Sabus time in WCW was short-lived, and Eric Bischoff finally revealed the real reason behind it. Although the extreme wrestler made a splash in 1995 by appearing on Monday Nitro, his run didnt last longand Bischoff admitted the lack of trust was the breaking point.
When asked why Sabu didnt stick around despite being featured early on during his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff was upfront that the decision wasnt really his, and that he wasnt comfortable bringing Sabu into the mix from the start.
Bischoff also addressed what happened with Sabus contract situation. Reports have long suggested that the ECW star was offered a per-appearance deal that didnt meet his expectations, and Bischoff confirmed that lines up with what he remembers.
In the end, Sabus WCW run ended not because of his talent, but because Bischoff didnt trust him and the company wasnt willing to pay him what he felt he deserved. While ECW and later WWE showcased Sabus chaotic style, WCW never gave him that chanceand his brief Nitro appearance remains a what if moment in wrestling history.
