The Birth of a Hardcore Wrestling Icon
In the world of professional wrestling, there are few names that evoke the raw, unfiltered intensity that defined the hardcore genre.
Terry Brunk, better known by his ring name Sabu, became one of the most feared and revered names in the business. His career, which spanned over three decades, was marked by a relentless pursuit of spectacle, danger, and violence—elements that made him one of the most unique performers the sport had ever seen.
Sabu made a name for himself during his time in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), a promotion that became legendary for its no-holds-barred matches and high-risk,
violent style. In the 1990s, when ECW was still a relatively underground promotion, Sabu’s style—featuring barbed wire, tables, and steel chairs—helped define an era. He became a household name for fans who thrived on the kind of wrestling that was unlike anything they had seen before.
