Sanada’s G1 match with Finlay has given me a lot of thoughts
He’s hitting most of his old moves: Skull End, Springboard Dropkick, Shining Wizard, Paradise Lock one after the other like he’s got something to prove (the last causing him to lose momentum and lose the match)
He’s also posted on his story about how his Disco Ball outfit was a callback to his ‘Gift’.
Walker on commentary did state how he seems to be going through a bit of an identity crisis; and with how he’s acting in ring? it does seem to be that way
It feels like he’s reminiscing about his old eras? (him reposting old posts on his story going 2年前… 6年前… is not helping matters) and that he’s trying to grasp them. He’s still cheating like the House, but the way he moves in ring feels more like ‘old Sanada’ than anything
idk, maybe this is only because he’s finally fighting in a singles and wants to showcase his moves lol. But with Sanada you never know
