Sabu SHOOTS on The Stiffest Wrestler, Funniest Wrestler, Smelliest Wrestler & MORE!

"He didn't believe his gimmick, he just lived it". That's actually the simplest way I've ever heard the concept of kayfabe. Well put.

[@zamplify]

New Jack didn't believe his gimmick, he just lived it.

[@kwmusic4560]

I remember running into the Sandman at Cheerleaders, which was a titty bar down the road from the ECW Arena, after a card. He was really friendly, and when I offered to buy him a beer he asked for a Long Island Ice Tea instead, which really surprised me because his gimmick was being the beer drinker. It's funny that Sabu mentioned that.

[@BlankEartling5339]

Interesting

[@anomaly_1417]

Maybe didn’t wanna drink that night

[@crimsontide1980]

@@anomaly_1417 well then why the hell would he ask for a Long Island Tea??? That's like saying I don't want to do any drugs as I cut up a few lines

[@crimsontide1980]

@@JGD185 you're right, I was replying to Reese saying that maybe Sandman didn't wanna drink that night. I was telling him that he wouldn't want a Long Island Tea if he didn't want to drink. I get that Sandman didn't want a beer but he obviously was looking to drink if he wanted liquor

[@DB800187]

Legend!! Got to see Sabu live 3 times, always gave the fans their moneys worth. He was way ahead of everybody else with the moves he did. One of my alltime favorites.

In ECW that would be bad ass RVD Mr Monday night

[@stevew6910]

Sabu and Rob was crazy talented back in the day, I loved watching those two wrestle, I looked at Sabu as a reckless ,do whatever it takes to win, Rob as a modern technical wrestler with devastating power and moves

[@mercyfulfrost2831]

I'll always remember the time Sabu, in nothing but a towel, came up to me after an event and asked me for some weed. 5 minutes later RVD came out and asked me the exact same thing! Classic! So many good memories from seeing ECW in the 90s.

[@pizzahighfive2612]

Sabu/Rob Van Dam has never been beaten straight up. They've only lost by weird situations like Sabu leaving the ring completely, and rvd needing to take on 2 guys. But them being together, I swear I have never seen them lose.

Sabu on WSI wowzers this is Amazing!!!!!!!!

[@divinefallfromgrace]

I got to watch this Ledge wrestle for a smaller Promotion in my hometown, about 2009 or so. Top Card, vs RVD, Hardcore Match. At one point, they were swingin' at each other 2ft in front of me. Van Dam also Potato'd him with a Thrust Kick at one point, knocking Sabu's forehead into a steel pillar. DREAM stuff for me, not being from the US. Thanks Sabu/RVD, it was an absolute pleasure. 😁🤟🏻

[@DeadKoby]

I'm actually glad that Barry Horowitz got some credit. He always had a respectable match, and opponents were able to do their stuff.

[@rogerrose2361]

I believe Barry and Brooklyn Brawler atleast belong in the legacy wing of the hall of fame. Two of the greatest jobber and gimmick ever.

[@jaythor70]

George South- if Ric Flair could have a match with a broom, George could put the broom over, and make it look good. Horowitz was good, Tim Horner was best as a jobber, Brooklyn Brawler was also best as a jobber.

[@michaelklingenberg7872]

I had the pleasure of seeing Sabu live in Jacksonville and it blew my mind! I literally walked out of that show with his blood on my boots after he took the fight into the crowd...

Sabu saying he doesn't want to trip, I get it. I did plenty of acid back in the day too. Nowadays, you couldn't get me to touch it. Too long of a commitment. That shit lasts forever. I still hit the shrooms occasionally though. That's 4 hours, not the 8-10hrs you have to commit to w/acid.

[@Vintage1977guy]

Hey Sabu! Why don't you tell them about the time probably 20 years ago were you tried to burn me with your cigarette cause I asked you for a picture after a ECW PPV at the Millennium Theater in Kissimmee Florida? Hell, even Sid was nice enough to tell me to F-off instead of trying to burn me. I'm the same guy that use to hang with you all on the side of the Kissimmee Agricultural Center with Bam Bam, New Jack, and RVD. Remember the one guy that always brought a keg for after the show?

Van Damn listening to fruity music is the least surprising thing Sabu said here lol

[@ll7868]

RVD listens music that teenage girls and boys smitten by pop singers listen to, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, K-pop boy and girl bands manufactured in a board room to sell action figures & merch and club music bass beats with random synth noise. I wouldn't call it "fruity" just not the type of music a grown man chooses as their favourite genres unless he's going through a midlife crisis trying to be cool and young again. It's kinda sad actually. If I were a wrestler my ring song would be Nice Day For A Funeral by Overkill, no lyrics, just the music. Classic 80s thrash metal.

[@Skaarxiong1]

Sabu is one of my favorite wrestler in ECW. that's why i hate that piece of shit WWE for destroying guys like Sabu, Sandman, Raven, the Japanese Buzzsaw Tajiri and so on. i'm surprise the WWE didn't have the balls to hire New Jack.

@@BrockAwesome Wtf has that got to do with Brunk? That doesn't even sound like anything he would do, and like I said, he's been through enough without your little gossip girl bullshit. Imagine being so toxic you'd even want to know, much less repeat this garbage. And your little underage hooker friend needs to get off social media before she has 3 kids before she graduates.

[@skepchica]

How about has anyone checked on Sabu to see how he's doing? Weirdos.

[@skepchica]

@@BrockAwesome I don't know or care to know neither of the people you're talking about. That doesn't have anything to do with Brunk and he isn't hitting on little girls on the internet. But let me guess, tge other dude, she continued to get pictures right? She didn't block him at the first nude? Did she leak it on social media for attention or press charges? Shes not a victim, she's a rat. Dont be a cuck your whole life.
