Stephanie McMahon asked Sabu to read a three-page script at a television taping before the pay-per-view in December 2006. The ECW legend tore up the script and walked away because he thought that was something his character would do.
Speaking in a Title Match Wrestling video, Sabu recalled how Stephanie McMahon wanted him to read the script again.
Sabu added that he could barely read the script, let alone memorize it. He was ultimately removed from the Elimination Chamber match on the day of the show and replaced by Hardcore Holly.
Stephanie McMahon thought Sabu was uncooperative
Bobby Lashley defeated The Big Show, Test, Rob Van Dam, Hardcore Holly and CM Punk to win the ECW World Championship at December to Dismember.
Although Stephanie McMahon removed him from the match, the ECW legend noted that some fans still believe he decided to no-show the event.
WWE announced during December to Dismember that Sabu could not compete due to an injury he suffered backstage. The injury footage was filmed a week before the event, but Sabu did not realize at the time that it would be used to write him out of the match.
What did you think about Sabu’s run in WWE? Sound off below.
