How does /pw/ view the legacy of Sabu? Was the man based or is his work not even comparable to modern day wrestlers?

Sabu is megabased. Intentionally included botched spots in his matches just to work the smarks. No one made high risk seem more high risk than Sabu

This sums it up so well. He was the precursor to Jeff Hardy in a way

He was a crazy bastard who I enjoyed watching kill himself and others in the ring. Same with Funk and Foley.

no one had more mystique in the early internet days. if you could get ecw tv in the Midwest/ northeast it was the coolest shit ever. I marked out big time on the ecw/lawler fued. the 2006 wwe run was cool too. megabased

Definitely mega based and had some of the most unique offense of anyone at the time. The Arabian Facebuster and the chair assisted top rope springboard Moonsault are probably two of my favorite moves of all time.

Dude cut his arm open during a barbed wire match and taped that fucker shut so he could keep going. He's as based as they get.

But at least his blown spots come from trying to do crazy shit meant to add that.
Sabu in his prime was ultra mega based.
Sabu as a person is crazy based
However his later years in ring are meh. That doesnt take away from his initial run.
Also dude has my respect for how much of a nutbag he is. Dude rips his bicep in front of a couple hundred people and tapes that shit shut.
Fastfoward decades sin cara breaks a finger and demands the match end.
Soft bitches man

Never watched AEW, but I saw some of his stuff in FMW. Botchy mfer, but some of the shit he tried to pull off was so crazy you couldn't help but get hyped for it. Kinda like watching a car crash or a train derail. You know shit is gonna go bad, but you just can't look away.

This
He was based because of how unique he was, unlike now where you have spot mokeys all over the place. Him, Funk, and Foley were the only ones doing it so it wasn't so oversaturated at the time.

I met him at the old Squared Circle restaurant in Chicago, he was signing autographs with some big tiddied blonde and his dog. At one point I go out to have a smoke and he walks out and we get into a brief conversation, he asks if I want to smoke with him in his van. I said no because I had low tolerance to weed and didn't want to look like a bitch in front of Sabu. I should have done it anyway just to say I did. Anyway, nice guy.

Nobody was doing that shit at the time so Sabu stood out bigly. Sabu spots were fucking awesome and looked great
