Above is video of Rob Van Dam asking wrestling fans to help pay for hip surgery for fellow-ECW Original Sabu.
Sabu has been dealing with the hip issues for a few years now, but also has back & shoulder problems. The hip issues are affecting his sleep and walking as he now has a visible limp. He still works indies and is planning on making a full return to the ring once he recovers from surgery.
RVD mentions that Sabu was against asking fans for help and that surgery was a last resort for him, but RVD and some of Sabu’s closest friends created the GoFundMe page anyway. They have a goal of $50,000 and as of this writing, 55 people have raised $1,548.
