Sabu is the most underrated and underappreciated wrestler ever in my opinion
Listening to him, he's certainly not underrated in his mind. Created ecw and changed wrestling apparently.
LMAO not by a long shot. Come on.
Sabu is definitely not a talker, lol. But, it makes his answers short and straight to the point. He doesn't bullshit
..or he bullshit, but doesn't use many words to do it.
@@jonathanturbide2232 that makes no goddamn sense
I don't blame sabu. You aren't being paid to talk precisely like you are delivering a promo. It's an interview
@@jayhollows5729 exactly
Who wants short, to the point answers if you're a listener? We want stories and details
“Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it.” That’s great advice for any up and coming wrestler
That sounded like good life advice when I heard it
@@deewolfpack304 facts
It's not tho. Because then you just end up another big guy lumbering around the ring like great Khali. Vader and bam bam Bigelow got over because they did so much in the ring. Nowadays guys like luchasaurus and Lance archer are over as hell because even tho they're big they can still move like a junior heavyweight. Sabu's thinking may have worked in the past, but no longer. Wrestling fans demand more from the matches. It only works like how sabu thinks because Vince McMahon is an idiot and will pay a guy like omos way more for alot less work than he would pay Leon ruff who is 5x the wrestler omos is. Simply because omos is big. It's stupid and archaic.
This is so true. Good advice for a lot of the guys these days. Keep trying to one up each other with crazy ass moves too often has the potential to ruin the idea of it being a competitive match instead of a choreograph fight. Don’t get me wrong there all incredible athletes but it dents the character a bit if the moveset is just like a guy half your size or double your size.
Sabu impressed me with how well he explains this stuff
@@pabloamador667 even as the business changes there are still bits of the old school that you can use to great effect. you just have to pick the right spots to do them. It’s great to have a big guy that can fly but if everybody does it all the time, how is it special or unique? Sabu had it right.
Time seems to go by quick during Sabu's interviews.
I agree
Too good
Lol..true
Was thinking exact same
Because he doesn't go in depth on anything
It’s so surreal to hear him speak. He’s a madman in the ring and a thoughtful and insightful person out of it.
The more you know, am I right!? 🙂
talks like he's missing a few brain cells.
That is a fact. Sabu didn't need to do Talking promos. He can connect just by arriving. I love the mystic of Sabu. I actually wanted to see Sabu wrestler Undertaker back in the Day . ECW prime (The real one that use to be on at 1 A.M)
That's the ECW I miss. I caught by accident the first time I watched it.
One of the smartest answers I ever heard before.
Love hearing Sabu. Wishing all the best post-retirement.
One of the coolest things about listening to Sabu apart from his knowledge of the business is that everything he says is deliberate.
I legitimately thought he did not speak english when I was in high schooschool. Well done man.
Sabu didn’t need an angle, he could tell a story completely in the ring!
Sabu is the most original wrestler to pop up in a longtime . Everything he brought to the table was different .He changed the game by just being him . Who would have ever thought breaking tables would be a staple of EVERY wrestling show on earth now when he started doing it ? And that is only a small fraction of what made Sabu different . I could write a fn essay !
I never realized how much of a real class act Sabu is... What a legend! 🙂
Sabu has ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY 3 FAVORITE WRESTLERS!!! Ever since I was a like 7 & got to watch ECW cause we lived in JERSEY I was hooked.
2 of my favorite people to watch do interviews Sabu and new jack. They always tell it straight no bullshit and no politics just real conversation
Him telling ppl how Vince made wrestlers Choreograph matches explains the Bel Air Alexa match being scary movie move for move
Sabu excellent Wrestler and a genuine man
Sabu is right when he says big guys shouldn’t do high flying moves… look what happened to Sid’s leg back in WcW
Sabu is truly a wrestling genius dude understands the business inside and out I love the mindset about his moveset
It warms my heart to know that Sabu and the late New Jack were real friends. Both really gave their soul and bodies for the business in ways that only those two men could.
Sabu undestands ( physiology )!!!
When I think about how much my introversion has closed doors in my life, it makes it that much more impressive that Sabu achieved so much in a business that's so much about persona.
sabu is 100% on point with his move set looked like he should do it. his character is one of the best for that, like from all angles the character makes sense, feels real, and can convince you.
Sabu's match with Taz at Barely legal got me hooked.
Abyss is by far the nicest guy I've ever wrestled. He and his wife are absolute genuine good people
Sabu won't look at the camera he looks down at the ground.
You can tell how shy he is, he makes no eye contact
Sabu didn't have a lot to say about every topic, but he had a lot to say about Abyss. Seems like he really likes the guy.
Sabu's right, Chris Jericho's powerbombs always looked like shit.
Sabu is real Hardcore ECW and Legend and thx for putting your body everything on the line and scars brother
Sabu didn't fit in in WWE. That is a knock on WWE. Sabu took pride in his work
Well he only signed a one year contract with wwe and left after it expired. Didn’t plan on staying for a long term
Former NWA World's Heavyweight Champion.Sabu
I knew it! What Sabu said about every aspect of the match being choreographed now. That explains all the ridiculous spots that look half botched. Kick misses and the opponent still falls etc. The worst is when they miss the move and then get up and do it again! No wonder there's no real stars in WWE, you can't become a star following an exact script.
When I read "Sabu", I only hear Joey Styles saying it. SABUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Love Sabu man... I was born in 99, i remember watching ECW tapes that my brothers burned Live & watched all of Sabus insane matches when I was like 6-10 years old.. all of the old ECW matches with him were insane. And even the years forward. Sabu connected so much to the audience.. I used to be terrified of him😂 in a good way
In all these interviews I never hear ANYONE say anything bad about Abyss. Seems like everyone liked working with him and he as a person
Sabu Vs Abyss was a top 3 all time feud in TNA Without a doubt
Sabu at the icp live shows was epic!
Funny thing ... Sabu has a genuine personality ...but not much of a talker...but a wonderful story teller . Time flies when he speaks.
So damn true . How many wrestlers can you think of who never said a word , got as over as SAbu did ? Yeah Abdullah and Sheik . But modern times in the last 25 to 30 years , who else ?
Abyss......such an amazing talent. So so underrated.
Great wrestler, I loved his matches with rvd
After the Monday night wars..nobody could think on there feet in wwe
Man I shoulda learned how to wrestle fully before we(Forsaken and me) started goin on the road. I started out as Venom back in '98-99. Sabu speaks truth ❤❤❤
Argubably the greatest Ecw star
Him and RVD in my opinion
A top favorite of mine. It was awesome to see you ringside in Modesto CA
Growing up watching him on TV, it's great to hear his POV years later.
I was never a big wrestling fan but I did have my favorites and Sabu is #1 and Superfly were the only wrestlers I really liked. Although 20 years apart or maybe 25 years they’re the only two wrestlers I actually went down to South Philly to see ever……….
"My uncle always said I was special."
Special.
Sabu needs his own Podcast... dude is BEYOND interesting and provocative
Sabu 4 Life 💪☯️ rip New Jack
Fxxk Sabu.. He likes xalling people the n word.. if he EVER calls me one your favorite wrestler going be immortalized INSTANTLY😂Old dusthead
Sabu and abyss were the 2 I looked out for most whilst I was watching a lot of WWE. Love them both
I bet you had a hard time watching out for abyss
This is the second interview I’ve seen Sabu do while wearing a shirt with Melissa on it… Kinda sweet, but also kinda heartbreaking.
I always loved Sabu and his matches
After a while I had to hide from him 😂
Legend!
Glued to these Title Match interviews.
Rip genie
Did I misunderstand him about having more matches in TNA than in ECW?! It says he had 367 in ECW but only 55 in TNA (Impact) on cagematch
I think he meant WWE’s version of ECW
It looked like he was stoned by the way he was answering he questions.He was hyper focused on the question and and was the only thing he was concentrating deeply on.Then I see him rip a pen and was like Ah haaa!!
Sabu is one of the few wrestlers that I can think of along with Undertaker and possibly Bret Hart who wouldn’t bullshit you 99% of the time. Bret might be a stretch but it’s more than 50%
Brett was a huge bullshitter lol. He still til this day doesn't admit the screw job was a work.
Facts... I hate calling a whole match... I like to setup spots and play by ear... Hate the choreographed shit!!!
Man I know it’s their responsibility but shame on some of these companies not taking care of their wrestlers I remember sabu and perry Saturn needing surgery and no money to get it done perry ended up homeless I get it the drugs the pain killers etc but dame these people brought in a bunch of money for you take care of them at least offer help
He's a decent guy but talking is definitely his weakness, so he's very smart to play to his strengths.
exactly it was a great decision to never speak and to also refuse WWE when they asked him to
Was hoping the interviewer asked him about barbed wire massacre but he didn’t but I’m glad Sabu says that was his favorite match at the end of the video
Imagine Abyss in ECW
Smoking trees and listening to different clips of this shoot. Not a bad day
Remember Abyss was Big Over here in Puerto Rico before TNA
awesome
Sabu! You are so cool. I’m sorry she passed. Where can we get the shirt?
Never makes eye contact.
Like 5 dabs in ....😂😭😂😭😂😭
Hardcore was the last mans way to work, says the nephew of The Sheik. Fair enough.
Where is he looking as he speaks ?? looks nervous
He said he's shy.
#SabuIsTheMan
Love his super genie shirt
Abyss needs an AEW contract not Joe parks
He needs to have the move set conversation with Luchasaurus.
Luchasaurus is an athletic monster. Screw what sabu says or thinks.
By God if sabu wasn't a kicc ass person inside n outside of the ring I'm glad he is still here !!
Always felt better about myself after watching Sabu wrestle,
must tell my therapist about that one day, but, maybe not ;-)
lol SAbu seems well spoken and actually chill, whyd i think he was some anti social asshole lunatic full of anger.
He says more in one or two sentences than most Interview. it takes 5 minutes for bischoff or prichard to say "in don't know."
is it me or does the interviewer sound like don callis?
Yeah he does..i noticed that too
Tough badass 🤘🏼🔥☠🔥
I loved when TNA was new. They were awesome for several yrs. Abyss was awesome. Again, just another example of wwe ruining something great.
Awesome Wrestler... Cant talk, scrambled eggs from all the chair shots.
Wwe sounds annoying, that you have to practice your entire big matches.
I love Sabu but I would never in my life ask to hit his weed pen
My boy Dani cotton mouth to much OxyContin
Get your guest some water lol
This is why wwe is going under they look like robots
Sabu is SO ON POINT...!!! About how wrestling is like watching "stuntmen" instead of actual wrestling. The storylines are horrible, the way the WWE has turned pro wrestling into a friggin cirque du soleil show. And it's the MAIN reason i don't watch it anymore. The only folks that are keeping pro wrestling what it is and should be . Are Japan, Mexico, and Europe. Pro wrestling here in the states has gone too shit and then some. With the exception of AEW which is trying VERY VERY HARD too bring "roots" back into this business. I TRULY hope they succeed and put more heat on the WWE to get back to what it's all about.
Had to cut it off. Love Sabu but there’s one thing I can’t do and that’s look at spit build up on your mouth while you talk
Exactly.
It's an old person thing. Plus he's probably got dry mouth lol
Finally he just said what was true this now a days hardcore wrestling is a short cut instead of working and learning the business anybody can bust a dude i the head with halogen bulbs thumb tacks all the garbage wrestling it's ok on occasion but it's just stupid now and uneccassary
It’s distracting that Sabu looks at the ground during the interview.
What about his mannerism here, is he watching the interviewer on a pad on the table?
yes a laptop
Dammit I can't finish watching it because of that spit on his lip. Had to put my head down and listen
That dry mouth lol. He's probably got weed in that vape lol
@@darrellwilliams1714 he definitely does lol.
I get what he's saying about bigger guys shouldn't be jumping and rolling around like cruiserweights because it takes away from guys his size but at the same time I don't agree with it because it's very entertaining to watch a big dude like Keith Lee or Samoa Joe do some crazy shit. It pops the crowd everytime
Sabu is wrong about how old ECW was. ECW started as the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance and it started in 1989 before being rebranded as NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling in 1992 and eventually becoming Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1994. ECW closed it's doors in April of 2001. Joel Goodhart sold his half of TWA to Todd Gordon who would then rebrand it ECW who would then partner with Eddie Gilbert and eventually Paul Heyman. Gilbert would sell his half (begrudgingly) to Todd who would then sell it to Paul. The promotion lived for 11 years and 8 months. TNA, at the time of this interview, was around for the same amount of time as ECW.
