WWE Star Pushed For Sabu's Hall of Fame Induction Weeks Before Passing

May 12, 2025May 12, 2025|Thomas Lowson

Key Points

  • Push for Hall of Fame Induction: Sami Zayn advocated for Sabu's WWE Hall of Fame induction shortly before his passing, following Sabu's retirement match.
  • Posthumous Recognition: Despite not being inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame during his lifetime, Sabu was honored in other wrestling halls of fame and will now receive posthumous recognition from WWE.

The wrestling world is mourning the loss of Terry 'Sabu' Brunk who has died at the age of 60. While Sabu never held gold in WWE, there had been efforts for him to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame prior to his passing.

On X, Sami Zayn shared that Sabu's death had been a gut-punch. The former Intercontinental Champion added that he had been pushing for Sabu to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame just weeks ago following Sabu's retirement match. Zayn wrapped up his post with a series of praising compliments for the late wrestler.

Sabu was not inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame but is part of several similar groups. In 2009, he was inducted into the Hardcore Hall of Fame with a banner with his name being displayed in the ECW Arena. In 2024, Sabu took his place in the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Now, any induction into WWE's class of Hall of Famers will be posthumous. Our thoughts remain with those who knew Sabu best at this sad time.
