Sabu (Terry Brunk) has died at age 60. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reported the news on Sunday. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
Powell’s POV: Sabu wrestled a No Rope Barbed Wire match on April 18 at Joey Janela’s Spring Break 9 during WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas. The match was billed as Sabu’s final match. Although it was widely suspected that Sabu wouldn’t actually retire, it sadly did turn out to be his final match. My fondest memories of Sabu are from his peak years in ECW. He was truly innovative and was a big part of the promotion’s success. My condolences to Sabu’s family, friends, and countless fans.
It’s actually pretty amazing he lived to 60 with his style of work. Damn entertaining early in ECW when nothing had really been seen like that on a national stage.
In certain aspects it is (RIP to the Legend that is Sabu) he was fun to watch during those ECW days.
He was a racist homophobic bigot. If there is a heaven and hell, he sure as heck is NOT going to heaven.
He was very innovative. I like he was one of only 2 characters Mr. McMahon was afraid of, the other being Finlay.
I hate to speak ill of the dead, but the world is a better place without him. Terry Brunk was a racist homophobic bigot. And he wasn’t even a good wrestler anyways
No, you enjoy doing it, and it says more about you than about him.
