Hardcore Wrestling Legend, Sabu, Passes Away

The professional wrestling world mourns the loss of Terry Brunk, known worldwide as Sabu, who passed away at the age of 60, according to official sources. The news has shocked fans and the wrestling community, who remember Sabu as an iconic figure of the hardcore style. From barbed wire matches to unforgettable high-risk moments, Sabu gave it his all to professional wrestling. The announcement comes just weeks after Sabu participated in his last match during WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas, facing Joey Janela at the Joey Janela’s Spring Break 9 event. Sabu, known for his extreme and risky fighting style, left an indelible mark on the history of wrestling.

Sabu began his career under the tutelage of his uncle Ed “The Sheik” Farhat, and made a name for himself during his time in ECW in the 1990s. There, he combined aerial acrobatics with ultraviolent combat that included barbed wire, chairs, tables, and more. He was a two-time ECW Champion, an ECW Tag Team Champion, and an ECW World Television Champion. Sabu starred in memorable rivalries with Rob Van Dam and Taz. The hardcore legend also competed in New Japan Pro Wrestling, WCW and TNA before having a brief stint in WWE in the 2000s, after the company bought ECW. Sabu wrestled at WrestleMania 23 in 2007, when he was part of the ECW Originals team that defeated The New Breed in a tag team match. He was released a month later. After touring the independent wrestling scene, Sabu made an appearance in AEW in 2023 as a special enforcer for a match between Chris Jericho and Adam Cole. The cause of Sabu’s death has not been revealed.
