      He once fought a SWAT team in upstate NY. Totally bonkers. Was in all the papers. Met him at ECW events, nice guy. He was always good with the kids too. And he would really drink during events. Like just sit down grab a beer with a fan on the way to the ring. His ring entrance was like 10-15 minutes long and usually longer than the matches. 🤣🤣🤣

    According to Raven, Sandman owned multiple houses before he even signed with WCW because his construction company was doing so well.

    I think sabu misunderstood and took "comatose" to mean in a figurative sense when it was very much a literal one. I don't like the to gloat on peoples misfortunes, but it's a very clear indication: ECW, for what it was, was an undisciplined entity. They wanted to be, and became, kinda the 'anti-WWF', but unfortunately for many, it became the opposite in every way, and it failed bc it lacked the things that made WWF successful, mainly Vinces strictness and control. Ppl talk about the fall of WCW and 'the inmates running the asylum' but that was truer in ECW. I know that there were a TON of drugs in WWF, but not openly and not permitted, and look at ppl like the sandman and sabu now, theyre burnt out, penniless, bitter and delusional..and pretend that it's their choice (or someone elses fault) that they never made it in a big company. Its like the wrestlers with no talent who cry politics and 'not be given a push', Vince will, and has pushed anyone whom he thought could sell tickets, he wasnt always right but the ones who stayed relevant are the ones who showed up and tried. Taker was not on top as long as he was just bc he was a big guy..It was because he was sober, and mature, the two virtues that it seemed one needed to lack to even work for ECW.

      Sabu imo was one of the more entertaining Ecw stars. I think he would have went over during the attitude era WWF. However his mic skills were his achilles heel. And his moveset was too reliant on using weapons, triple jump moonsaults/legdrops , the table spots etc. I don't believe he had any major drug issues or lack of talent holding him back at all.
