Bio: Sabu was trained by his legendary uncle, the original Sheik, in the early 80’s. The Sheik instructed Sabu on the basics of mat and brawling type wrestling. Sabu taught himself the death defying aerial moves he performs by himself in the ring that he built in his house. After a couple of years of training and preparation, Sabu made his unofficial debut in 1984 against The Sheik himself. Sabu bounced around Indie feds throughout the 80’s simply because there wasn’t a market for small high flying technical types. Sabu landed his first major break in 1992 when he signed with Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling (FMW), one of the top feds in Japan. There he teamed with Horace Boulder and eventually they won the FMW WWA tag titles from Atsushi Onita and Tarzan Gota. After about a year in FMW, word of mouth was starting to spread about Sabu, even to the point where Vince McMahon offered Sabu a contract, which he turned down because he had to fulfill commitments in Japan. In the fall of 1993, Sabu left FMW and signed with then Eastern Champion Wrestling (ECW), a division of the Northern Western Alliance (NWA). Sabu alternated wrestling between ECW and NWA, where Sabu won the NWA Independent Word Title from Al Snow in a ladder match that used a 25 foot ladder, the largest in wrestling history. After a short stint in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the spring of 1995, Sabu returned to familiar ground in ECW, now known as Extreme Championship Wrestling. Sabu since leaving ECW has competed on the indy circuit and has had a run with both WWE and TNA on two occasions. He now finds his home BACK in the extreme at Extreme Rising.
