return to the wrestling ring soon. The former WWE Grand Slam Champion recently took to his Instagram account to announce his impending in-ring return with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). This news has sparked excitement among wrestling fans who have been eagerly awaiting his comeback.
Wight’s last competitive appearance was on the Chris Jericho Cruise in January, and his last televised match for AEW was in November of the previous year. Since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating his return to the squared circle. With his announcement on Instagram, it seems that the wait is finally over.
The Big Show has had an illustrious career in professional wrestling, having competed in various promotions throughout his tenure. He is a multi-time world champion and has achieved great success both as a singles competitor and as part of tag teams. His larger-than-life persona and incredible athleticism have made him a fan favorite over the years.
In addition to Wight’s return, another exciting development in the wrestling world involves Zack Sabre Jr. In a recent interview with NJPW, Sabre Jr. discussed his matches against Bryan Danielson (formerly known as Daniel Bryan) and expressed his desire to take their feud around the world.
Sabre Jr. acknowledged that wrestling Danielson for the first time had a profound impact on his career. He had come to terms with the fact that they might never have another match together. However, having the opportunity to face Danielson back-to-back meant a lot to him. He considers Danielson to be the only wrestler in the world with whom he can have that kind of technical and intense match.
The possibility of a two-out-of-three falls match between Sabre Jr. and Danielson outside of AEW and NJPW was also discussed. Sabre Jr. expressed his interest in taking their feud to different locations worldwide, away from the confines of their usual wrestling rings. He humorously mentioned the idea of having the match in international waters, allowing it to take place on every continent except perhaps Antarctica.
This potential match between Sabre Jr. and Danielson has generated excitement among fans who appreciate technical wrestling and the chemistry between these two talented athletes. It would be a unique opportunity to witness their skills showcased in different environments and on a global scale.
As wrestling fans eagerly await the return of Paul Wight to the ring and the possibility of a thrilling two-out-of-three falls match between Zack Sabre Jr. and Bryan Danielson, the anticipation continues to build. These developments serve as a reminder of the excitement and passion that professional wrestling brings to its devoted fanbase.
