Best Wrestler Alive Tourney 1st Round --- Dean Malenko vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

[Bryan Danielson]

ZSJ made me a fan after that match with Juice last year where he folded up dude and legit put him in a pretzel.

Like you always hear wrestlers talking about how they will “stretch” cats. But until then, I’ve never seen no shyt like that.

I don’t even think any other wrestler could organically recreate and do that submission

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Found the match...

If you ain’t voted yet, watch this match or at the least forward to the end and watch what he does to Juice




WTF??

 

[Mr. Negative]

Cocaine Octopus' place in wrestling fandom is weird, right.

FOr as almost as long as any of us have been watching wrestling, we've all seen tons and tonnns and tonnnnnnnnnnnnnns () of complaints that it's not believable when folks his size win matches and beat folks 2-3x their size.

ZSJ wrestles a style where it's wholly believable..... and he gets hate for it

 

[Psychosis]

Damn I would watch Malenko vs ZSJ

 

[krackdagawd]

Malenko's winning, but ZSJ's promo/ shyt talk game is fire. His constant shytting on the UK Conservative Party and naming his moves after super obscure British comedy bits >>>>>>

Also ZSJ in a series of matches where he and his opponent evolve their counters with each match is just

After thinking about it you could put zsj/ibushi zsj/okada zsj/ospreay up there w Malenko best joints.

not just cause you don't watch but you also hop in here and vote against all the puro dudes

The joints with Ishii, where he's just basically staying out of reach until he gets caught and slumped

 

[Francis White]

Malenko was the plug in the WCW locker room
