Sabre is unusual in modern professional wrestling, as he has admitted on a number of occasions that wrestling full-time in the United States of America has never been the goal for him. Sabre has worked for a number of US promotions (and will of course be competing in the WWE Global Cruiserweight Series this summer), but never full time.

It was Japan that called loudest to the young Sabre, and he has gone on record as saying his dream was always to be able to wrestle full-time in the Land of the Rising Sun. His first full tour with Pro Wrestling Noah was in 2011, and he would stay with that company until leaving in November 2015.

His departure has coincided with his star well and truly taking off, and less than six months after leaving Noah he defeated Roderick Strong to win the PWG World Championship.

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.
