In other words, this guy already knew John. How did he already know him? Perhaps in a previous life?

Interesting theories, but might be reaching a bit far. They've established several times that the others have tons of info on everyone. The John Locke he "knew" could easily refer to him having seen whatever files they have.

The fence may have left him not quite dead, left to be healed by the island.

The end of the Paulo/Nikki episode established that Sawyer did know them, he was just being an obtuse ass.

True, he could have "known" Locke thru the files alone I suppose....but the way he put it seemed to me that he knew Locke personally.

You are right about the fence....when Kate crossed over she even hesitated, almost like she thought the Russian may still be breathing. That, and when he appeared in this last episode, it has been pointed out to me that his ears were still reddish. So, I guess it is very possible that he faked his death at the barrier. Question still remains though....why fake death? why at the barrier? and, how did he know Locke was going to push him into the field?

As for Sawyer......I think his not knowing who they were was genuine at first and stubborn after he was told. Yes, in the end he called them by their names out of respect but I didn't see anything that convinced me that he knew for sure what their names were all along.....it was left up to viewer interpretation I believe(so many things are on LOST as this gives the writers more avenues).
