I love when ZSJ has the arm grapevined and he reaches for the opponents leg and they get the ropes. The look of disappointment and despair is sold so well by Zach

He did it with Takeshita in their second match of the G-1. He also did it against David Finlay. There was a cool moment with ELP desperately flopping to get the rope and being really happy and Zach being disappointed. But the best was against Nigel at Forbidden Door he looks so annoyed that Nigel escaped before he could start twisting him up. I like that Zach usually wants to trade strikes after this spot as if hes saying “welp maybe i can soften him up” In ring stuff like is SO much cooler than a 25minute in ring promo explaining it.
