Following Sabu's passing, AEW's Taz reflects on their ECW rivalry, from feeling jealous when Sabu left for Japan to witnessing his electric return.

Sabu died at the age of 60 in May 2025. We’re looking back at the late wrestler’s career with the WWE and ECW.

The ECW icon Sabu has passed away at the age of 60, as multiple outlets confirmed Sunday morning. "The Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal, Death-Defying Maniac" had his last match just a few weeks ago against Joey Janela at a GCW event during WrestleMania week.

Recalling his level of chemistry with Sabu in the ring, former ECW star The Sandman contrasted their style with a certain type of match that's common in AEW.
