Tons of retro Sabu questions

[LucharesuFan619 0]

I'm doing a big project about Sabu's career and am in the midst of research. The following questions I am unable to find answers to, so I figured I'd ask if anyone here can help. Sorry the list of q's is so long, but I figure it might as well throw out all the ones I have and if anyone can help, feel free to post what you know.

 

I'm hoping nobody flames me to just buy the tapes and find out for myself. That's not always easy when the matches I ask questions about below are all found on 100 different tapes and money isn't exactly flowing forth freely for me to spend.

 

So, absolutely any and all help would be appreciated. So, I guess just scroll through and if anything catches your eye that you can provide insight on, post it. Even if you only know like half a question, that'd be great. You could also PM me answers if you'd prefer. Thanks in advance for any help I get.

 

 

 

Did Sabu and Benoit have any other matches in the US besides their ECW matches and their 2/19/94 NWA match in Woodbury, NJ?

 

Did Sabu appear at any of the JCW StrangleMania Tour 2000 and 2001 shows? I know he did the 2002 and 2003 events, but about the 2000 and 2001?

 

For what promotion was his 10/10/93 match vs. Jerry Lynn?

 

Who won his Big Japan debut vs. Jason Knight?

 

Who won his Sabu’s Michinoku Pro match vs. Terry Boy and his Michinoku Pro match vs. Jerry Lynn?

 

Who won the NWC Lumberjack Match between Sabu and Cactus?

 

Who won his 10/8/94 NWC match vs. Bob Bradley?

 

Any promotion, date, location, or result other info for his match vs. Madman Pondo (he’s only worked Pondo once, right?)?

 

Does anywhere on the Internet have archived NWC results from Las Vegas?

 

Where can I find a Title History of the NWC Heavyweight Title?

 

What was the date, promotion, and/or result of his match vs. Adam Gooch that was supposedly in front of 8,000 people?

 

Anyone have dates, results, or any other info for his 1995 NWC title defenses vs. Cactus Jack in a Desert Death Match and vs. Cactus in a Weapons Cage Match?

 

Who won the AAA (and it was a AAA match, wasn’t it? Or not?) six-man in ’95 between Sabu, Psichosis, & Damian 666 and Rey Mysterio Jr., Halloween, & Starman? Does anyone know who pinned who?

 

Who won the 5/15/94 Oriental Death Match between Funk and Sabu?

 

Who won the 10/28/95 Woodbury, NJ classic between Sabu and Devon Storm?

 

Who won the 1/29/94 NWA match between Ray Odyssey and Sabu?

 

Who won the 4/8/94 Ohio showdown between Al Snow and Sabu? (this was the night before the epic Funk/Snow/Sabu match, if that helps)

 

Who won the 6/29/96 Tokyo Pro match between Sabu and Scorpio? Who won their 8/25/96 Tokyo Pro match (in this one, Sheik accompanied Sabu)?

 

What was the result of his 3/29/97 match in California vs. Dan Severn?

 

Who won the 6/3/94 match between Sabu and Scorpio, and what promotion was the match for?

 

Who won the 11/6/93 ACW match between Funk and Sabu (their first one-on-one match ever)?

 

Who won the 11/14/92 WWA Jr. Title Wayne, NJ classic between Sabu and Candido?

 

Who won the 2/28/94 New York City match between Sabu and Funk for the World Wrestling Network?

 

For anyone who has the 1991 MEMPHIS YEARBOOK tape, who wins the Sabu vs. Robert Fuller match in USWA?

 

For what promotion was his 9/27/02 Steel Cage Match in Michigan vs. Sandman and who won?

 

Any info whatsoever about an old tag match between Sabu & Mohammed and Al Snow & Mike Kelley?

 

Who else did Sabu work in Tokyo Pro besides Scorpio and Abby – anybody?

 

Do I have the date of 7/19/03 right for Sabu’s AWWL match vs. Devon Storm where Kevin Sullivan and Balls Mahoney got involved?

 

Do I have the date of the next night, 7/20/03, for Sabu’s AWWL match vs. Balls Mahoney where Mr. Hughes got involved right?

 

Did Sabu ever work Konnan one-on-one besides at the John Arezzi ’93 show and the 2002 MXPW match they had?

 

Anyone know the date – or even the year – of Sabu’s match with Kama (Charles Wright/The Godfather)? I know the result and all, but that’s it.

 

Were his overseas matches vs. Ulf Herman and his tag with RVD vs. Ulf Herman & Michael Kovac the same night or different nights? If they were different nights, what was the date of each and if they were the same night, what was the date?

 

I’m also searching for any dates or info on Sabu’s matches with Aquarius (masked Tajiri) in Japan.

 

Need dates, hell…even just years, for the following matches:

 

WWC vs. Don Kent

WWC vs. TNT (a.k.a. Greg Bownds of the AWF),

KCW vs. Dave the Rave

KCW vs. Flash Flanagan

KCW: w/ RVD vs. Tommy Dreamer & Mike Samples

 

Is it true that Sabu worked Liger on 7/23/95? If so, who won and what promotion was it (NJ, I'd assume?)?

 

I have conflicting info for Sabu's role on 11/18/95. I've found results to an ECW show at Viking Hall where he supposedly defeated Hack Myers, but then I'm finding tapes that list a match in Camden, NJ vs. Hakushi that same day. Does anyone know if he worked twice in that day or if one of those matches was on a different date (and if so, what date)? And also, who won the Sabu vs. Hakushi match, regardless of when it took place?

 

Has anyone seen any of Sabu/RVD's NEWF matches and if so, what the outcomes were to any you've seen (if possible, let me know the name of the tape it's on)?

 

Who won Sabu's 6/4/96 BJPW match vs. Kendo Nagasaki?

 

Who won the final round of the April '94 GWA Bodyslammers Tournament in Ohio between Sabu and Al Snow? This was the show where Sabu went through Otis Apollo, Shinobi (Snow under a mask), and Randy Mullins to get to the final round.

 

Found some obscure FMW matches vs. Tarzan Goto (No-Rope Barbed-Wire; 2/21/93) and vs. Dark Ranger (1/5/94). Anyone know who won either of those matches (I'm assuming Sabu beat DR because I've never heard've the guy, but if someone can confirm that that'd be great.)?

 

Sabu did a doubleheader for NWA New Jersey in August 2000. Both nights he worked three-ways with Candido and Devon Storm. Anyone know who won either of those matches?

 

And I'm looking for results to any of these matches, listed at Smart Mark Video:

 

Asylum Championship Wrestling (11/23/01; Johnstown, PA): (accompanied by Bill Alfonso) vs. “Maniac” Matt Borne (semi-ME)

 

IWF (11/25/01; Dearborn, MI): vs. Corporal Robinson

 

Southeast Championship Wrestling (12/15/01; Lexington, KY): Hardcore Match vs. Corporal Punishment (semi-ME)

 

IWF (12/28/01; Michigan): vs. Corporal Robinson for the vacant IWF Heavyweight Title (Steel Cage Match)

 

Sabu did a match with a guy called Juggernaut on April 25 in Canada for No Holds Barred Wrestling, but I'm not sure if it was 2000, 2001, or 2002. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Looking for info on any and all of Sabu's UCW Heavyweight Title defenses in 2000 (UCW = Canadian Promotion)?

[Guest jm29195]

I can help you with one of those....

 

Were his overseas matches vs. Ulf Herman and his tag with RVD vs. Ulf Herman & Michael Kovac the same night or different nights? If they were different nights, what was the date of each and if they were the same night, what was the date?

 

 

They were both on the same night, the plan was to have a tournament for the British Junior Heavyweight Championship (formerly part of the J-Crown). Sabu (also European Junior Heavyweight champ at the time)beat Hermann and RVD beat Kovac in the first round, and then they were supposed to fight each other in the semi finals- but then it was announced that Bill Alfonso had vetoed the match. This led to Sabu vacating his championship and the other 2 semi finalists fighting for both of afterforementioned belts (Dirtbike Kid beat Mikey Whipwreck).

After this match Sabu and RVD came out and attacked both of them and then were in turn attacked by Kovac and Hermann, leading to an impromptu tag match.

Sabu and RVD won this one following their double top rope legdro/Frogsplash combo...

 

If you want more info I can email you a review with photos and a promotional poster for the event, it was The European Wrestling Association presents St Valentines Day Massacre on Saturday, February 14th 1998, from Walthamstow Town Hall....

 

Hope this has been of help!

Well, I'm not sure about the Camden show, but I know the ECW show where he wrestled Hack Myers was November to Remember, and it was definitely 11/18/95. That was the show where he returned to ECW, by the way.

jm, you helped a ton. I don't need anything as far as promotional posters or reviews. All the info you gave - that they happened the same night, the name of the show, and the result is what I need. Thanks a ton!

 

SJK, now I realize something - in the Sabu shoot interview by RF Video, he says he worked for John Carluzzo in the afternoon and then returned to ECW that night. So the Camden, NJ match with Hakushi must've been the Carluzzo show. I should've realized that before. Thanks.

[LucharesuFan619 0]

Actually I do have another question jk - I thought Sabu also wrestled Ulf Herman one-on-one on the tour. Is that right? If so, do you have the date, match result, location, etc.? Also, who pinned who in the Sabu/RVD vs. Kovac/Herman tag match? Thanks a ton so far.

 

Also, do you know anything about an IWW Clash of Nations card around the same time, that featured Sabu and I believe RVD, too? Is that where he fought Herman? I keep finding that the EWA and IWW shows occurred on the same night. I'm so confused...

[Guest jm29195]

Yep I forgot to include that, it was a one night tournament on February 14th, Sabu faced Ulf Hermann in singles on that night with an Atomic Arabian Facebuster in a quarter finals match for the Britsh Junior Heavyweight title...

 

The original RVD/Sabu match was hanged due to Sabu's limited capabilities after he suffered a broken jaw in the Houseparty match with Sabu earlier that year, he worked both events with a taped up jaw...

 

Sabu pinned Kovac in the tag match...

 

 

The only other result I can find from that particular IWW tour is from Hannover, Germany on the 15th of February, where Kovac/Hermann beat RVD/Sabu by dq after RVD and Sabu put them through tables and just generally destroyed them in a chaotic brawl....

[LucharesuFan619 0]

OK, thanks a bunch. Do you know the name of the venue for the 2/15 show, by chance?

[LucharesuFan619 0]

Thank you very much. I have most of those, but a couple I didn't so they were helpful. As far as the Impact results go, are the dates you provided the dates that the matches were taped or the dates that they aired?

[IWD 0]

I believe they are the broadcast dates. Try checking Wrestling Information Archive (http://www.100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling/wiamain.htm). They have the Impact results in there.

 

Cheers.
