The Homicidal, Genocidal, Suicidal, Death-Defying Maniac Sabu was a hardcore icon in Philidelphia based company Extreme Championship Wrestling ECW. In ECW Sabu enjoyed huge success both as a Tag Team competitor with Rob Van Dam and as a singles competitor competing in such infamous matches as the Barbed Wire match against Terry Funk in which Sabu tore his bicep off the bone and taped it back on to carry on with the match.

Trained by his uncle the Original Sheik, Sabu fused his Hardcore and High-Flying style to huge succes, becoming a mainstay in ECW and TNA.

When WWE brought back ECW Sabu was first on the list to hire. Having previously competed at the One Night Stand series of PPVs, Sabu was well like by Vince McMahon for his "wildman" attitude. Sabu and RVD again enjoyed success in the bigger bingo halls the new ECW had to offer. Sabu earnt a title shot a Summerslam against the then champion Big Show, however he was defeated by the giant.

Sabu would continue to wrestle in the new ECW but things went sour when he was caught in possession of illegal substances by the police in a road stop. Rob Van Dam was also caught and was therefore pushed down the card and suspended. Sabu however did not recieve as harsh of a punishment, but missed the ECW December to Dismemeber PPV.

Eventually Sabu was released from his contract and has gone on to wrestle on the independant scene. However it has been brought to attention Sabu's need for surgery and that his wrestling days may be over. Will we ever see the Homicidal, Genocidal, Suicidal, Death-Defying Maniac in a WWE ring again? Unlikely, but will we ever forget him? no way.
