Zack Sabre, Jr., English wrestler
Lucas Eatwell (born 24 July 1987) is an English professional wrestler better known by his ring name Zack Sabre Jr. (Katakana: ザック・セイバーJr, Zakku Seibā Jr.). He is currently signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Outside NJPW, Sabre performs for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), Ring of Honor (ROH), Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW), and Progress Wrestling (Progress).
Sabre is a former NWA United Kingdom Junior Heavyweight Championship winner and a product of the NWA-UK Hammerlock training school. He started training with NWA-UK Hammerlock at the age of 14, under the guidance of Jon Ryan and Andre Baker. Sabre's offensive moveset includes a wide array of intricately complex technical wrestling holds and pinning combinations, harsh strikes (stemming from his love of puroresu), explosive athleticism and dazzling acrobatics. The readers of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter voted Sabre the Best Technical Wrestler of the year for seven consecutive years (2014–2020) and was voted Best Technical Wrestler of the Decade (2010s).
Though primarily known for his solo performances, Sabre is also a tag team wrestler. In his early career, he made a name for himself as part of the "Leaders Of The New School" with Marty Scurll, holding the IPW:UK Tag Team Championships twice. He would later win the same title (now called RPW Undisputed British Tag Team Champions) alongside Suzuki-gun stablemate Minoru Suzuki. In Pro Wrestling Noah, he was a two-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion with Yoshinari Ogawa and, in World Xtreme Wrestling, a wXw World Tag Team Champion with Big Daddy Walter. Sabre has also formed a tag team with other Suzuki-Gun stablemate Taichi (the "Dangerous Tekkers"), who are three time IWGP Tag Team Champions.
In NJPW, Sabre has won the New Japan Cup twice in 2018 and 2022. In PWG, he is a former PWG World Champion, and the winner of its 2015 Battle of Los Angeles.
