Huge Saku fan here, and I still don't think he's complete enough to deal with Lawler 2.0.
Lawler would use his amazing new TDD and improved striking to starch Saku.

Probably wouldn't even be competitive.

 

I know one thing Saku would die trying.

PPl forget he put CC on his back.

 

Saku Vs Robbie 1.0? Saku strangles Robbie

Saku Vs. Robbie 2.0? Robbie wins, but Saku's corner would have to throw in the towel.

 

Bad style match up for Saku. I'd say Robbie would win unless he made a blunder.

 

Lawler by murder

 

Would they throw in the towel?

 

Lol sak would submit him in a heartbeat.

75% of this forum only knows sak through the grapevine anyway.

 

Really, come on. I loved watching Saku back in the day. The guy had heart for miles and was always ridiculously entertaining. But realistically he didn't beat anyone of value after the year 2000 other than Rampage, who came on as a last minute replacement and was on a big stage for the first time ever.
