Extreme Championship Wrestling legend, Sabu returns with a brand new series on Title Match Network. Here Sabu talks about his infamous feuds vs Terry Funk.
Who can forget the barbed wire match where Sabu rips open his bicep? Hear why Sabu credits Funk with being the first major star to let him do his own style of wrestling.
Most fans may know Sabu from his ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) days but he was wrestling for a good 10 years prior to his breakout success. Also, Terry Funk already had three decades of experience before reinventing his career in ECW.
Sabu's uncle, the Original Sheik, was good friend's with Terry's father, Dory Funk Sr. In turn, the Sheik actually help a young Terry Funk break into the business during the mid 1960s.

I saw Terry Funk wrestle at ECW in Philly immediately after work one evening , so I arrived late and was wearing a dressy grey pinstriped suit. As Terry was about to make his entrance, he had to walk past me in the rear. He quickly came out of character as he made his entrance and politely said “Excuse me sir” and just as quickly returned to his Terry Funk persona…As someone who literally grew up with professional wrestlers and wrestling, this brief episode struck me funny.
The Funks... Dory Sr, Dory Jr and Terry were born in Hammond Indiana where I also was too. Always been a fan of them.
There was a video (has since been taken down) of Buzz Sawyer wrestling around 1982 in Florida and he was so far ahead of his time when he was in shape. He was working like Dynamite Kid and Tiger Mask around the same time in terms of speed in the ring and making everything look credible and with wild bumps. Doesn't get talked about how good he truly was.
I was born in 74 and I was lucky to catch some of the good years .. My Dad liked going to Cobo hall .. one thing you knew about the Funks somebody is going to bleed
Big Time Wrestling
The barbed wire massacre was painful to watch. Sabu and Terry Funks toughness is legendary.
That was one of the few times when the only noise you heard from the ECW crowd was an uncomfortable, concerned murmur. It was usually "HOLY SH*T!" but with that match it was "...holy sh*t..."
Sabu one of the greatest ever!love sabu!!
Never heard sabu talk until I started watching these vids. Guy seems cool as hell.
Ive met him at shows a cpl times n a concert once...hes a hard guy to not like..very awesome dude
Great to hear 😀 Buzz was my dad and ive always love watching Sabu
Happy to hear, also. I liked the mad dog when I discovered wrestling. It’s a dirty business, happy someone said something positive about your dad
@@keytoxic8639 Yea 😄 He was a wild man and the biz was different back then.You were supposed to protect the biz but he prob crossed some lines 🤣I was trying to find the match when Sheik wrested my dad on Dec 25 1983..but dont think its on tape..can only find the promo for it
Buzz and Tommy Rich in the Last Battle of Atlanta is another brutal, bloody war that will always be remembered.
Thats awesome.
How cool I was skeptical when I first saw the comment then I saw Woyan as your surname and knew it was true.
Always loved watching the Funker. His short lived tag team with Too Cold Scorpio went under the radar. Loved that team
Liked them as a team myself . Think that WWF slept on them as a legitimate tag team . Would have loved to seen them challenge N.O.A. for the tag titiles .
@@craigstrachan omg yes! I can hear the Funker ripping some promos
@@craigstrachan scorpio was not safe worker
Two of my all time favorites.
Rest In Peace Terry Funk. Thank you for everything
I love Terry Funk plus he hard as nails aswell. Terry Funk helped ECW and its wrestlers and its refreshing he did. Terry Funk is one of top 5 wrestlers ever.
Thank you Sabu for giving up so much of your body to entertain the fans.......the homicidal, genocidal, suicidal moniker truly stuck for Sabu. The Born To Be Wired match was a one of kind thing.....my god what those two put themselves through in that war.......truly violent and hardcore.
Sabu will always be my favorite wrestler
R.I.P. Terry Funk
Sabu seems to be a likable person. God bless him.
My favorite wrestler was Don Leo Jonathan ..the Funks knew him.
Don Leo the big fk'n Mormon lol
Interesting stuff.
Good to see Sabu.
R.I.P Super Genie
This channel is 🔥🔥🔥
Terry funk was more than only a hardcore wrestler but he's a former nwa champion. Look at both Terry and his brother dory
Is that match between Sabu and terry funk the barbed wire massacre match on peacock I hope it is
Terry Funk vs. Terry Brunk (Sabu)
Terry Funk didn't change, he new how to put someone over.
" no he died before I met him" 🤷♂️
Buzz was awesome. Shame about the drugs.
is this going to be another 4 year long shoot interview like the Greg the Hammer interview??
I hope so!! Valentines videos are classic
Sad thing to hear about funk
Terry funk is 77 at this moment
Sabu made Funk #YeahRight
He didn't say that.
Uhhh.....no. Terry Funk was a legend and a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion (when the NWA Title was THE title) LONG before ECW came to be. Terry gave a lot to help make ECW become the promotion that forced change. Without it, the Attitude Era never happens.
The funny thing is ... This fast talker wants to talk about high flying wrestling moves. Those moves do not mean you are going to have a long dependable career.
DAMN. is that herpes?
Most likely.
Cocan is a lovely drug
Never heard of it.
His name is Dr. Rockso, the rock n' roll clown. He does cocaine. That's all we know.
"Go ahead, try it." Funk sounds cool.
