The wrestling world is in mourning after the shocking news broke that former ECW Superstar and Hardcore Wrestling legend Sabu passed away. The initial cause of death has not been disclosed as of this writing. He was only 60 years old.

Sabu, real name Terry Brunk, was one of the most beloved hardcore wrestlers of his generation. He was a former two-time ECW World Champion during their most successful time in the 1990s. He also had a run in TNA and a brief stint with WWE in the mid-2000s.

Sabu, the nephew of former wrestling star The Sheik, earned the nickname as “the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal, death–defying maniac,” due to his high-flying and high-risk moves!

He had his retirement match against Joey Janela last month during WrestleMania Week in April. All of us at Turnbuckle Times send our condolences to the whole Brunk family.
