00:00February 4th, 1995, double tables, Sabu and Taz defeat the public enemy for the ECW World Tag Team Championship.
00:10Many feel it's a turning point in both men's careers.
00:14April 8th, 1995, one of the most controversial nights in ECW history, the three-way dance,
00:22Sabu is publicly fired from extreme championship wrestling.
00:26The November to remember, 1995, Sabu returns to ECW and Taz's shocking betrayal,
00:37which he blames on the fact that ECW would bring back Sabu.
00:43For one year, Taz has called out Sabu and has claimed that the only thing holding Sabu back has been fear.
00:53Well, tonight, I'm here to set the record straight, because there was one man that I consulted before bringing Sabu back to ECW.
01:05One man who I went to for his blessing.
01:08One man who could have stopped the return of Sabu.
01:11And that one man was Taz.
01:13The deal between the three of us was very simple.
01:17Sabu would be brought back to ECW because it was right for business, because the fans demanded it,
01:24because it was the best thing overall for the health of the company.
01:29And Taz would leave him alone.
01:32Let bygones be bygones.
01:33Forget the three-way dance.
01:36He'd always leave Sabu alone.
01:38He gave me his word.
01:39As a friend.
01:40As a man.
01:43Sabu gave me the same promise.
01:45He would forget about Taz.
01:47He would put it behind him.
01:49He would let the past be the past.
01:52And he gave me his word as a man.
01:54As a man of honor.
01:56He gave me his word as my friend.
01:59For one year, Taz has called Sabu out to the ring because Taz has known for one year that Sabu will not answer the challenge.
02:11He cannot answer the challenge because he gave me his word.
02:15Because for one year, Sabu has been a man of his word.
02:20He's been a true friend.
02:22And while we here at ECW all cherish, we cherish Taz's credibility.
02:30We cherish his physical gifts.
02:33We love to compare him to wrestlers and other organizations because we know exactly how gifted this athlete can be.
02:41But the man with the body of a baby gorilla does not have the mental maturity to match his physical maturity.
02:49Because he's never gotten over the jealousy.
02:51He's never gotten over the rage.
02:54He's never gotten over the envy.
02:58For one year, he has called out Sabu because he knows in his heart that Sabu cannot answer the challenge without going back on his word to his friend.
03:12Now that, my friends, is the truth, which is the one thing in this world besides Sabu that Taz is not man enough yet to handle.
