  Sabu was nicknamed "The Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal, Death–Defying Maniac" due to his mixed style of high-flying and hardcore wrestling. Some of his moves included using a steel chair, like the Air Sabu (a heel kick to a cornered opponent, with the assistance of a steel chair), the Arabian Facebuster (jumping, diving or a somersault leg drop, driving a steel chair into the face of the opponent) or the Arabian Skullcrusher (jumping, diving or a somersault leg drop, driving a steel chair into the back of the opponent's head, usually through a table).
  
  One of the most notable aspects of Sabu's character was his refusal to speak, however, he claimed that he had to do the most talking he ever did in WWE. In his early career, Sabu was billed as being from Saudi Arabia, or Bombay, India (in real life he was a second-generation Lebanese American from a suburb of Detroit). In ECW, however, he was clearly heard speaking in the ring on several occasions and it was fairly common knowledge that Brunk was an American citizen from birth. This led to a joke at kayfabe 's expense when Sabu began to be billed as hailing from "Bombay, Michigan". When he debuted in ECW, Sabu's character was an uncontrollable madman who was strapped to a gurney, wore a Hannibal Lecter -style face mask and was accompanied by his handler 911. He also wore turban ring entrance attire similar to that of his uncle and was even considered to be the one who carried The Sheik's "legacy".
  
  Sabu was credited as a revolutionary due to his work in ECW.
