Sabu
Sabu: Official Autobiography: Scars, Silence, and Superglue | Kenny Casanova, Terry Brunk
1 post | 1 read
Sabu explains in his long-awaited autobiography how he always spoke louder with actions than words in the wrestling ring. First training with his legendary uncle The Sheik in the territorial days and after his big break in Japan, Sabu pioneered a new hardcore style in the 90s on American television. In his ECW debut, he immediately dazzled fans with an innovative arsenal that included breaking tables, leaping off chairs, and working a highly-acrobatic move-set into every match. Raising the bar, he truly changed what professional wrestlers do today. Read how his SCARS from barbwire, his SILENCE on the mic, and use of SUPERGLUE on bleeding brought him to every major promotion in the world including the WWE. Read about his battle with addition, his stories on the road, and his crazy rockstar-like life - with forewords by RVD & Taz, and guest passages by Bill Alfonso, Tommy Dreamer, Raven, Al Snow, Mikey Whipwreck, Justin Credible, Blue Meanie, Kevin Sullivan & more!

With his recent passing at the age of 60 and the odd story of his retirement barbed wire death match shortly before his death, I decided to finally read this book. It didn‘t disappoint from the stories of his start in support of his uncle in the territories, to building his skills in Japan, to coming back to America to become a hardcore innovator and legend between the major promotions and indies.

JoeMo He did not hold back in the stories or opinions he shared to include some mistakes he believed he made along the way. He even shared his love for his “little friends” which killed his pain and therefore made his matches “better” but also resulted in his addiction issues and may have been a factor in his death. I learned a lot about a guy I knew next to nothing about except for the fact he seemed scary as hell 2w
TieDyeDude I knew of him, but I just watched WWE with my older brother and his friends. I only heard of him by reputation, but this sounds like an interesting read. 1w
JoeMo @TieDyeDude if you enjoy the occasional wrestler bio, this book is definitely worth it! It had some of the oddest and craziest stories about wrestling I‘ve ever read. Towards the end of the book another wrestler tells a story of wrestling a match in which Sabu gets sick in the middle of the match…gross hilarity ensues. There are supposedly tons of typos in the print copy which are reportedly distracting but the audiobook didn‘t seem as bad (edited) 4d
