1. Sabu Talks About His 1st WWF Tryout
During a recent appearance on Colt Cabana’s “Art of Wrestling” podcast, former ECW World Heavyweight Champion Sabu talked about his 1st tryout in the World Wrestling Federation. Below is what he said:
“When I first got into ECW, I had a trial with Vince after about 6 or 7 months with ECW..well, not Vince himself, J.J Dillon called on Vince’s behalf, and said that they wanted to come see me. I come in and Vince had offered me a job right there and I said no, because Paul E had some other balloon other dream that he was feeding me. This was around 1994, or 1995, around the Max Moon era. I said no in the dressing room even before I had a tryout. I wrestled Scott Taylor one day, and Owen Hart the next day and then Scott Taylor the next day. Right before the Owen Hart match, he had offered me a job and I said no, and I wrestled Owen, and they said that Vince wants you to stick around another day; I stuck around another day. I couldn’t do a table. Vince didn’t buy that, and I couldn’t use a chair, but I can do all of my out of the ring stuff and all of my crazy moves to Owen. Owen had understood them; Scott Taylor I had to do a basic match with because he didn’t quite understand them. I tried to explain a little bit, and then I would say stay or move. Vince tried to get me to explain my moves to him, and I didn’t want to. I wanted them to watch it and then they explained what they had seen. They wanted me to explain everything I do before I do it, but if I don’t do it the way I explained it, they think I messed it up or something, but they don’t realize that I don’t know what I am going to do before I do it–I don’t know. I know some of what I am going to do, an idea, but no idea how or when I’m going to do it; but obviously they were into it since they offered me the job, and I said no. Vince even said, how can you say no to us, we have been here for 30 years to go to a company that hasn’t even existed yet? He goes, we will be here when you get back–he was right!”
