comment
Elective Broken Language / Elective Unintelligible: Mostly whenever he's in Japan. Watching his interactions with the rest of Suzuki-gun reveals he has at least a passing knowledge of Japanese. Not enough to make TAKA Michinoku a Completely Unnecessary Translator, but enough that he can respond to certain lines in Japanese promos. Of course, not only does he not care to, but he plays up his foreign persona by continuing to make niche references to British politics even when outside of Britain.

comment
Arch-Enemy: Without a doubt for most of 2019, it was Los Ingobernables de Japon member SANADA, who began to shock win against him nearly every way possible; Submission and pins alike and matching his technical prowess hold for hold. He did not take it well, and essentially got SANADA onto the card at Wrestle Kingdom 14 by demanding he get the chance to beat him for good.

comment
Boring, but Practical: His technician style features few, if any flashy maneuvers whatsoever, but his offense largely exists as being locked in a submission hold for extended periods of time, and by goodness is it effective.

Aerith and Bob: Zack's signature techniques' names range from A ("Article 50") to Z ("Zack Driver"), and from "Orienteering With Napalm Death" to "Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than the Last; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness". The moves' names also often double as a Shout-Out to something different, with the examples listed being respective references to: Brexit, his manager TAKA Michinoku, stand-up comedian Stewart Lee, and a 2004 album by Youthmovies.

Torture Technician: His ring style of pretty much just putting people in heinous looking submission holds for 20 minutes until one breaks them looks like this already, but in New Japan it's explicit when as a member of Suzuki-gun he's implied to be enjoying hurting people.
