ECW legend Sabu didnt hold back when comparing Paul Heyman and Vince McMahons creative minds.
During a recent interview with DonutShopChronicles365 on YouTube, Sabu reflected on his time under Heymans leadership in the original ECW and his brief stint in WWEs version of the brand in 2006, offering his take on who he thinks stands out as a true visionary.
Hes good to work for, sort of. Work with, not work for. Hes great to work with. Hes a genius and has the best mind in the business than anybody, Sabu said about Heyman. He had a better mind than Vince.
Sabu didnt shy away from addressing the financial struggles that plagued ECW in the 1990s, which often left talent unpaid. But for the hardcore icon, those issues no longer cast a shadow over his respect for Heyman. When I wrestled for him, he didnt have the money to pay us. I dont hold that against him no more. If he had the money to pay us back then, he wouldve.
Sabus comments come as a nod to Heymans lasting influence on the wrestling industry, despite ECWs turbulent history. While Vince McMahon is often credited for turning WWE into a global powerhouse, Sabu clearly believes Heymans creative brilliance is unmatched.
