A former WWE Superstar recently questioned a legend's inclusion into the Hall of Fame. Sabu, who is one of the ECW Originals, was not fond of Drew Carey's induction back in 2011.

Carey, one of the greatest game show hosts in television history, was inducted into the celebrity wing of the Hall of Fame in 2011. He was the first actor to participate in a Royal Rumble match 10 years earlier. Drew eliminated himself after failing to bribe Kane.

Speaking to DonutShopChronicles365 on YouTube, Sabu was asked about his thoughts on entering the Hall of Fame. He's not hoping for an induction since he didn't do enough in WWE, while also calling out the company's decision to include a celebrity like Drew Carey:

"I don’t know. Probably never, really. I’m not eligible for the WWE Hall of Fame, not that I want to be anyway, because I didn’t have a Hall of Fame career while I was there. Another Hall of Fame, who knows. ... Rob Van Dam is Hall of Fame material too, but is Drew Carey? Is Drew Carey Hall of Fame material? He goes in it, that means it’s going to be bullsh*t. If he’s in it, it’s bullsh*t," Sabu said. [H/T: Fightful]

Sabu has not shied away from criticizing the WWE Hall of Fame, pointing out the lack of its physical location. He had two short stints with the company in 1993, and from 2006 to 2007. He made his name in ECW, wherein he was a two-time World Champion.


Sabu praises WWE Hall of Famer for being smarter than Vince McMahon

There's no doubt that Vince McMahon is one of the smartest minds in wrestling history despite his controversial exit from WWE. However, Sabu believes that former ECW promoter Paul Heyman was smarter thant the former chairman:

"He’s good to work for, sort of. Work with, not work for. He's great to work with. He's a genius and has the best mind in the business than anybody. He had a better mind than Vince. When I wrestled for him, he didn't have the money to pay us. I don’t hold that against him no more. He didn't have it," Sabu said in the video above. [H/T WrestleZone]

Some consider Heyman the greatest manager in wrestling history, while McMahon put wrestling on the map, making it a mainstream media attraction.
