Surprisingly Sabu is one of the most sane wrestlers from the older generation. Very sharp memory. Considering all the insane trauma he put his body and head through.
truth. i find i remember things more clearly when baked af. it's like my brain goes on autopilot and things that are memorable my brain just automstically remembers and i don't even realize that i remembered it until someone asks me about it. like this interview here. he's probably not sittin around thinkin about all these things he's getting asked about he's just recalling the information off the tpp of his head. it's better that way.

I love FMW. Especially the early 90s, it has the best female action I've ever seen. The females work so damn hard like they got something serious to prove. Megumi Kudo is the FN best! It doesn't matter what match it is, she goes hard every match.
Im a performing musician and songwriter. Ive tried my best to analyze why I get nervous before gigs. For me, its thinking about flubbing a chord, messing up a beat, or forgetting a line. The funny thing is Ive done all three live and you just keep going and usually no one notices. If you're good at your instrument and you rehearsed enough for the gig, you just tell people its the "live version". The nice thing is, the more you do it, the less nervous you get. At least in my experience.
When I was about 16/17 I refereed a match for Sabu over in the UK around 20 years ago, I was green as fuck and he knew it - which he wasn't happy about, he kicked me out of the ring at the end of the match, good times.
I wished Hayabusa R.I.P. would have had more matches in the United States. Especially against Sabu and RVD. It would have been something if he was in the WWF/E during the Attitude Era. Unfortunate, Hayabusa declined WWF/E offers, during the New Generation Era.
He talks about the explosion matches in FMW, how the bombs are button activated where someone in the back makes them go off. Which makes sense, but I wonder how they would make the bombs go off when they used a loose piece of barb wire plywood. Like in the finals of the 95 IWA Japan KOTDM, Cactus Jack and Terry Funk would move the plywood all over the ring, and it clearly didn't have a wire connected to it to be button activated.

@@Brando-Lee3725 don’t pay any attention to him. He’s a little wannabe intellectual weasel. He comments on several wrestling videos talking like he’s a college professor or somebody… while trying to put others down, he’s a bitch. And you are right, Sabu is the man👍
When you have backing from the criminal underground, chances are licensing, arrests, lawsuits, fees, and such are easier to get around or not done. Japan, Mexico, and Puerto Rico being 3 such countries where these sorts of stories have been talked about or mentioned before.

It's a shame his character never spoke. He cuts a great interview. We may have REALLY missed the boat there. I cannot believe how articulate this man is! Thanks for all of your dedication and sacrifice Sabu!
Even when a "botch" may happen from time to time , to me it just adds to the reckless style Sabu provides ! It doesnt bring the match down to me . Anyone else ? Yeah maybe ! lol ! Not SABU ! As he is the inventor of that style tons try to copy . Just like you cant imitate the Sheik and do justice , same goes for Sabu !
Someone sent me a comment asking me why I look at this channel if I'm opposed to breaking KayFabe (which I feel Sabu did in this interview segment) First, I am a die hard wrestling fan. I appreciate knowing facts like who was the best worker or who needed a shower. What I don't however want to know was details about how tables are gimmicked, or how rings explode. And I think I'm in love with the skinny British guy who does this channel and I want Jim Cornette to get ordained so he can marry us👍
I can't be a wrestling fan anymore. When did we get to the point where we must know EVERYTHING about every work, every gimmick, who shot John and where the bodies are hidden.🤷 Thanx SABU👍 and ALL you guys that make this shit seem more fake every day.
You're right. For example: Movies are better when you watch it and are fully engaged in the characters and story being told. But too many dorks want to know everything, so the info is everywhere and it spoils the movie. I feel wrestling is the same as movies in ways.. and knowing everything is definitely spoiling wrestling. But like the dude above me said.. watching one episode of WWE or AEW is what truly ruins all of wrestling, so much to the point where it is no longer pro wrestling, it is closer to either dancing or circus flipping.

Great interview , truly enjoyed going through my childhood memories of Sabu in ECW and in Japan. Really appreciate the work you did for this interview

Sabu is pretty normal when sober and has a good memory too! Good interview series. Just that both the interviewer and Sabu speak so fast.
Maybe it’s just me but I’d swear he’s on the packet/gear/Charlie/coke with the way he’s acting in this video
Talking too fast or listening too slow?

Thank you Sabu, you are the most badazz wrestler ever!!
Ole Ter’ hopefully he is doing good. My favorite wrestler of all time. As I age I understand the loyalty but also the loyalty to one’s self.

But Shinzaki said yes 😁
Thumbs up, Luv The Original Sheik and Sabu

The Yakuza is Japan's "commission".
Huh?

The yakuza doesn't exist. It's just a myth.

Great questions
I remember being stunned when I first saw him do a shoot interview way back when. Dude can speak English lol
42 year old me still marks out for Sabu!
Basically, Sabu is the original Tex Ferguson
Seems like a great guy
Sabu #1
He must've got tired of getting super soaked by his Japanese wife lmao

I've never heard sabu discuss winning the nwa title. Someday.
He did win the Title one time in the year 2000, he didn't hold it long though
Sabu had a Japanese wife, never knew that.

Ya I agree. When other people mess up, it's lame. Sabu is still fresh even when he botches
Botches are cool back then.. they made things feel real. Today people are super focused on them, it's annoying.
This is some funny stuff he is like Taz give me some cowboy boots last person on Earth you would imagine would have cowboy boots is Taz.
Taz wears anything make him taller lol.
Luther gets zero love
Is he still married? or he doesn't have the apartment anymore in Japan?
