Lucas Eatwell (born 24 July 1987) is an English professional wrestler better known by his ring name Zack Sabre Jr. He is currently signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Outside of 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. His offense includes various technical wrestling holds and pinning combinations, along with hard hitting strikes, which stems from his love of puroresu. The readers of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter voted Sabre the Best Technical Wrestler for six consecutive years from 2014 to 2019.
Sabre is also a regular participant in tag team competition, notably teaming up in 2008 with Marty Scurll where they were two-time RPW Undisputed British Tag Team Champions. Sabre also held the aforementioned belts alongside Suzuki-gun stablemate Minoru Suzuki, and was a two-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion with Yoshinari Ogawa, and a one-time wXw World Tag Team Champion with Big Daddy Walter. Sabre has also formed a tag team with other Suzuki-Gun stablemate Taichi, calling themselves “Dangerous Tekkers”.
