Zack Sabre Jr has added a new finishing move to his NJPW arsenal, which fits in nicely alongside other moves he has popularised, such as “Tesco Meal Deal” and “Barry From Eastenders.”
In today’s D-Block Finals of the 33rd NJPW G1 Climax, Zack Sabre Jr faced off against Hirooki Goto. The two NJPW mainstays faced off in a thrilling fourteen-minute bout, which ended in Sabre applying a Cobra Twist submission, forcing Goto to give up.
But in true Zack Sabre Jr fashion, he hasn’t stuck to the true name of the move. Instead, he has named it: “When Did They Put All Of The Argos Inside Sainsbury’s?”

The move name refers to the well-known UK store Argos, which was bought by supermarket Sainsbury’s in 2016 for £1.4billion. Post-sale, all Argos stores now take up space within many Sainsbury supermarkets.
Zack Sabre Jr, known for utilising several finishing holds, has consistently kept the train rolling by christening them with bizarre names. More excellent examples of his finishing manoeuvres include;
- Sunday Rail Engineering Works Replacement Bus Service (A Single-Leg Boston Crab)
- Article 50 (A Crucifix Armbar)
- Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than the Last; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness (A Double Wrist-Clutch Octopus Hold)
