Vince loved Sabu, and wanted to do a lot of things with him and his gimmick. Sabu was the best protected guy coming in, and you could tell they had plans for him. He was built as a major threat and had a competitive match with John Cena, took Rey Mysterio to a draw over the World Heavyweight Title, and was being groomed to be the top face of ECW while Punk was getting built up. Things went sour when he started acting like he usually does, falling asleep backstage, and just not having a good attitude about things and expecting so much so fast, but I guess that happens when you have the guy in charge creaming himself over almost everything you're doing and telling you about all the ideas he has.
