Sabu, like most of his ECW contemporaries, was a product of the hard & edgy 90s pop culture that championed misogyny, racism & homophobia, just as much as non-mainstream wrestling championed good in-ring work over vapid promo-thons. I'll never forget when he got banned from pre-musk Twitter for a massive bigot rant he went on & everyone only paid attention for like two seconds lol.

I recognize the man's influence in the biz, but I haven't forgotten who he & his old war buddies let themselves be in life, & I offer no condolences as a result. There are way worse people in wrestling than him tho, all or most of whom are still living, & might not even be ECW alumni.
