Technical Wrestling Showdown Set For ROH Final Battle; Updated Card

Ring of Honor has added a new match up to their December 14th Final Battle pay-per-view. A potential technical wrestling clinic that will see Jonathan Gresham take on Zack Sabre Jr. The following preview for the match is from ROHWrestling.com:

JONATHAN GRESHAM vs. ZACK SABRE JR.

In a segment that will air on this weekend’s episode of “Ring of Honor Wrestling,” Gresham said he wanted to prove that he is the best technical wrestler in the world, so he was issuing an open challenge for Final Battle to the top technical wrestlers around the globe.

Almost immediately, Sabre Jr. appeared on the video screen. The New Japan Pro-Wrestling standout said he was the best technical wrestler in the world and he’s coming to ROH next month. He said he couldn’t think of a better first opponent than Gresham, so he’ll see “The Octopus” at Final Battle. Gresham vowed to tap him out.

Gresham, a 13-year veteran who has wrestled in 14 countries and on four continents, would love to cap what has been a breakthrough year for him with a victory over the much-heralded Sabre Jr. Gresham took Jay Lethal to the limit on three occasions in 2018, including in a 30-minute Iron Match over the summer for Lethal’s ROH World Title in which Gresham scored a pinfall over the champion and came within an eyelash of winning the championship.

When Sabre Jr. faces Gresham at Final Battle, it will be the first time the hard-hitting London native has ever stepped into an ROH ring. He comes to ROH with a very impressive resume.

Sabre Jr., a member of the Suzuki-gun faction in NJPW, won the New Japan World Cup earlier this year by defeating Tetsuya Naito, Kota Ibushi, Sanada and Hiroshi Tanahashi in succession. Sabre Jr. also won the prestigious Battle of Los Angeles tournament in 2015 and has won championships all over the world.

Will Gresham spoil Sabre Jr.’s much-anticipated ROH debut and back up his claim of being the best technical wrestler in the world, or will Sabre Jr. add Gresham’s name to the list of outstanding wrestlers he has defeated?
