A brotherhood and bond that very few in our business will ever understand.

Nobody made me want to be a wrestler more than Sabu.

R.I.P. to a true hardcore legend
Suicidal, homicidal, genocidal 4-ever
Heart broken hearing the news of Sabu passing away. He always treated me great and we shared some special moments in the ring. He made me laugh so many times over the last 20 years. Rest in Peace and God Speed Sabu.

Sabu was a trailblazing groundbreaker who played a major role in the expansion of what a pro wrestling match could be. The fact that tables are commonly utilized in pro wrestling is because of Terry Brunk & how he made an inanimate object like a table a must see… pic.twitter.com/5WbvnMTs8j
I'm glad I saw him in Vegas after his match in his dressing room. He was a mess. He stood and gave me a safe hug, not wanting to bleed on my suit. I asked him if he was OK. He said he was. We agreed to burn one later. I said, "I love you man." Sabu said "Love you too brother."

I am truly saddened to learn of the passing of Terry Brunk, who many of us knew and admired as Sabu. His contributions to the world of professional wrestling were nothing short of legendary. I always looked forward to seeing him at our wrestling conventions, where he was not only… pic.twitter.com/WyfEfHc2P5
