Really sad to hear about the passing of Sabu. One of the most unique and innovative talents ever. I remember being really excited to watch a dark match Owen had on tape vs Sabu. He was always very kind to me personally. RIP

Every time I saw Sabu at a show, at a signing or out and about, he always greeted me with a hug, a smile and a story. He was one of one and will be so missed in this crazy world of pro wrestling. RIP legend.

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— Leva Bates (@wrestlingleva) May 12, 2025

3weeks ago I got to see Sabu in a long while.
He hugged me over and over again. I was sooo happy to see him.
I wanted to talk to him more, so I thought I’d call him later. but I never did.
There are so many memories with Sabu and it just hurts so much…
Thank you Sabu☝️ pic.twitter.com/B8syZI1nMZ

今年の2月にイギリス マンチェスターで久しぶりに再会したサブゥーの訃報が届いた。
先月のラスベガスのレッスルコンにも来ていたそうだ。
いつも空を指差していたけど、本当に空に行ってしまった。
心よりご冥福をお祈りいたします。#Sabu pic.twitter.com/KBmZxU7TWv— 武藤 敬司 (@muto_keiji) May 12, 2025
