Hardcore Heaven: Top 7 greatest hardcore legends of all-time

#3 Sabu

The ORIGINAL 'high-flyer.

Okay, with our number 3 pick, we have yet another ECW Orginal in Sabu. Sabu was originally trained by his uncle, The original Shiek. With The Shiek being his uncle, it only makes sense that Sabu would eventually follow in his unorthodox ways.

After extensive martial arts training, Sabu then made his way to the unfriendly confines of the sweat-box at the corner of Swanson and Ritner, better known as the ECW Arena.

Sabu quickly gained a ton of attention for his unbelievable high-flying, risk-taking antics. He was taking risks that no one else in the industry would even dare to attempt. Sabu eventually became known as the "homicidal, suicidal, genocidal, death-defying man." This was a unique nickname that would fit him perfectly.

Even today, at 53 years young, Sabu is still getting booked on a regular basis, by independent promotions all around the world. While father-time has possibly slowed Sabu down a bit, he is still worth every dime you may invest in a ticket to see him perform.
