Clark Connors shared his goal of being the NJPW Junior Division’s version of Brock Lesnar while speaking with Ringsiders Wrestling for a new interview. Here are the highlights:
The market for NJPW in the UK:
“I think so. I think New Japan, for some reason there’s that connection between British wrestling and Japanese wrestling. I think there’s just a certain — which is funny because the fans couldn’t be farther from each other in terms of just how they like to cheer. But yeah, I think it’s still a ‘good wrestling is good wrestling’ [thing], I think there’s an appreciation for that. I think that we’re going to see a lot more uh New Japan all over the world, but hopefully — and I I know for sure we’re going to be in London a lot in the near future.”
His goals in the Juniors division:
“I think a lot of the wrestlers I model myself after, like I always say my goal is to be the Brock Lesnar of the junior division, you know? Throw people around, get stuff done. Goldberg, Lashley — like all these guys who are hard hitters, they wrestle these short matches, but they don’t need to [go long]. You just beat someone’s ass, you gotta get it done as quickly as possible.”
