10 Absolute Wrestling FREAKS! ?
9. Sabu
Sabu was never literally a "Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal" threat, but never before or since has a wrestler made it to the mainstream peak of the industry with qualities as tied to those descriptors.
He carried with him a uniquely specific energy that was too terrifying to be entirely fake. A freak in secret as much as he was in character, the human being behind the insane persona later revealed that he'd insert intentional botches into his matches just to keep everything on edge, atmosphere-wise. Unmotivated by that "working the sheets" attitude Vince Russo applied, Sabu wanted to fool even the smartest fans in the room, and the trick worked a treat.
Never lauded as the best ever, he was nonetheless impossible to avert your eyes away from, even if you were leaning in to take a look at how far he was missing things by. The sheer risk and agony he endured even falling flat on his face ultimately fed into the final result just as much as everything he hit with sweet (relative) slickness.
