Sabu Says ECW Matches Weren't Good and Paul Heyman Tried to Sue Him

ECW legend Sabu recently appeared on WrestleTalkTV to give a shoot interview on the end of ECW. Below are highlights of the conversation from the video.

He noted he feels most ECW matches were not good, but very graphic, which helped aid its popularity:

“We were doing everything you weren’t supposed to. We were swearing, we were using objects in every match, we were bleeding on TV, getting each other pregnant. Not me of course, but other people who had stupid angles. When they started doing the pregnant angles, I was so embarrassed. But anyways. They had so many angles that were so far-fetched and outrageous. Then the matches were outrageous. Bloody and gory. They weren’t good matches, they were just good beatings.”

He said current advocate for Brock Lesnar and former ECW head Paul Heyman tried to sue him for departing the company:

“Paul Heyman tried to sue me and said that it was because of me, because when I quit the company and got fired, either way you want to say it, he tried to sue me because of me leaving the company, it hurt the company so bad that it went out of business. Which I believe, but it was going out of business anyway. I wasn’t getting paid, neither was anyone else, but I wasn’t getting paid the most. I was making more money than anybody else, but than I wasn’t because I wasn’t getting paid the most.”

Sabu also said he didn’t realize he was not getting paid for some time:

“It’s hard to have wind in your sail when you’re not getting paid. I still did, I wrestled every night like I was making a million dollars every night, but I wasn’t. I went months and months without getting paid and didn’t notice it until my bank account was gone and I realized I didn’t get paid. I had stacks of checks that were hundreds of thousands of dollars that were no good.”
