9 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Zack Sabre Jr.

9. He Started Training Aged 14

Born in 1987 in the Isle of Sheppey, Zack Sabre Jr. was a huge wrestling fan from a very young age. He has said on a number of occasions that professional wrestlers are more often than not just the biggest fans of the art form, and from early on he would collect tapes and watch as much wrestling as possible.

All of this led to him beginning his training at the tender age of 14. His journey began at the NWA-UK Hammerlock Training School, the school responsible for producing some of the biggest and most respected names in UK wrestling such as Doug Williams, Fergal Devitt (Finn Balor), Rebecca Knox (Becky Lynch), Katie Lea (Katie Lea Burchill in WWE, Winter in TNA) and many more.

The school ceased to exist as of 2014, but its legacy in British professional wrestling is assured.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
