Zack Sabre Jr. has travelled the length and breadth of the world honing and perfecting his craft, with extensive wrestling done on his part in Europe, North America and Asia. Along the way he has run into a vast number of wrestlers who now earn their money in WWE, including Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor, AJ Styles, Sami Zayn and more.

It was his battle with recently-retired Daniel Bryan way back in 2008 that put Sabre on the map for the very first time however. He was just 21 at the time, and the then-Bryan Danielson proceeded to give Sabre a true lesson in technical wrestling, but the younger fighter managed to stay in the fight and the two put on a Match of the Year candidate.

In more beautiful wrestling symmetry, Sabre would go on to win the Wrestling Observer Bryan Danielson award for 2014 and 2015, given to the Best Technical Wrestler on the planet (Danielson won it for the previous nine years on the trot).

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.
