| The Dudley Boys (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley give Sabu the Dudley Death Drop (3D) on an episode of Hardcore TV from October 24th, 1998. |
As we reported, ECW Icon Sabu made his All Elite Wrestling debut on this past Wednesday's AEW Dynamite where he sided with Adam Cole and Roderick Strong in their feud against the Jericho Appreciation Society. The former two-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion is now set to be a special guest enforcer in Jericho and Cole's unsanctioned match at this Sunday night's AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event.
Fellow ECW alumnus Buh Buh Dudley commented on his appearance for the company, saying:
"I thought it was a surprise for the sake of a surprise," Ray said on Sirius XM's "Busted Open Radio" show. "And when it comes to surprises, AEW does it so much now that I think it's lost its lustre a little bit. I mean, it was cool to see Sabu. As a person who started in this business and started in ECW with Sabu being the top guy, who has become friendly with Sabu, who has worked with Sabu, yada yada. Knowing the difficult times that he has been through in the past couple of years, it was good to see him."
The former 25-time tag team champion (8 of those he won in ECW) explained that he wasn't going to just heal praise on the angle just because Sabu is a fellow former ECW star. He added that if AEW commentator Taz described the backstory involving Sabu and Jericho, or if Sabu's relationship with Cole had been explained, then he would have understood his debut a little more. He ultimately felt there should have been more of an explanation regarding Sabu's appearance.
