A Big Hello to all WOO Fans! 🥳🥳🥳 WOO!
All good things have to come to an end. After quite a period of time recapping Sabu's interviews with WSI, it is time to give you guys a quick rundown of the massive hour long full interview that has been released in full! For those who have been following along through all the mini episodes, this is your chance to watch binge watch everything all at once! 😄
Summary of Sabu's Journey:
- Choosing Japan Over Smoky Mountain Wrestling:
- Sabu opted for Japan over Smoky Mountain Wrestling due to better pay and the thriving wrestling scene in Japan during that time.
- Despite connections with Chris Candido and others, the financial allure and prestige of Japanese promotions like FMW kept Sabu committed to wrestling in Japan.
- Experiences with FMW and Death Matches:
- FMW was one of the major promotions in the 90s, but it fell behind New Japan and All Japan in terms of popularity.
- Sabu expressed his discomfort with the unsanitary conditions and lack of skill involved in death matches, preferring to avoid them despite their prevalence in promotions like Big Japan.
- He highlighted how the focus on extreme matches, like thumbtack and barbed wire bouts, detracted from the artistry of wrestling.
- The Realities of Hardcore Wrestling:
- Sabu discussed the unsanitary nature of hardcore matches, particularly those involving blood, thumbtacks, and barbed wire.
- He mentioned the physical toll these matches took on him, with injuries and infections being common risks.
- Despite his reputation as a hardcore wrestler, Sabu preferred technical matches that showcased skill rather than just violence.
- Reluctance to Engage in Certain Matches:
- Sabu avoided thumbtack matches whenever possible, citing the long-lasting effects of having tacks stuck in his boots and the general discomfort they caused.
- He was critical of the lack of safety and professionalism in some hardcore matches, where wrestlers would take unnecessary risks for the sake of spectacle.
- Thoughts on the Evolution of Hardcore Wrestling:
- Sabu observed how the hardcore style has evolved over the years, with promotions like ECW and FMW setting the standard.
- He acknowledged that while hardcore wrestling has its place, it should not overshadow the technical and storytelling aspects of the sport.
Sabu’s career is surely a testament to his resilience and dedication to the craft of professional wrestling. While he became an icon in the hardcore scene, his reflections reveal a deeper desire to elevate the sport beyond just blood and guts. For fans of wrestling, Sabu’s journey serves as a reminder that behind every chair shot and barbed wire match, there is an artist striving to perfect their craft.
