Kazuchika Okada vs. Zack Sabre Jr. - Sakura Genesis 2018, IWGP Title match

Legit the only difference between Will and ZSJ is that ZSJ uses submissions pointlessly as highspots instead of flips and people crown him as a great wrestler because of it

Match was what I expected. A MiSu/Tana-esque cosplay minus the substance or a truly compelling menace that the crowd would buy into as ZSJ was on a monster run of W's that made him winning seem entirely plausible.

ZSJ needs to gain 20 pounds of bulk, even dirty bulk.

 

[Jmare007]

Sabre would look even more ridiculous if he gained weight and kept wrestling the same as he is now

 

[The Rainmaker]

They should look for a bulkier version of him, call him Zack Sabre Sr. and make a tag team

 

[Lord Scion]

Did Tana just Cena his way into a title match?

 

[stro]

Bro Cena isn't even booked for Wrestlemania 6 days out!

 

[Jmare007]

Did Tana just Cena his way into a title match?

Yes he did :tanacena:

 

[MightyHealthy]

Why would it be his last?

Unless they do a "last hurrah" veteran angle, I'm not sure why he's sniffing anything more than the IC four the next few years.

The angle almost is coming to Tana beating Okada tho

 

[MenacingMonk]

Makes sense Tana challenges. Okada just tied Tana for successful title defenses, right?

Would make more sense if Tana had any sort of momentum as a challenger. You know, having him rack up some W wanting to stop Okada from surpassing his record, instead of him just showing up :tanacena: style and demanding a title defense because he's the only one left without a challenge and the defense record works as an excuse

He is the Ace tho.

 

[Jmare007]

He is the Ace tho.
