Former WWE Star and ECW Legend Passes Away at 60

The wrestling world is mourning the loss of one of its most fearless names, Sabu, who has passed away at the age of 60. The cause of his death remains unclear at this time, leaving fans in shock.

Born Terry Brunk, Sabu became a hardcore icon in Paul Heyman's Extreme Championship Wrestling in the 1990s. He was trained by his uncle, the original Sheik, gaining notoriety for his relentless style, daring moves and barbed-wire fights that contributed to the formation of ECW. He was a two-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion and a key figure during the promotion’s rise to cult status.

After his short stint at Total Nonstop Action, Sabu also had a notable run in WWE and during the 2006 revival of ECW under Vince McMahon. Though the environment was tamer than his heyday, he still thrilled fans with his signature Arabian Facebuster and table-smashing chaos. With his unconventional style of attack and desire to test the limits of physical stamina, Sabu motivated a generation of wrestlers throughout several decades.
