Shoot Interview With Sabu DVD Review

Shoot Interview With Sabu

Written by Phil Allely

Here’s a nice surprise for anyone who loved Sabu’s insane and often bloody matches during his ECW career, an in depth talk with the man himself. Sabu famously never spoke a word using mouthpieces like Bill Alfonso to do it for him, letting his suicidal in-ring work speak for him. The scar covered maniac is a remarkably soft spoken and intelligent man that has a wonderful memory of his career to date (in this case up to 2004) and those classic matches/feuds he took part in. The nephew of the original Sheik (himself a crazy grappler who bled constantly and threw fireballs at his foes) Sabu followed in his footsteps and began a long and hard career that would see him put his life on the line in many weird, wonderful and downright frightening matches that took their toll on his body. Talking about everything from his uncle and starting out in the business to appearances in Memphis and tours of Japan (where his first scarring occurred), Sabu (Terry if you like) tells it like it is giving his opinion on fellow grapplers, feuds, storylines, memories and ECW glory days with the likes of Taz and Rob Van Dam, his move to the more toned down WCW and his return to ECW and his and Rvd’s appearance on a live Raw show as part of a deal between Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon. This is one of those rare things an unexpected pleasure as you’d expect a virtually silent performer to have little to say, but in contrast Sabu seems to have an unending series of tales, personal memories and experiences that will surely lead to a follow dvd to cover his more recent forays in the WWE’s revamped/re-imagining of ECW.
