The wrestling community has rallied around Sabus family in a big way, as the GoFundMe set up to cover funeral expenses for the late ECW legend has already blown past its original $25,000 goal. As of Saturday morning, May 17, 2025, the campaign has raised $47,759 through 262 donations nearly doubling the target.
The biggest contribution came from Scott DAmore, the former TNA executive and current owner of Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling. DAmore donated a whopping $15,932, a gesture that has caught the attention of fans and wrestlers alike. Other significant donations include:
- Anonymous $10,000
- Chris Jericho $5,000
- Ryan Barkan $2,000
- Joseph Janela $1,600
RVD initially announced the fundraiser during his 1 Of A Kind podcast, urging fans to come together to honor Sabus legacy and support his family during this difficult time. The GoFundMe page includes a heartfelt statement from Sabus family, reflecting on his influence both inside and outside the ring.
Sabus impact as a hardcore wrestling pioneer has clearly not been forgotten, with donations pouring in from fans, friends, and industry veterans.
