Summary

Today's special TMPT Feature Episode #12 welcomes in ECW Original, the Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal...Sabu. Sabu sits down for a very rare interview to tell us all about his book Scars, Silence, & Superglue and discusses putting together this long-awaited autobiography and how his actions always spoke louder than his words. From his days training with his Uncle, "The Sheik", through his big break in Japan it was Sabu who innovated the never before seen hardcore imagery that penetrated the wrestling business in the mid 90s. But it wasn't until the connection with then Tod Gordon's ECW that would catapult Sabu into the ICON status. Take a seat in some barbed wire and sit back as you are about to be face-bustered by the one and only SABU.
