Mick Foley tells the story of when he made Sabu ‘cry’ in the ring

Posted: Jun 3rd 2026 By: Jake Skudder

WWE Hall of Famer and new AEW on-screen personality Mick Foley recently discussed his history in hardcore wrestling. Speaking on Something To Wrestle With, Foley recalled the time that he made Sabu ‘cry’ from a chairshot.

“I’ve seen Sabu get what would have been 100 stitches for anyone else [during matches]. But he’s super glus it, and instead of stopping the match, he just comes back out. It’s one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen, his genie pants are torn to shreds.

“But I remember hitting him [with a chair], and Sabu had tears coming down his eyes. And he goes, ‘am I bleeding? Am I bleeding?’ He did a moonsault and overshot me, he just flew over my head and impaled himself in the guardrail. And he was just going, ‘give me time, give me time, give me time.’ And then he came back [like nothing happened]. So we’re talking about a tough dude…and I kind of brought him to tears.“

Foley didn’t confirm which match this happened in, but it was likely in ECW.
