* AxCrazy:
** {{Determinator}}: He LIVES this trope. The guy once missed a table spot and lost some teeth after his mouth hit one of the legs. He went to the back, put Krazy Glue over the damaged area, covered it with athletic tape, and ''finished the match.''
*** His performance in the infamous ''Born to Be Wired'' no-rope barbed-wire match where he defeated Terry Funk for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-h.html ECW World Heavyweight Title]] definitely qualifies.
*** The second time Sabu broke his neck, he was wrestling again 2 weeks later. No, not years, '''weeks'''.
*** Wrestling/JoeyStyles likely said it best, as he often did, during the Sabu-Rhyno match at ''ECW One Night Stand 2005.'':
---->"Sabu personifies self-sacrifice. (...) I've seen him tear open his bicep in barbed wire, which later needed 100 stitches, he finished the match; he took some athletic tape and taped it up. Sabu will sacrifice his own well-being to win a match, and how do you beat a man, how do you beat a man who fears ''nothing'', '''''nothing!'''''"
*** In that same match, Wrestling/MickFoley, the guy who, among other things, has had his ear torn off, been set on fire more than once, lost who knows how much blood, and been thrown off/through the Hell in a Cell at least three times, gave us this quote:
-->'''Mick Foley:''' I've been called the Hardcore Legend for a long time, and for a long time there was a debate over who was the wildes, who was the most maniacal wrestler, Sabu or myself. And it took me a while to admit to myself that I'm not even in the guy's league, Joey, I'm not sure if I could've continued with 100 stitches in my arm - with a cut that required 100 stitches. I've seen Sabu impaled on a guardrail, I was ''sure'' in a match with me he'd never continue. This man finds a reservoir of guts and pride somewhere deep in his soul that most of us will never have.
