Francine Raises Serious Concerns About Sabu’s Final Match and Alleged Opioid Use

Francine is speaking out about Sabu’s last match against Joey Janela at GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break 9, and she isn’t holding back.

During her latest podcast episode, Francine addressed disturbing allegations that Sabu was given a legal opioid-like substance to get through the brutal No Rope Barbed Wire match, despite being unable to walk earlier in the day.

“I have a bit of a problem with that because if the man cannot walk and his knees are messed up and his feet are bleeding, was he forced into doing this? That’s something we’ll never know,” Francine said.

Francine went on to question why Sabu was allowed to compete in such a physical match while allegedly in such a poor condition. “Reading that one paragraph is disturbing because like, why would you force somebody to wrestle if they’re not in the right state to do so? Or if they’re so messed up on drugs or a substance, or if they’re bleeding, their feet are bleeding, their knees are so locked that they can’t walk. That’s… that’s incredible,” she added.

Expressing her frustration, Francine questioned the priorities behind the decision. “I don’t get why you would force somebody to perform. I understand it’s the biggest show of the weekend and you want it to go well, but isn’t somebody’s health more important?”

Francine, who considered Sabu a close friend and brother, struggled to contain her emotions as she reflected on his passing. “This whole thing makes me very, very upset. And you know, maybe that match had nothing to do with him dying. I guess we’ll never know. But it sickens me because I lost a friend and a brother and I’m just devastated,” she said.

Sabu’s match against Janela was already surrounded by controversy, but Francine’s comments bring a new layer of concern to the situation.
