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

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Terry "Sabu" Brunk, who competed in many memorable matches in TNA history including the iconic first ever Barbed Wire Massacre match against Abyss. We offer our sincere condolences to his friends and family. pic.twitter.com/hf5HYax6NI

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

I am sitting on a flight crying after hearing the news of Sabu’s passing. We had nothing in common and were complete opposites, but we were friends and brothers. He had a good heart, and will be missed. RIP Sabu

Heart broken hearing the news of Sabu passing away. He always treated me great and we shared some special moments in the ring. He made me laugh so many times over the last 20 years. Rest in Peace and God Speed Sabu.

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

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'll never forget November to Remember '96, lights go out, come back…

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 ????

I just heard that sabu passed away. He innovated and inspired ao much in wrestling over the last 30 years. He never got the credit he deserved and the million dollar contract based on his efforts in the ring. He helped put ecw on the map. Shy, yet funny guy if you got to know him

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! ☝️

— Veda Scott (@itsvedatime) May 11, 2025

I am really sorry to hear of the passing of one of the most innovating performers EVER, Sabu.
My condolences and prayers to his family, friends and fans.

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

did for so many others. Sabu was guarded, but once he got to know you and like you, he would great things for you. I'm glad I got to see him one last time last week. One last hug. Thank you Sabu. I love you Sabu. Rest in peace.
