Zack Sabre Jr. already flirted with WWE when he took part in the Cruiserweight Classic, now it’s time to make this a full-on relationship.

Many people seem to think he’s currently the best technical wrestler on the planet. There's good reason to believe it's true; he won the Wrestling Observer’s award for that very category in 2014, 2015 and 2016. It’s this distinctive skill that makes him stand out from every other wrestler and would make him a fascinating act to watch in WWE. Let's hope Vince would know what to do with him.

Sabre isn’t known for crazy highspots in his matches. He’s not known for loud, boisterous promos either. He’s more of a Dean Malenko type. A man that can chop you down to size in 1,000 different ways. Once the bell rings, Sabre is all business and can dance circles around his opponents by busting out impressive submissions that they didn’t come prepared for. He's a ready-made act who could make an instant splash in WWE as a babyface.

The British star seems like another one of those “only a matter of time” wrestlers who will eventually sign with WWE. They might as well get that part over with and bring him in now. He could either be an immediate top Cruiserweight talent or be a featured act on Raw or SmackDown who is able to submit those much larger opponents in short order.

It would be a shame to wait much longer for Sabre's debut, as with the right push he could be a fan favorite in no time.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
