57-year-old wants to face Brock Lesnar in a retirement match

Sabu believes his chances of facing Brock Lesnar are slim, but he would still love to test himself against the WWE star.

The ECW legend, 57, retired from in-ring competition in 2021 due to a back injury. However, he is prepared to reverse his decision if a match against The Beast Incarnate becomes a possibility.

Speaking in a Title Match Wrestling interview, he explained why he views Lesnar as the perfect opponent for his final match.

“My dream opponent for my retirement match would be Brock Lesnar,” Sabu said. “It’ll never happen, but I like Brock, I love Brock. I don’t even know him, but I like his work. I like what he does. He doesn’t do anything I do. Everything he does, I don’t do, and that’s what I wanna do. I wanna wrestle somebody who don’t do my s**t.” [0:35-0:52]

Sabu made his name in ECW before working for WWE in 2006 and 2007. The high-flyer is widely viewed as one of the most innovative wrestlers of his generation.
