WWE and ECW icon Sabu dies aged 60 just weeks after retirement match
The icon has died just three weeks after his retirement match
Sabu, real name Terry Brunk, has sadly died at the age of 60.
His final match took place in Las Vegas last month on April 18, during Wrestlemania, where he defeated Joel Janela.
His final public appearance is thought to have been at the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance reunion show convention, which took place just last weekend.
He was considered one of the most creative performers of his era and was a three-time World Heavyweight Champion.
It was confirmed that the icon had passed, but with little information about his cause of death.
Fans and friends of the wrestling legend have already begun to pay their respects.
Fellow WWE wrestler Francine paid tribute to the star on X: ‘My heart is broken. Rest in peace to my friend Sabu. I love you always.’
