Saddened to hear that Michigan native and former 2-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, FTW Champion, ECW World Television Champion, 3-time ECW World Tag Team Champion, JCW World Juggalo Heavyweight Champion, NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, IWGPジュニアヘビー級王座 & the longest reigning XPW World Heavyweight Champion Sabu passed away this morning at the age of 60 almost 3 weeks after his final match against former CZW Wired Television Champion, DDT極端な王座, 5-time アイアンマンヘビーメタル級王座, 2-time GCW World Champion, 2-time GCW World Tag Team Champion, GCW Extreme Champion & HoG Tag Team Champion Joey Janela at the Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) event Spring Break IX during WrestleMania XLI weekend in Las Vegas hours before John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to become a record-breaking 17-time WWE world champion surpassing Ric Flair. I should also mention Sabu has a song named after him on 4th Rope founder Westside Gunn’s sophomore effort Supreme Blientele. Wouldn’t surprise me to see the upcoming Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW) vs. GCW pay-per-view becoming dedicated to his memory this summer at the Gathering of Legends or the 25th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos. The Bombay, Michigan native has performed for the 大仁田 厚-founded フロンティア・マーシャルアーツ・レスリング (FMW), the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) now owned by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, the Endeavor-owned TKO Group Holdings division WWE, Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) formerly owned by WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman, the Ted Turner-founded World Championship Wrestling (WCW), 新日本プロレス (NJPW), Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), 全日本プロレス (AJPW), the Rob Black-owned Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW), the Insane Clown Posse-owned JCW, the WWE’s developmental brand NXT’s partner promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Major League Wrestling (MLW), the Lutteroth family-owned Consejo de Mundial Lucha Libre (CMLL), the Brett Lauderdale-owned GCW & the Tony Khan-owned All Elite Wrestling (AEW) who now owns Ring of Honor (ROH) Wrestling. Our hearts go out to his friends & colleagues at this time.
