We've lost another legend of the land of Extreme, this one being one of ECW's biggest names in it's history and one who just days back had his final match.
"The Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal Maniac" known as Sabu has passed away, aged 60 (1964-2025).
The former one-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion recently wrestled in what was being billed as his retirement match and we now know that it indeed was. He faced Joey Janela in a brutal No Ropes Barbed Wire match and for 60 years old gave the fans a hell of a match with lots of sick spots.

| Sabu and Joey Janela wrested in what would be Sabu's final match - a match billed as his "Retirement Match" at Game Changer Wrestling's Joey Janela's Spring Break 9 event in Las Vegas on April 18th, 2025. The match was a "No Rope Barbed Wire" match. |
Sabu's most famous moment happened during a similar Barbed Wire match, this one, taking place in 1997 in the height of ECW's success, saw Sabu tear his bicep during his brutal match for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against the champion, Terry Funk. Instead of stopp
ing the match (something no ECW fans would have allowed), Sabu requested his manager, Bill Alfonso, grab some super glue and athletes tape and you know the rest! Iconic momen in his career and ECW's history!
