Sabu had a simple explanation for why he no-showed the 2024 Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame ceremony: he changed his mind about going.
The ECW icon was supposed to be inducted into the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame on Sunday. But despite being in the hotel where the ceremony was taking place, Sabu did not attend. GCW promoter Brett Lauderdale tweeted that, “in the true spirit of independent wrestling,” Sabu decided to keep his deposit and no-show the booking.
Sabu was at WrestleCon while the induction ceremony was taking place. Both events were held at the Sheraton hotel in downtown Philadelphia.
In a social media post on Wednesday night, Sabu addressed why he didn’t appear at the ceremony: “i changed my mind.”
Lauderdale responded to the explanation and said he has no hard feelings toward Sabu.
“Just for the record, I have no hard feelings towards Sabu and still have nothing but respect for him as a person and especially as a performer,” Lauderdale wrote. “The sacrifices he made changed the game (pardon the pun) and many of my favorite memories as a fan are centered around his work.”
The Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame is presented by GCW and Orange Crush magazine. The ceremony takes place annually during WrestleMania weekend.
The 2024 class also included The Briscoes (Jay & Mark Briscoe), Trent Acid, Steve Corino, Mercedes Martinez, Eddie Gilbert, and indie superfan Kevin “Whack Packer” Hogan.
