Back in the WrestleCircus days, I cosplayed Sabu. Wrestling as him was such a blast.
We were on so many shows together. Always quiet and nice to me. Looking through my photos, it appears we never got one together or that I can find..

I first met Sabu at a Dennis Coralluzzo convention in Bensalem, Pa in 93. A year later I’m catching him at Al Snow ‘s Bodyslammers Gym in Lima, Ohio. He went on to book me for his shows in Michigan. He was one of the 1st to give me an opportunity. He did so much for me like he… pic.twitter.com/cpcoNfLE0j

This is a gut punch. I was pushing this agenda again a few weeks ago after Sabu had his final match.
RIP Sabu. One of a kind, absolute legend, and a true game changer for professional wrestling. https://t.co/wVgZ4ao42k

RIP Sabu
Sabu was a trailblazing groundbreaker who played a major role in the expansion of what a pro wrestling match could be. The fact that tables are commonly utilized in pro wrestling is because of Terry Brunk & how he made an inanimate object like a table a must see… pic.twitter.com/5WbvnMTs8j

Sabu, you were the most unlikely friend I ever made in the wrestling business. I’m gonna miss our random texts checking in on each other. I’m sorry I bugged you for so many autographs over the years, but I certainly don’t regret it. I’ll cherish them & our friendship forever. I… pic.twitter.com/FT3uoCtAlO

A brotherhood and bond that very few in our business will ever understand.
And tomorrow on @BustedOpenRadio we will pay respect to one of our own.
RIP Sabu and THANK YOU for being the pioneer and originator of getting the tables!! pic.twitter.com/uV5EFkvip2

I am truly saddened to learn of the passing of Terry Brunk, who many of us knew and admired as Sabu. His contributions to the world of professional wrestling were nothing short of legendary.

There is so much “SABU” IN the “CROWBAR” character. We never hung out, but the love, respect and kinship we had was special. He MADE ME when he could have squashed me. His style inspired me like countless others, it was always great and special to see thus guy. This one hits… pic.twitter.com/bmWgNHE6Uk

I wrestled Sabu in 2019 a few months after he had a hip replacement. He springboard tornado ddt’d me out of my boots.
It was wild!
Then he wanted to stab me with a spike for a bit but we figured it out.
RIP Sabu

Just heard the news about Sabu. My heart is heavy. Sabu was the first “independent wrestler” I discovered through reading PWI Magazines as a kid. Was completely enamored with what I was looking at on a monthly basis.
Last year he paid us a visit while we were in Vegas and we… pic.twitter.com/dmFi2iTG2d

RIP Sabu. Godspeed my friend. I’ll have a lot more to share, but right now I’m just very sad and heartbroken to hear this news about my friend, and about a man who literally changed the presentation of professional wrestling.

Sending all of my love to the friends, family, and fans of Sabu.
Sabu was one of my favorite wrestler’s growing up with access to the internet and the implementation of streaming services with ECW available.

I’m just seeing the news now and do not know what happened but kind of shocking. He was one of the regular faces I always saw making my way through the indies and was always kind and respectful. Thank you and RIP Sabu 🙏🏼❤️❤️

Sabu was absolutely a renegade in the best way and inspired many in his style and attitude. A real legend 🙏

As a Philly wrestling fan, I witnessed Sabu live and in person so many times over the decades and it never got old. Coolest wrestler ever. Forever a legend! ☝️
