And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Quick ZSJ hits from Youtube, the non-NJPW stuff.

The technical showcases:

vs A-Kid (Whitewolf Wrestling): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PBWKJLGkjo

vs Mike Quackenbush (Chikara): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCm-TNCN5xE

The technical showcases, where the opponent is determined to kill ZSJ.

vs Walter (Evolve): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwcGco1mZ04

vs Chris Hero (Evolve): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnHrwzT_2us

(Sabre has had some absolute gems against Walter and Hero in PWG and Progress, but I don't think those matches are up on YT, so you'll get the Evolve matches and like it.)

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Zack Sabre Jr vs. Kazuchika Okada (Sakura Genesis 2018) - Fresh off winning the New Japan Cup Zack takes on God himself during his record breaking title reign

Zack Sabre Jr vs. SANADA (G1 Climax 28) - One of Zack's G1 tournament matches from last year with his best opponent. Him and SANADA have infinite chemistry and the grapplefucking is off the charts

Zack Sabre Jr vs. Kota Ibushi (NJPW Sengoku Lord 2019) - After pinning Ibushi during this year's New Japan Cup Zack challenges for the IWGP Intercontinental title in a very conflicting clash of styles that really works

ZSJ spending the entire build mocking Okada for not being as good as submissions as him only for God to pull out some old school Lucha Submissions ZSJ wasn't familiar with :vince:

List of people I'd pick over PAC is pretty small at this point but #TOMO is number 1
Proud & Powerful is a bad name but a very good team
Kota Ibushi wins because Tana is just on the descent to Tenzan level and god it will be too sad to watch
Orange Cassidy is really good but the gimmick just doesn't excite me very much. Meanwhile Bryan is limited by the company he's in but he's still my all time fave.
Shingo Takagi was great in DG, great in New Japan. This year he had standouts in both Best of the Super Juniors & in the G1, 2018 he doesn't have too much from Dragon Gate worth singing about as 2018 was not their best year as a promotion but he was loving dope in the All Japan Champion Carnival with matches against Yuji Hino, Shuji Ishikawa & Kento Miyahara. And the 6 man tag on the finals show where he teamed with The Bodyguard & Zeus against Doering, Akiyama & Hino is fire too. Suzuki just doesn't have the same number of high quality singles matches. I absolutely adored his match with Goto at WK last year, then the Tana IC match, and then a couple great Ishii matches near the end of the year. And the Matt Riddle Bloodsport match. But 2019, there's a SANADA match in the NJ Cup, Barnett at Bloodsport, Okada in Lions Quest & Liger. He's being phased down a bit and it's probably not his fault but on the last 2 years it's gotta be Shingo.
Liger is an all-time fave, ZSJ is a current fave. But he's also Zack Labour Jr. I can't vote against Zack Labour Jr during the British general election campaign.

ZSJ might be the hero of English socialism and a terrific promo, but he's also incredibly loving boring in the ring compared to Liger, so he should lose to him any day of the week
