I first met Sabu in 1993 when he was wrestling for a new promotion called Eastern Championship Wrestling. His in ring style was wild, innovative and he showed absolutely no fear. I’m glad that the last time I saw him, I got to tell him how much I appreciated him. RIP, my friend. https://t.co/n9cZAnVqSe

Nobody made me want to be a wrestler more than Sabu.

R.I.P. to a true hardcore legend
Suicidal, homicidal, genocidal 4-ever
MAPLE LEAF PRO is deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Sabu.

He was an outlaw and a gamechanger.

He inspired so many that stepped inside a GCW ring and he will continue to inspire for generations to come.
His legacy will last forever and he will never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace, and...
Long Live SABU ☝️ pic.twitter.com/xSQuNwo1n1

A pioneer, a rebel, and an outsider. Too extreme for the mainstream. Captured the imagination of multiple generations & inspired too many to count.

Without a doubt, one of the most influential wrestlers of *all* time.

Sabu was the man in and out of the ring. Whenever we were on events together I always looked forward to seeing him. Being able to work with him as much as I did is a highlight of my career and helped influence the wrestler I am today.
