Zack Sabre Jr. Question

[Clawley Race]

I would guess maybe it adds legitimacy to his name. It makes it sound like less of a stage name. It would be a lot easier to just mock old Zack Lightsaber if there was no Jr. at the end.

What's stopping some older indie guy from marketing himself as Zack Sabre Sr and capitializing on ZSJ's popularity

This would be the most carny thing in the modern era, and it makes me sad this hasn't happened already.

Calling yourself "Jr" seems to be a trend among wrestlers these days. There's also Earl Black Jr and Sammy Six Guns Jr, too.. So I guess it's just to sound cool? It really isn't all that cool though.

Earl Black was a wrestler in his own right. Here's a picture:



He worked all over the damn place - Australia, Singapore, Calgary, just to name a few - in the 60s. The ring name "Earl Black Jr" is a tribute to his dad. Otherwise, I agree with your sentiment.

(Slightly off topic: I highly suggest reading up on Earl Black. He is an extremely fascinating person.)

"Zack Sabre" by itself is a bit of an ostentatious name. The Junior actually serves to make it sound a bit less zany, imo.

Yeah, Zack Sabre on its own sounds like the name of a guy in ROH in 2004 that never really does anything.

This. He sounds less like an 80's b-movie good guy.

Plus with junior at the end it rolls off the tongue better, and sounds good with the ER sound from Sabre, and the complimentary sound at the end of Junior.

He's second generation, brother. Give this man a contract.

Hope someday he renames himself "Zack Saber Rider" and has a stable called "The Star Sheriffs".
