I think we should all have a moment of silence/prayer for Mr. Terry Brunk for STRENGTH after all of the years of entertainment and what he has to be going through after losing his soul mate Melissa Coates BKA Super Genie.......... STAY POSITVE SABU!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember running into the Sandman at Cheerleaders, which was a titty bar down the road from the ECW Arena, after a card. He was really friendly, and when I offered to buy him a beer he asked for a Long Island Ice Tea instead, which really surprised me because his gimmick was being the beer drinker. It's funny that Sabu mentioned that.
@@JGD185 you're right, I was replying to Reese saying that maybe Sandman didn't wanna drink that night. I was telling him that he wouldn't want a Long Island Tea if he didn't want to drink. I get that Sandman didn't want a beer but he obviously was looking to drink if he wanted liquor
Legend!! Got to see Sabu live 3 times, always gave the fans their moneys worth. He was way ahead of everybody else with the moves he did. One of my alltime favorites.
Sabu and Rob was crazy talented back in the day, I loved watching those two wrestle, I looked at Sabu as a reckless ,do whatever it takes to win, Rob as a modern technical wrestler with devastating power and moves
You can tell how honest Sabu is, as almost every other person who was ever involved in wrestling will tell you they were there the night of the Mass Transit incident
Crazy how a guy who has took some of the craziest bumps in wrestling freaks out over turbulence. Dude literally duct taped his bicep back on in a barbwire match and been tossed threw flaming tables
Sabu/Rob Van Dam has never been beaten straight up. They've only lost by weird situations like Sabu leaving the ring completely, and rvd needing to take on 2 guys. But them being together, I swear I have never seen them lose.
I'll always remember the time Sabu, in nothing but a towel, came up to me after an event and asked me for some weed. 5 minutes later RVD came out and asked me the exact same thing! Classic! So many good memories from seeing ECW in the 90s.
**That's legend!** One of my friends who was working a gas station in New Orleans in the 90s was invited to party by RVD and Tanaka with 2 girls with them.. my friend turned it down and said he had to go to school tomorrow. Yes, he regrets it.
I got to watch this Ledge wrestle for a smaller Promotion in my hometown, about 2009 or so. Top Card, vs RVD, Hardcore Match. At one point, they were swingin' at each other 2ft in front of me. Van Dam also Potato'd him with a Thrust Kick at one point, knocking Sabu's forehead into a steel pillar. DREAM stuff for me, not being from the US. Thanks Sabu/RVD, it was an absolute pleasure. 😁🤟🏻
George South- if Ric Flair could have a match with a broom, George could put the broom over, and make it look good. Horowitz was good, Tim Horner was best as a jobber, Brooklyn Brawler was also best as a jobber.
I had the pleasure of seeing Sabu live in Jacksonville and it blew my mind! I literally walked out of that show with his blood on my boots after he took the fight into the crowd...
Sabu saying he doesn't want to trip, I get it. I did plenty of acid back in the day too. Nowadays, you couldn't get me to touch it. Too long of a commitment. That shit lasts forever. I still hit the shrooms occasionally though. That's 4 hours, not the 8-10hrs you have to commit to w/acid.
I can't believe people do not pick his brain more about his Uncle the original Sheik. He was a believable heel for sure and never broke character and promoted a territory.
I had my 18th birthday party at Travelodge Sweets. It was great. The security guards knocked on our door and not only partied with us but kept the cops away 😂 25 years ago but still a great memory
Hey Sabu! Why don't you tell them about the time probably 20 years ago were you tried to burn me with your cigarette cause I asked you for a picture after a ECW PPV at the Millennium Theater in Kissimmee Florida? Hell, even Sid was nice enough to tell me to F-off instead of trying to burn me. I'm the same guy that use to hang with you all on the side of the Kissimmee Agricultural Center with Bam Bam, New Jack, and RVD. Remember the one guy that always brought a keg for after the show? Lol
The hell? Almost everyone who came up during the era of televised "squash" matches says that Barry Horowitz was a great jobber, along with Iron Mike Sharpe.
NEW JACK 🙅♂️🙅♀️🙅R.I.P. lol I can hear New Jack now. New Jack: Sabu, now that crazy mutha fucka . This mutha fucka took a mutha fuckin a fuckin*snaps fingers trying to remember* lmaooo
The best entrance in Wrestling Sandman the whole crowd was singing Enter Sandman best entrance for the worst Wrestler he was fucking awesome the ECW crowd loved him and who can forget Raven crucifying Sandman. And of course Tommy Dreamer vs Raven rivalry it awesome because Tommy could never beat Raven until the end he finally pinned Raven Stevie Richards brings in Beulah Mcgilicutty Rob Van Dam vs Sabu and Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn
RVD listens music that teenage girls and boys smitten by pop singers listen to, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, K-pop boy and girl bands manufactured in a board room to sell action figures & merch and club music bass beats with random synth noise. I wouldn't call it "fruity" just not the type of music a grown man chooses as their favourite genres unless he's going through a midlife crisis trying to be cool and young again. It's kinda sad actually. If I were a wrestler my ring song would be Nice Day For A Funeral by Overkill, no lyrics, just the music. Classic 80s thrash metal.
Berry Horowitz would get a few offensive moves in and then lose which was a lot better than most jobbers who would get zero offense in and just get their butts kicked
Sabu is one of my favorite wrestler in ECW. that's why i hate that piece of shit WWE for destroying guys like Sabu, Sandman, Raven, the Japanese Buzzsaw Tajiri and so on. i'm surprise the WWE didn't have the balls to hire New Jack.
If he says sandman is the smelliest i wont be surprised...he smelled like he spent the weekend in a drug lab when i seen him in ny n he walked past me in the crowd
Why did you stop Titling these as The Firing Line and instead went back to mentioning the categories? I'm assuming it's to grab more casuals' eyes who don't know what Firing Line entails.
This isn’t the Firing Line, that’s coming up on another day. And for the first time in a while it’ll actually have Firing Line on the title/thumbnail and start trying to brand it more.
@@WSI Fair enough. Some of this definitely can overlap with the Firing Line format. This is almost the flip side to Firing Line now that I think about it. Could jokingly call this section "Name That Wrestler"
I actually debuted another name association style thing with Dr Tom, although god knows when it'll eventually air as I'm getting backed up with interviews to post, which is a nice problem to have
Has anyone ever asked Sabu about the underage girl that accused him of sending her inapropriate DM's? It was the same girl that had all the receipts from James Ellsworth.
@@skepchica so if the girl was a liar then why did she have nude photos of Elsworth that had never been seen on the internet before she posted them? She was obviously telling the truth about James. I'm just saying.
@@BrockAwesome Wtf has that got to do with Brunk? That doesn't even sound like anything he would do, and like I said, he's been through enough without your little gossip girl bullshit. Imagine being so toxic you'd even want to know, much less repeat this garbage. And your little underage hooker friend needs to get off social media before she has 3 kids before she graduates.
@@BrockAwesome I don't know or care to know neither of the people you're talking about. That doesn't have anything to do with Brunk and he isn't hitting on little girls on the internet. But let me guess, tge other dude, she continued to get pictures right? She didn't block him at the first nude? Did she leak it on social media for attention or press charges? Shes not a victim, she's a rat. Dont be a cuck your whole life.

"He didn't believe his gimmick, he just lived it". That's actually the simplest way I've ever heard the concept of kayfabe. Well put.
New Jack didn't believe his gimmick, he just lived it.

Maybe didn’t wanna drink that night
@@anomaly_1417 well then why the hell would he ask for a Long Island Tea??? That's like saying I don't want to do any drugs as I cut up a few lines
@@crimsontide1980 he meant didn't want to drink beer

In ECW that would be bad ass RVD Mr Monday night

Idk if I'd call RVD a technical wrestler, but agreed they were both awesome
Man this guy is on Mount Rushmore for ECW. From the barber wire match, to the “no contest” bs at One Night Stand. He’s always going to give 1,000%
Nobody has ever seen Sabu show this much personality.
You should watch more shoot interviews then
You can tell how honest Sabu is, as almost every other person who was ever involved in wrestling will tell you they were there the night of the Mass Transit incident
I was there
@@nicolesenibaldi5404 Oh, there you are, Brian Williams. Long time no see
X-Pac was there.
@@MrFoxxx47
X-Pac~ The dude in my boys’ stable 🤙🏽
Crazy how a guy who has took some of the craziest bumps in wrestling freaks out over turbulence. Dude literally duct taped his bicep back on in a barbwire match and been tossed threw flaming tables
I love how you have to pry little details out of Sabu lol. He just answers honestly like it’s a test question.
Sabu/Rob Van Dam has never been beaten straight up. They've only lost by weird situations like Sabu leaving the ring completely, and rvd needing to take on 2 guys. But them being together, I swear I have never seen them lose.
Don't know the show but pretty sure Eliminators beat them clean once
Sabu seems like a great talker much better than I've seen anyway
Ya he never cut a promo ever in ECW all then years
I'll always remember the time Sabu, in nothing but a towel, came up to me after an event and asked me for some weed. 5 minutes later RVD came out and asked me the exact same thing! Classic! So many good memories from seeing ECW in the 90s.
Yeah sure dude

I'm a middle eastern american and knowing of Sabu vs Iron Sheik is like a total hipster flex among us! haha
It's still Objective to me darnit! Thank you Mr. Brunk for saying what needed to be said!
Nobody could do the leg drop off the top rope with a chair like he did
It was like he was moving in slow motion
Sabu on WSI wowzers this is Amazing!!!!!!!!
Terrified by turbulence but jumps off the top rope through a burning table with thumb tacks.
I got to watch this Ledge wrestle for a smaller Promotion in my hometown, about 2009 or so. Top Card, vs RVD, Hardcore Match. At one point, they were swingin' at each other 2ft in front of me.

"Crowding around him in pu..... in BARS and stuff?" Loved it!
This is such an entertaining interview. Thanks for uploading!
I'm actually glad that Barry Horowitz got some credit. He always had a respectable match, and opponents were able to do their stuff.
I believe Barry and Brooklyn Brawler atleast belong in the legacy wing of the hall of fame. Two of the greatest jobber and gimmick ever.
George South- if Ric Flair could have a match with a broom, George could put the broom over, and make it look good. Horowitz was good, Tim Horner was best as a jobber, Brooklyn Brawler was also best as a jobber.
"Besides myself?...Sandman"
WSI: Wh...
Sabu: If Not Me Sandman
Pro Wrestling and The Stone Roses. Two great tastes that go great together.
Val Venis was the stiffest wrestler 😆
OH!
Sabu was definitely clumsy lol
I had the pleasure of seeing Sabu live in Jacksonville and it blew my mind! I literally walked out of that show with his blood on my boots after he took the fight into the crowd...
I actually watch Barry's stories of the road. He would be so happy you just mentioned his name lol
Sabu is a legend!
such a great interview. the exchanges are rea;lly enjoyable
Sabu is awesome, and certainly humble.
New Jack was a cool dude .I talked to him . He is from my home county Cobb in Ga.
Sabu saying he doesn't want to trip, I get it. I did plenty of acid back in the day too. Nowadays, you couldn't get me to touch it. Too long of a commitment. That shit lasts forever. I still hit the shrooms occasionally though. That's 4 hours, not the 8-10hrs you have to commit to w/acid.
Facts
SABU!!!! YOU RULE!! Love you man!!!
Extreme Legend Sabu is
I can't believe people do not pick his brain more about his Uncle the original Sheik. He was a believable heel for sure and never broke character and promoted a territory.
You should get his book he talks about him a lot in it.
Original Sheik stories coming up on Thursday
"Besides me...Sandman."

I didn’t know Zach Braff got into wrestling podcasting, very cool transition for him!
we need that sandman shoot
Sabu is # 1!
you can imagine sandman spinning funny as yarns his voice is awesome

RIP Balls Mahoney. Loved that guy in pre Vince ECW
I was at Mass Transit. Dorchester Mass loves The Gangstars
Beside myself,
Sandman.
-Sabu
Ask Sabu if he slept inside the chalk mark
Sabu on that yay
The hell? Almost everyone who came up during the era of televised "squash" matches says that Barry Horowitz was a great jobber, along with Iron Mike Sharpe.
Legend
Does anybody know what was cut at about 6:33? I feel like it was important based on what he said after.
I was pissed SABU wasn’t there
I’ve never heard Dani talk until today.
NEW JACK 🙅♂️🙅♀️🙅R.I.P.
lol I can hear New Jack now.
New Jack: Sabu, now that crazy mutha fucka . This mutha fucka took a mutha fuckin a fuckin*snaps fingers trying to remember* lmaooo
Love his tshirt but I can’t find it online 🤷♂️ any idea?
looks like njpw shirt ( ? )
I fuckin love Sabu ☝️
I want to smoke bud with Sabu. He has some awesome stories RVD too
"um, Sandman."
4:12 lol 💦
nothing like a sandman/newjack entrance
funny interview
Barry Horowitz really was great
Barry Horowitz was legit!
Flying is for droids. I'm not terrified of flying... I'm terrified of suddenly NOT flying.
Barry Horowitz was definitely the best jobber of all time
Like seriously how many times has New Jack attempted murder in a god damn wrestling venue??
🤘Sabu🤘
Is the match sandman was on acid on RUclips?
I can’t remember his name but I know his last name has pink in it. You sound just like him! He did prank calls on the radio in England.
In defense of Rob, he probably got his music from a chick lol
You edited what NuJack said !

I'm surprised about Rob Van Damme, I thought he would listen to music like Steve Blackmans theme song.
Nope, he listens to EDM garbage

Sandman all answers, spoiler!
Travel Lodge lol Macon Ga, worst hotel on Earth lol blood on walls lol
Van Damn listening to fruity music is the least surprising thing Sabu said here lol
What do you mean asking Sabu why he thinks Barry Horowitz??? He's the most FAMOUS jobber of all-time.
How about Brooklyn Brawler
@@makaveli4205 he wasn't really a jobber. He won matches back in the 80s.
Dont freakout on a plane until l the stewardesses freak out. That's good advice. I'm petrified of flying.
Ric Flair is the greatest jobber
nah he sandbaged scot steiner on purpose in early ninetess . not putting him over
If he says sandman is the smelliest i wont be surprised...he smelled like he spent the weekend in a drug lab when i seen him in ny n he walked past me in the crowd

Begins to ask why you pick the wrestler to match that question .
Van Dam talented ?
he is but he doesnt realy improved-changed his gimick or moveset . it gets old after years
