The below video is the Big Bang moment in modern pro wrestling.

I’ve talked about it countless times over the years.

It was Oct. 1993 at NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling.

Paul Heyman’s 1st weekend as booker.

We had never seen anything like this before. NEVER.

There were…

I'm sipping a beer and thinking about Sabu. Hack Myers (RIP) introduced us when I was just starting. Hack vouched for me. On that, Sabu gave me a pass & the chance to earn his trust. We became friends. He looked out for me & vouched for me in front of other vets. Continued

Sabu was always good to ME! When I was "Antonio Banks" on the indies, he always had time for me. Always put me over to the promoters whenever we were booked on shows together. He literally gave his body to the biz.
He lives on forever as a legend in our industry.

I'm glad I saw him in Vegas after his match in his dressing room. He was a mess. He stood and gave me a safe hug, not wanting to bleed on my suit. I asked him if he was OK. He said he was. We agreed to burn one later. I said, "I love you man." Sabu said "Love you too brother."

Back in the WrestleCircus days, I cosplayed Sabu. Wrestling as him was such a blast.

We were on so many shows together. Always quiet and nice to me. Looking through my photos, it appears we never got one together or that I can find..
folks take the damn picture ???? RIP pic.twitter.com/VB3a6G0smm

Rest in Peace Sabu. I had the good fortune to wrestle him a few times, one extremely memorable match in MLW where he introduced my forehead to his steel spike. I was entranced by his Arabian Moonsault & tried my best to perfect it. One of a kind, gone too soon.

I was very fortunate to share the ring with Sabu earlier in my career. He was always cool with me every time I saw him after that and would shoot the shit with me. I appreciated that. RIP Sabu!! pic.twitter.com/zHtpR6yc2G
