During a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray praised the late ECW legend Sabu for his innovative wrestling style and credited him with making tables popular in the sport.
Sabu recently passed away at the age of 60.
Ray said, “I had said from day one — and I had mentioned yesterday on social media — when it has come to tables, myself and D-Von did not invent using tables. The guy that made tables famous is Sabu. In 1993, I was wrestling my second or third match at a hotel in New York, at a hotel ballroom, and some guy named Sabu was in the main event, and I don’t remember the finish of the match, I was all the way at the back of the ballroom watching, but I remember this guy going to the top rope and doing a moonsault after the match was over through a table. Sabu is the guy … yes, we talk about Terry Funk and Ric Flair and the piledriver, but Sabu is the guy who truly introduced the use of tables into pro wrestling.”
