NJPW star Zack Sabre Jr. recently spoke with the company on a number of topics including his NJPW G1 Climax Day 7 loss to Shota Umino.
Sabre Jr. said, “I’m topping the block, but a little bit of adversity never hurt, did it?.” “I’m the best technical wrestler in the world, so I don’t need shortcuts. But [it] backfired. I’ll live and learn. I can still get 8-1, 8-1’s a pretty good record. You better get through the block stage now, Shota. Otherwise, that’ll be very embarrassing.”
“Losing sucks. Any self-help motivational speech about losing being good for you is a bunch of bollocks. Losing bloody sucks. But I’ve been here for. This is just gonna remind me, the G1’s the hardest tournament in all of pro wrestling. The G1’s the hardest tournament in all of pro wrestling for a reason.”
