Sabu On Why He Doesn’t Consider Himself To Be A WWE Star

Sabu is one of the most iconic characters ECW ever produced and one of the most unique aspects of his gimmick was his refusal to do promos or interviews.

However, during a recent appearance on Total Engagement with Matt Koon, the former ECW Champion revealed that being silent wasn’t a part of his gimmick for him and there was a different reason why he never talked.

According to Sabu, he is shy and he can’t really speak in public. When he was a kid he saw all the wrestlers coming out screaming. Seeing it, his mom said to him that he should never do it and so he never did.

Continuing on the topic, the Attitude Era star admitted that not talking hurt him. Everybody wanted him to talk and they thought he was holding up his gimmick but he was just afraid. He went on to claim that he would rather jump off a building then talk in public.

Later in the interview, the Hardcore star also discussed his WWE run in 2006-2007 and claimed that when the company signed him, they promised to keep him just as he was in ECW but they lied.

They started giving him lengthy promos to perform. So when people ask him if he was in WWE he says no. He doesn’t consider himself to be a WWE star because he just stopped by the company and didn’t stick around.
