RIP Sabu

[mson]

The rivalry Sabu had with Taz was incredible. He was an innovator of violence. The competitive alliance between he and RVD is so underrated and should be talked about more. It was one of the things that instantly drew me in as fan. I had to stay up 2am on a Sunday in NYC to watch this shyt. Sabu was one of the pillars of ECW, and he must always be on its Mt Rushmore. Unfortunately he revealed his bigotry in his latter years. Such is life. The Suicidal Genocidal Maniac is gone. Let him rest.

Taz, Sabu, RVD, Sandman = ECW Rushmore

Franchise, Dudley Boyz, New Jack= Secondary

Without question the wrestler who made me go "MAN WHAT THE FUKK!? OH SHYT!! WHAT!?!?!" more than any other.

The TRUE Hardcore Champion for life.

The classic unfold a chair, put it down, jump off of it over the ropes


RIP to a LEGEND.

Never got why he didn't have a solid WWF/WWE run.

Wild after he had that match a few weeks ago. Now I’m tempted to search it out.

Sabu being part of WWECW still has me

This crazy dude actually got signed to the E.

According to Sabu's book, it was all on him. No different from when he was doing the most in WCW and Bischoff gave him the . Sabu was like a underground rapper that tried to put out a mainstream album, but decided to go back to the underground because he's a rebel without a clue, but real ones know the name and respect the craft.

I always thought he could never speak

Yeah dude killed any bit of relevance he had with that racist shyt....

Dude was the definition of washed, not surprising tbh

 

[MenacingMonk]

Got to see him wrestle live when he was booked for XPW shows. He was likely a POS, but he entertained a young Monk back in the day.

I always thought he could never speak

I’m surprised he kept silent for so long.

Was he even able to properly walk?

I know one or both the hardyz walk like backwards cowboy style

Breh I still get chills from his ECW commercial



Mans made you believe he could give a fukk about your life and his. Yes as time progress mans suffered from injuries and set in his ways, but man...prime FMW/ECW Sabu was the business.

I remember that commercial, Paul E. did an incredible job at selling the ECW wrestlers.

That Taz/Sabu feud was cinema

When the lights went off, and both were in the ring, then they ran at each other, and the lights went back off, then the lights come on again and both are gone. Paul E. did an amazing job at selling that feud/match.


Sidenote, I always liked Sabu's theme song
