Talking is something Sabu didn't do in the past, but seeing how he's 42 years old and this is probably his last big run, it made sense to have Sabu finally speak for himself cause well, he's NEVER done it. The crazy part is that Sabu would never break kayfabe back in the day. He wouldn't talk to people on planes, at hotels, restaurants.
After the barbed wire match against Terry Funk in ECW, when they were all tangled up in the wire and people came down to cut them out, you can hear Bill Alphonso ask Sabu if he's alright(legit) while the camera is pointed right at him. Sabu, never wanting to break character, pushes the camera away so you can't see him when he says yeah I'm fine. Then he says something about the camera, and the cameraman takes a step back and focuses on Funk instead. That was the only time I remember hearing Sabu actually speak a sentence(Sabu was always known to yell out gibberish in the ring).
