Terry Michael Brunk (born December 12, 1964) is an American professional wrestler, known by his ring name Sabu, who portrays an Arab American in the ring. He is well known for his extreme wrestling style. Brunk has most notably competed in Extreme Championship Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment's ECW brand. He is currently the X-LAW International Champion and is employed by Juggalo Championship Wrestling. Brunk is a two-time world heavyweight champion, having held the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship once each.
Brunk was trained by his uncle, Ed Farhat (The Sheik), and was initially trained to be a technical wrestler. He began his wrestling career in 1985 in the Sheik's promotion, Big Time Wrestling, and was billed as being from Saudi Arabia under the ring name "Sabu the Elephant Boy" (use of "The Elephant Boy" was dropped in his later days), as well as Terry S.R (the S.R. standing for Sheik's Revenge). During the 1980s he wrestled for various independent promotions in Memphis, Michigan, Ohio, Canada and Hawaii. He was not billed as Terry Brunk, since it may have caused people to confuse him with Terry Funk.
