My Take
Sabu is one of those wrestlers who genuinely rewired what people thought pro wrestling could be — watching him work an ECW crowd with a folding chair, a table, and absolutely zero regard for his own body was something else entirely. The guy from Staten Island became the face of hardcore before "hardcore" was even a marketing category, and he did it by wrestling like every match might be his last. Three-time world champion sounds clean on paper, but the actual texture of his career was anything but — it was chaotic and dangerous and completely his own invention. I've always had massive respect for performers who carve out a style so distinctive that nobody else can really copy it without looking like an imitation, and Sabu absolutely did that.
