Alex Zayne gets his own Taco Bell JP menu item

1. That’s awesome. They must really love Zayne over there.

2. Holy crap. Living the saucy dream.

3. Next gajin ace confirmed.

4. Really cool to see. I’m hoping we get Zayne in New Japan more regularly in 2024; it seems obvious that he’s quite popular with the Japanese audience. His spot in WTL has me hopeful that at the very least, he gets a spot in the next G1.

5. If anyone’s going to Japan I believe there’s a Taco Bell in Aqua City in Odaiba. I think that one even has a liquor license, I remember it advertising beer.

6. I hope New Japan locks this guy up before wwe tries to poach this guy again

7. The fact that the only other wrestler in Japan with a fast food thing is Okada and Mos Burger, that’s a pretty exclusive club to be in.

   I know the company wasn’t making the sort of money to sign people back when he was in BOSJ last year, but I hope they can consider signing him now. There’s lots of foreign wrestlers that come to Japan and get the respect of the crowd, but Alex was on another level with that, they took to him so quickly. They’d be crazy to not offer something.

8. Whitefish, sable, cream cheese, capers & onions I presume

9. Can we get monster sauce to go with though

10. It’s not a new item, it’s just two combos of existing items that are recommended by Zayne. This is still a really cool thing to see happen, and it got a real deal [press release](https://tacobell.jp/newz/%e3%82%a2%e3%83%ac%e3%83%83%e3%82%af%e3%82%b9%e3%83%bb%e3%82%bc%e3%82%a4%e3%83%b3%e9%81%b8%e6%89%8bx%e3%82%bf%e3%82%b3%e3%83%99%e3%83%ab%e3%82%b3%e3%83%a9%e3%83%9c%e9%96%8b%e5%82%ac/) on Taco Bell Japan’s official website, but it’s not a major deal like an actual new menu item that would be advertised everywhere.

    Also Taco Bell isn’t really a big thing in Japan like it is here. They only have 7 locations in the whole country, and Zayne himself has five times more followers (53k) than their Xwitter (9k) does. For comparison, MOS Burger, which has run an Okada special burger multiple times in the past couple years, has 1700+ stores and 1 million Xwitter followers.
