Sabu It will go down in history as one of the greatest referents of the extreme struggle. In the beginning, the legend was limited to fighting, leaving aside any type of promo. A peculiarity that attracted many looks and allowed him to harvest great success. However, everything changed when Vince McMahon He decided to change his character.
He explained it Tommy Dreamer In the most recent edition of Talk Is Jericho, in which the figure of the recently deceased legend wanted to honor. During his speech, Dreamer directly accused McMahon of killing Sabu's mysticism when he forced him to speak in front of the camera.
“Vince worshiped him until Vince forced him to speak. It was like the worst day of all. Paul (Heyman) said: 'They will drive Sabu to the moon'. This was the last time I saw Paul really fight for something with Vince, “Dreamer began explaining.
“Vince wanted me to speak. He (Heyman) said: 'I will handle it. Do not (you force). It is not a good talkative '. And Vince replied: 'You have to be a good talkative to succeed in this business.' Paul insisted: 'No, no, no, I will handle it. Let me be your (manager). This guy has aura. Like Sheik, you know, Sheik, blah blah '. And Vince said: 'He has to learn to speak. You have to learn to speak '.
“Then they made many shots, and finally one went well. I remember Vince seeing her with those crescent glasses he used. He said: 'Uugh, who made him talk?' And I thought: 'You did. You killing his mystique '. And after that, it was as if they simply put it in the pile with all the other types of ECW, “he concluded.
Sabu wanted to continue fighting after playing his retirement fight
At another prominent moment of the program, Chris Jericho He revealed that, a week before he died, Sabu sent him a message in which he expressed his desire to return to compete even though he had had his “retreat combat” just a month earlier at the GCW event Joey Janela’s Spring Break 9.
“I will tell you this: when you mentioned his last fight in his own terms, I do not think he is revealing anything improper in saying that I received a message of his. In fact, it was the last message that he sent me, approximately one week before I died, in which he said: 'Eh, in six months do you want to have another fight? I want to have another fight. ' So I think he had his retirement fight, but he still wanted to continue fighting. And I know that Rob (Van Dam) talked about this, where Sabu said it would not be fair to fight Rob because they were very close. I did receive a proposal from Sabu, saying that I wanted another fight, and that is also a classic wrestling story in the style of the old school, “Jericho said.
“When I know I sent me these direct messages, before Jericho Cruise really came -because he came to the cruise. He was great. He made a live podcast that was very good. He could meet Luther, his old FMW friend, but He was writing to me for years, telling me that he wanted to come to the cruise and have a fight with me where the loser would skipped over the water. And here comes Sabu's classic part: he told me, 'Now, I'm going to beat you, but I'm going to jump around the water …' I will beat you in your own cruise, and then I will jump to death“.
