hi! i figured this would be a good way to break the ice and get people chatting with other wrestling fans.
what have you all been watching recently? unfortunately i haven’t watched anything since the Rizzler match in AEW which had me screaming, laughing and almost crying. i love goofy little gimmick matches like that. kinda wild that the Costco Guy broke his foot before the match and then did 20 minutes honestly
Sabu, like most of his ECW contemporaries, was a product of the hard & edgy 90s pop culture that championed misogyny, racism & homophobia, just as much as non-mainstream wrestling championed good in-ring work over vapid promo-thons. I’ll never forget when he got banned from pre-musk Twitter for a massive bigot rant he went on & everyone only paid attention for like two seconds lol.
I recognize the man’s influence in the biz, but I haven’t forgotten who he & his old war buddies let themselves be in life, & I offer no condolences as a result. There are way worse people in wrestling than him tho, all or most of whom are still living, & might not even be ECW alumni.
