Zack Sabre Jr. Opens Up About Tokyo Dome Main Event With Ricochet

IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. spoke with Pep Talks on a number of topics, including his match against AEW star Ricochet at Wrestle Dynasty.

Sabre Jr. said, โ€œYeah, well, Bryce Remsburg is here. I wish Bryce was the referee just because then it would have really felt like a Chikara or PWG match, having him there. Yeah, I mean, itโ€™s very, itโ€™s a special to beโ€ฆ the first time myself and Ricochet wrestled was in a leisure center in England. In front of 100 people or something. Then subsequently wrestled in Germany, in other parts of England. The first time I ever went to Australia, I even saw him twice. We wrestled on both coasts of the U.S., Evolve and PWG. Then we crossed over in New Japan for a little bit.I joined New Japan in 2017, he was here for a little bit, but then, he moved on to WWE. I think itโ€™s quite rare to be able to have a moment like that with someone that youโ€™ve got, you know, a lot of wrestling history with. I think heโ€™s better than ever. I think weโ€™re a similar age, but I mean, he doesnโ€™t look like heโ€™s slowed down at all. Well, I felt that, because I couldnโ€™t even get in the fucking ring or take my jacket off. Yeah, I think to be two foreigners to main event the Tokyo Dome is obviously, historic. So itโ€™s nice to be able to share that moment with someone that youโ€™ve traveled the world with. He didnโ€™t stab me with scissors so that that was a relief.โ€
