2. Sabu – Needs Hip Surgery
In an industry where even the safest performers can end up in the hospital in seconds due to a badly timed move, earning a reputation as “homicidal, genocidal, and suicidal” sounds like a surefire way towards an outrageous health care bill. Unsurprisingly, Sabu, the superstar who earned those adjectives through his long tenures in FMW and ECW, not to mention shorter stays in WCW and WWE, found himself in that exact scenario when he recently discovered his years of putting his body on the line meant he desperately needed hip surgery in order to get a full night’s sleep without searing pain.
In addition to being one of the most dangerous and death-defying wrestlers in modern history, Sabu has always been a man of few words, and therefore he needed some convincing before asking fans for help. One of Sabu’s most noteworthy accomplishments came when he won the ECW Tag Team Championships with Rob Van Dam, who remains one of his closest friends in life.
Despite Sabu’s insistence on dealing with his issues by himself, RVD took to the Internet and creating a GoFundMe for his friend anyway, which as of this writing is still significantly short of reaching it’s goal.
