A Sabu fan honored the late ECW legend with an extreme head tattoo.
Steve Stasiak of Book Pro Wrestlers took to X/Twitter and Facebook to share a photo and story about their follower, Rob Woodall, who has been a big fan of the late hardcore wrestling legend Sabu since the ECW days. The fan had the phrase “HOMICIDAL. SUICIDAL. GENOCIDAL. SABU.” tattooed across the back of his head in red, bloody-style lettering as a tribute after the legend’s death at age 61 on May 11, 2025.
Stasiak noted that Woodall felt compelled to honor the ECW legend in the most extreme way following his passing.
The fan went extreme to honor Sabu
“When Sabu passed away, our reader Rob Woodall decided he didn’t want an ordinary memorial tattoo. Already sporting ECW ink on the side of his head, he made the decision to honor one of his all-time favorite wrestlers in the most extreme way he could think of. The result is impossible to ignore: ‘Homicidal. Suicidal. Genocidal. Sabu.’ tattooed across the back of his head in tribute to the man who built his legend by pushing every limit imaginable.
“Rob told us that Sabu had been his favorite wrestler from ECW for years and that after his passing, he felt compelled to do something unforgettable. In his words: ‘If I’m going to get a Sabu tattoo, might as well go extreme.’ He even says he hopes to eventually have his entire head tattooed.
“Whether you’d ever make the same choice or not, there’s no questioning the passion behind it. Wrestling has always inspired a level of loyalty that’s hard to explain to outsiders, and this is one fan’s permanent way of saying thank you to a performer who left a lasting mark on his life.
Thank you to Rob for sharing the story behind the tattoo with us,” the post read.
