Sami Zayn Pushed for Sabu’s WWE Hall of Fame Induction Before His Passing

Sami Zayn had been pushing for Sabu’s Hall of Fame induction well before the ECW legend’s passing. In a tweet from 2022, Zayn made it clear that he believed Sabu deserved to be honored, writing, “Sabu should be in the Hall of Fame.”

After news of Sabu’s death broke, Zayn revisited that sentiment by quote-tweeting his original post. This time, Zayn added more context, saying, “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.”

Sabu’s final match took place earlier this year, marking the end of a career that spanned decades. Despite his legendary status, Sabu was never inducted into a major wrestling Hall of Fame. His career included memorable runs in ECW, WWE, and TNA, where he became known for his high-risk, no-holds-barred approach to wrestling. Sabu’s willingness to sacrifice his body in the ring made him a beloved figure among hardcore wrestling fans, but he also struggled with injuries and backstage politics throughout his career.

Now, with Zayn renewing his call for Sabu’s Hall of Fame induction, the conversation has gained new momentum. For Zayn, the timing of Sabu’s passing only underscores the urgency of honoring the ECW icon’s contributions to the business.

Will Sabu finally get the Hall of Fame recognition that Sami Zayn and others believe he deserves? Or will his legacy remain outside the spotlight, despite his influence on the wrestling world? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
