It was actually at Cardiff Comic Con at the start of the month. Poor guy had ran a marker pen through the £15 notice and written £10 under it, meaning that I could have met him twice as many times as Robert Englund or Anthony Head if I wanted.
First off, I gotta say that the guy wasn't in any way shape or form. I was cautious not to over mark and simply thanked him for his hard work, listed one or two matches of his that I loved and shook his hand.
Everything was cool, but he mumbled his words and seemed out of it. The lady sitting next to him asked my name for the autograph and I said 'Karl', causing Sabu to look confused, so she asked me to spell it out to him which I did, and that only made Sabu more puzzled. In the end I had to write it down for the man to copy. I didn't have a problem with any of this, it was just cool to meet him.
Walking away from the table I realised that I had never seen a Sabu promo before, and figured that maybe the dude simply had a poor grasp of English. Until I got home and stuck 'Sabu interview' into YouTube and witnessed Sabu speaking perfectly clear English. So, I'm really not sure whether he was just really tired, plain did not want to be there, or out of his tits.
P.S: Second paragraph, I meant to say that he wasn't rude in any shape or form, but this damn tablet won't let me jump that far back.

Gotta add, if slightly off topic, that David Hasslehoff was an ass though. I had no desire to meet the dick, but my brother was a huge Nightrider fan back in the day, and had a birthday coming up, so I figured it would be a cool present to get him a signed happy birthday poster. I'll never see that damn £30 again.
Shame Foley wasn't there, guess the guy had already left the UK by that point.

It is possible he was playing kayfabe. Sabu, gimmick wise, isn't much of a talker.

Guess that could be the case. I mean judging from his grateful and humble expression, he seemed to understand me fine when I thanked him for all the cool matches.

Sabu has also said in the past he gets major anxiety talking to people he doesn't know (hence his avoidance of promos), so it could have been he was completely burned out from talking to people all day.

Yeah I guess I can understand that. I did try to keep it brief, and was only marking on the inside.

Don't take it hard, the guy is apparently really shy so that would be the reason he acted really awkward towards you.

Was it Sabu's wife at the table with him?

She looked like she was getting on a bit (mid fifties maybe), I was guessing it was his agent, but knows, maybe not all wrestlers have the Ric Flair gene.
