ECW legend Sabu recently passed away at the age of 60. Soon after, a WWE personality sent a heartfelt tribute on social media. This was Tyson Kidd, a former superstar and now a WWE producer backstage.

Sabu is a legend in the world of professional wrestling, who made a mark for himself in ECW. He was known for his fearlessness in the ring, evident from the death-defying stunts he performed without any fear in and outside the ring. The hardcore legend was involved in some of the most brutal matches over the years. He last competed against Joey Janela in his retirement match just last month.

Yesterday, the wrestling world was saddened to learn about the hardcore legend's passing. This prompted a message from the retired WWE Superstar. Kidd sent a heartfelt message to the ECW legend after his passing. He also recalled how the wrestling icon was kind to him in their previous meetings.

"Really sad to hear about the passing of Sabu. One of the most unique and innovative talents ever. I remember being really excited to watch a dark match Owen had on tape vs. Sabu. He was always very kind to me personally. RIP 🙏."

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
