It's a worked version of a legit judo hold called the Kata-Ha-Jime.

He started in 1987 and wrestled his final match in '06. So no.

His time in ECW is when people started caring about him for sure, but he started in '87 with WWC, Carlos Colon's company. Probably through Johnny Rodz, who trained him. And he was basically done by 2003, but he'd periodically lace 'em up for house shows and special events.

Regarding the actual statement he made, Taz has been around long enough that he probably considers the whole publicly asking flippantly like that to be disrespectful, which is a bit silly. But at least he said it instead of just burying the guy on his show.

He legit has a 2nd degree black belt in judo, one of the few things not kayfabed about his background (and the move is a variation of a judo hold). I remember Meltzer mentioning it once.

He is tall and skinny, think zsj if he had more charisma but wasn't quite as good at wrestling.

Yeah they aren't correct but if you want a tall lanky British guy who does an octopus stretch, but also, say, wrestles on shows held in and around a water park (which you should) or just has cool gear Brookes is your guy.

I give those guys the benefit of the doubt that they haven't really seen ZSJ in all his opponent-stretching glory yet. I mean, if I had only previously been exposed to him during the Cruiserweight Classic, I would definitely think he is a boring grapplefucker, but with enough of his matches (and post-match promos) watched, that opinion will easily be changed.

ZSJ recently blamed his poor performances on Boris Johnson becoming Britain's prime minister and he is constantly putting on absolute clinics on how to throw the most delightful temper tantrums

ZSJ live is a magical thing as well. You don't really grasp how great he is until you see him work in person.

I'm pointing out that Brookes fucks, and ZSJ does not. gently caress or don't gently caress, its cool either way(unless you're being a turbodick about it).
