At Forbidden Door, fans who aren’t regular viewers of NJPW got introduced to a variety of talent. Even fans who don’t watch NJPW are familiar with names like Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Jay White.
One wrestler who made a name for themselves for their performance was the “Wild Rhino” Clark Connors. Connors was a replacement for Tomohiro ISHII in the four-way match for the All-Atlantic Championship. Connors didn’t have an easy task as he faced PAC, Malakai Black, and Miro.
Connors speared Miro through a table on the outside. He also hit his finisher, the Trophy Kill, on PAC. He firmly got fans on his side with a standout performance.
Clark Connors Reveals Wish List
Connors missed some time last year with an ongoing herniation injury. He detailed his experience in a Twitter thread last July. He returned to the ring in October against Minoru Suzuki.
On social media, Connors revealed his 2023 opponent wish list. The list is a who’s who across the wrestling universe, starting with one-half of the NJPW Strong and IMPACT tag team champions, Alex Shelley.
The rest of his list, read “Wild Style”:
-Lio Rush
-Ishimori, El Desperado, or Hiromu
-Joey Janella
-Trey Miguel
-EFFY
-“Session Moth” Martina (in a deathmatch…in Ireland)
-Chris Jericho
-ISHII or Shingo Takagi
-YOSHI-HASHI
-FTR vs. Connors and Gabriel Kidd
-Wheeler Yuta
-Orange Cassidy
All of these matches would be bangers and Connors could make a strong case for Wrestler of the Year.
