WWE Cruiserweight Classic competitor Zack Sabre, Jr recently spoke with Rob Leigh of TalkSport, and below are some interview highlights:
On competing in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic:
“To be included in the tournament, [WWE] were obviously fans of the way I wrestled. But to their full credit, it is a huge… ‘gamble’ is the wrong word… it is an open-minded, expressive way for a company that only utilizes contracted talents to bring in lots of independent, freelance guys.
“I can hand on heart say they couldn’t have been more encouraging to everyone to wrestle and portray themselves in the light they want to. There’s been real free reign with that. I feel I’ve been able to wrestle exactly the way I enjoy doing so.”

On his experience with WWE:
“I only have positive things to say about the experience and I’m really enjoying working at WWE’s production levels. The way I wrestle is very much for a live crowd, the experience of being part of such high levels of production and the staff at the Performance Center, I really feel like it is accentuating what I’m doing. Hopefully people will see more of who I am as a wrestler.”
On the WWE CWC finals:
“I believe that [Kota] Ibushi is on the other side. And as much as that’s the most heralded pick, it would be fate to some degree because we’ve been scheduled to wrestle each other so many times over the years in Germany and England but it has just never happened. Part of me likes that a match that should have happened on the British indies could happen for the first time in a WWE ring.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
