Sabu Full Career Shoot Interview 2020
Former WWE, WCW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, ECW, AAA Lucha Libre and Impact Wrestling star Sabu does a career interview with The Hannibal TV including growing up the nephew of "WWE Hall of Famer" The Sheik who many consider to be the greatest heel of all time. Sabu's training for wrestling, promotions he started out in, going to Japan with The Sheik wrestling for companies like FMW and NJPW. We also get into ECW and many of the famous stories from there. ECW's working with WWE, Sabu wrestling for WCW and why it didn't work out as well as ultimately signing with WWE for a memorable run despite some behind the scenes issues. Sabu also talks his time in XPW, a live fan Q & A and much more!

One of the most innovative performers of ALL time, bar none. This guy really should've been a millionaire.

@youngche8226 4 жыл бұрын

vvstreetfightervv countless wrestlers have said that exact thing. That Sabu should he a multi millionaire for all he’s done for the industry. It’s sad really, he’s a living legend. Honestly can still go. Extremely talented. The WWE shoulda used him more when he was over there. Imagine this money in the bank Dream match that coulda and shoulda went down at a Mania (MITB Ladder Dream Mania Match: Sabu vs Eddie Gurrerro vs Jeff Hardy vs RVD vs Rey Mysterio vs Johnny Nitro. Truly woulda been one the jest ladder matches ever if this actually coulda went down.

Or imagine a TLC tag RVD and Sabu vs Dudleyz vs Hardyz vs Edge and Christian vs Jericho and Benoit. Or a Tag TLC Sabu/RVD vs Hardyz vs New Age Outlaws vs MNM vs Dudleyz or even (Bubba and Spike)

41:38 This is true. My favorite time period of ECW is late 95 and 96 because the video quality and aesthetic was perfect. The years prior it kind of looked like a lower grade regional territory but eventually it became like the perfect underground wrestling show. No logos all over the place, no bright colors or excessive lights. It was the best.

Funny around an hour 3 minutes into it Sabu is asked about Phil Baroni the NYBA. I knew him from Little League all thru HS but had no idea they ever crossed paths. When he was on Tough Man he talks to LIsa Guerrero its pretty funny. Though he is trained in Wresting, MMA, Boxing, Thai, so it would have went badly for Terry Brunk. That was a really good interview Sabu was always my favorite Wrestling especially in the FMW/ECW era. I don't think its the same year though otherwise have same Birthday as Mike Awesome a real legend best wrestler I think his size ever. Never knew about the Bruiser Brody thing or many other topics touched on so nice job on the research too.
