One question that wrestling fans often ask Sabu why he never joined WWE on his prime. Recently he featured as a guest on Xtreme Memories where he revealed the reason;

“Well my uncle said to me, if you’re not going to be proud of yourself, don’t do it. I knew I wouldn’t have been proud of myself. They wanted the Iron Sheik to be my uncle. They wanted me to change my look a little bit to make it their look. I would have been a totally different character. I would have made a lot of money maybe but I wasn’t looking for money at the time.”

He also spoke on his scheduled deathmatch with Atushi Onita that was eventually canceled:

“I’m sure we would have had a stellar match. Me and Onita had good chemistry together and I was begging for a match like that.”
