Profile
Biography
Sabu is a legendary, world-renowned professional wrestler who is known for his wreckless, lack-of-concern for his own well-being style of wrestling. Sabu has competed in every major wrestling organization in the world and is considered by many to be a true innovator of aerial offense, as well as being one of the first wrestlers to utilize a table during a match on a regular basis. Terry Funk even claims Sabu as "the greatest innovator of professional wrestling in the last 40 years" in the Forever Hardcore documentary in 2005.
Sabu is currently employed by World Wrestling Entertainment, where he has started speaking on a regular basis for the first time in his career. He is a member of the ECW brand's roster and frequently makes appearances on Monday Night RAW.
A broken arm, a severed fingertip and a partial scalping
On April 15, 2006 Sabu competed in a six-man tag match (alongside Damien 666 and Hijo del Perro Aguayo) against L.A. Park, Silver King and Pierroth. Sabu's team lost by disqualification, but the match left Sabu with a broken arm, part of a fingertip was severed and a partial scalping.
Despite the severity of the injuries, he still appeared at the TNA pay-per-view Lockdown on April 23, 2006. He competed in a cage match against Samoa Joe for the TNA X-Division title, and lost in barely 6 minutes.
This is certainly a testament towards Sabu's relentless determination to compete, no matter what condition he is in.
