he's the worst good wrestler or best bad wrestler, however look at it. he clearly has a great knowledge and talent for matwork but he's so dogshit at focusing on one part of the body or doing dumb shit like catching someone from a springboard into some gay inverted omoplata before immediately abandoning to do something else

This is professional wrestling. Wrestlers survive random armbars or ankle locks for 5 fucking minutes before finally tapping out, if they don't make it to the rope first.

Zack switches up positions and moves to try to apply more pressure to actually get the fags to tap. And in kayfabe, it works, since he's the only person in the industry that taps people out with anything other than one specific finisher that can only be used against jobbers.

His style of wrestling is tailor made to detect shitters. Fucker literally buries every single of his opponent by letting them go out of his locked submission multiple times in a match. So it doesn't matter if he wins or loses at the end, he won it like 5 times already, but just let go for no reason at all. If you like this shit you shoot have less than 80 IQ.

It’s because most intensity and aggression is replaced with his sheer style and skill.
When 90% of your offense is stretching your opponent, you don’t possess the same intimidation factor than if you were tossing or slamming people around. He’s a skilled arrogant prick.

Quoted By: >>11536954

If Zack ever decided to better his physical appearance just a bit, he would have been one of the most dimes wrestlers we have ever seen, as a wrestler he is insanely good, he clearly knows exactly what he is doing in the ring, but for some reason, he doesn't seem to get a clue on the flow of his own moves for some reason. You can see him applying an armbar, break for no reason, then follow it with an ankle lock a minute later, instead of focusing on the already "injured" arm.
He is the last beacon of a dying breed of wrestling, he could have easily become a flippy shitter, but he chose the very technical mat wrestling, which he does extremely well.

>>11536897
Zack’s style is one where he wants to submit you from any position and constantly switches up to weaken various parts of the body. Rather than exert all energy to one body part, he attacks one and uses remaining energy to attack another body part or multiple body parts.
The result is that his opponents are so broken down over time that they eventually tap to just about anything he’ll throw out.

His movement remains fluid and his lean and flexible body type complements his in-ring style. Fucker is like a snake.

UFC has exposed submissions in wrestling so hard. There's no way anyone should be able to take shit like Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels where HBK stays in an ankle lock for like 5 minutes straight, seriously anymore.

Once that shit is synched in, its over in seconds.

People that watch MMA aren't many and a decent chunk of them understand that pro wrestling is something different for good reasons, doesn't mean submissions have to be phased out because they are "not credible", like holy shit have you ever seen modern wrestling? Pro wrestling in its history has never been this fake and they barely do any submissions or ground work at all, its all about no selling and stupid flips.

It looks bad. He needs to isolate more. Ude Hishigi Waki Gatame -> Ude Gatame -> Gyaku Ude Gatame has a flow and progression between 3 positions all attacking the same arm but in different manners and that is staying within one family. You do things like that because it keeps the focus on the joint but allows movement to adjust. You can also augment by going after different grapple techniques. Maybe one is a Ude Hishigi Sankaku Gatame for example. No longer a keylock but still applying pressure to the same general area.
