Multiple sources including Mike Johnson of PWInsider and Sports Illustrated are reporting that Terry Brunk, better known to the wrestling world as Sabu, has passed away at 60 years old.

My condolences to all of his many fans around the world, myself included, as well as all of his family and friends.
