A WRESTLER sent a strongly worded message to Rishi Sunak about nurses strikes prior to a major title match.
Zack Sabre Jr, 35, is currently signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling and, before entering the Tokyo Dome on Wednesday, the wrestler called out the PM by screaming into the camera.
Sabre, whose real name is Lucas Eatwell, could be heard yelling: “Rishi Sunak pay nurses d***head*, pay nurses a living wage!”
Many took to social media to praise Sabre for his comments with one user saying: “I don’t know anything about wrestling, but I know that this guy is my favourite wrestler. Love it!”
Another asked “who is this legend?” while others described the comment as “incredible” and “amazing”.

The Royal College of Nursing last month accused government ministers of refusing to engage in talks about pay last month, saying that its members had no option left but to strike.
More industrial action is scheduled to take place at the end of January should an agreement fail to be reached.
Elsewhere, The Times reports that the PM is planning to introduce legislation which could see unions sued and workers sacked.
It’s a move which shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves described as being “for the birds”.
