I know a guy that almost had to get in the ring with Abdullah because the top guy of the territory that was supposed to face him wasn't feeling well.The top guy ended up showing up to work his match with Abby much to my old friend's relief because he was scared to death,but he was willing to do it for the good of the show.Abby accidentally cut this guy near a main artery and he almost bled to death.Everybody was rushing to help him and the paramedics came quick thank God!!! My friend who was barely a mid card guy said if that would've happened to him,they probably wouldn't have moved as fast to help him or call an ambulance being that he wasn't the top guy in that small territory.
Abdullah was more of a circus act than an actual wrestler which is why he would sell out shows. He came with something different. Now I must say, his style of work did nothing for me but no one can deny that he was an attraction to the business and he made a lot of people a lot of money.
The old Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair matches were bloody as hell. Back in the day almost all the main events had blood and lots of it. Greg the hammer Valentine was another bleeder. Thats what the fans in the 70s and 80s demanded.
Kind of a slight against The Sheik/Ed Farhat when speaking of Abdullah. Farhat was an icon of hardcore wrestling starting in the 60s. If there was a wrestler of that era who drew more heat, you can't name him.
Unfortunately, you're wrong. Abdullah the Butcher was a professional in all aspects of pro wrestling. He was one of the few scientific and technical wrestlers in his time. In fact there were some fans that asked to be cut, just to be able to say that Abdullah the Butcher did it. Abdullah the Butcher the GOAT.
Abdullah lost a $2 million lawsuit filed by a wrestler he cut open with his fork. The wrestler contracted the 'C' form of hepatitis and had to leave the ring for a period. Fortunately, he was healed and went back into the ring.
Yep. That's why he may have sucked as a wrestler but he was a good heel. People hated his character and kids feared him...like the Undertaker, only the Undertaker was a good wrestler.
"I'm burpin' excuse me." I don't know why, but I can't stop laughing. I didn't even hear the burp but when people point out their burps, it makes me laugh and I don't know why. Oh my gosh, and farts! This has nothing to do with the video or with wrestling, but farts make me laugh a lot. People say I'm immature for laughing at gas being expelled from either end. I think I need to turn off my computer because I'm laughing non-stop and it's hurting my stomach.
Am I the only one that thinks it's weird that a guy that cuts himself and bleeds in almost every match, and gave other wrestlers Hep C for cutting them with dirty blades has a restaurant?
When was Abdullah the Butcher in the WWF/WWE? I don't remember ever seeing him. If he was in the company he must have worked behind the scenes. I never saw him wrestle or manage anyone.
Agree completely with you!! I have said it time and time again. No one should wrestle with him. He is scarring you all People's faces. Let him go back from where he came and scar his People's faces!!!! Enough is Enough.👎👎👎
He had a history of cutting his apponents.Why would any wrestler expect not to get cut?Willing to take the chance of getting cut and infected for a paycheck?
This actually doesn’t surprise me at all and goes to the idea that people actually think Abdullah was some kind of affluent restaurateur. He ran out of food on the busy night because they never had a busy night like that. This is nothing out of the ordinary for failure operations
Got to agree with HTM on this one, don't remember the last time I ever saw Abby apply a wrist lock, arm bar, or even slam someone come to think of it, mostly punches, chops, kicks, and the fork.
Abdullah the Butcher was born in 1941, which means he was past his prime 40 years ago, you're not going to get a 5 Star match out of a heavyset old man
If Devon Nicholson would ask me about Abdullah the Butcher I'd probably talk negative about him as well. There are some actual crazy stories about the guy though.
The HTM say the JYD couldn't wrestle, Abdullah couldn't wrestle, Tony Atlas couldn't wrestle, Bad News Brown couldn't wrestle...you starting to see a pattern here?
@@afattori316 Yeah says the guy who thinks one of the worst wrestler (and gimmick) in history could actually wrestle. If he wasn't related to Lawler, he would still be in Canada wrestling for enough money to buy dinner. Obviously you don't know shit about wrestling!
william murray agreed he is vile. I can’t believe the scandal-shy WWE put him in the HoF. He is disgusting and always was. I can’t fathom how he is entertaining to anyone who isn’t a sick f&@k themselves.
At that time, many people believed wrestling to be real and wrestlers argued vehemently that it was because the concern was that if everyone knew it was fake, it would not draw people.
I'm feeling a twinge of hating from HTM, so I've decided to ignore. In my own opinion ATB's gimmick with the fork was a helluva lot better than carrying a guitar in the ring. Just my opinion. Don't mean to offend anybody.
At least when you seen the sheik and the Butcher wrestling you seen Blood that's something you don't see anyone wrestling now days is to scripted and soft
HTM is probably the most overrated wrestler in history. Elvis, get real. He couldn't wrestle, couldn't interview and Vince kept this clown as the IC champ! Always talking shit about other wrestlers. Now he's relegated to give shoot interviews in Goodwill's for 20 bucks.
Dude have nothing good to say about black wrestlers,he talked bad about about junkyard dog and I actually used to love his gimmick but dude act like a racist
I seen a video on U-Tube painting The Butcher in a good light. Gave his whole life story mainly talking about how he did it all for his Mom. The comments were full of people saying they didn't know he was such a nice guy. Lol. Of course they said nothing about what he did to Hannibal and others. He's is a disrespectful P.O.S and Hannibal you should have sought him out after learning what he did to you even if you had to wait till after your Payday. That was some real Selfish crap on his part. You should have added another slice to his Head. I'm sure you wanted to after all you went through to finally be Cured.
lmao. Started the match from the locker room

He's a Black belt in Karate I wouldn't Wanna fight him to this day
@@nineteeneightynine432 Its not like everyone knows how to Fight MMA,such a dumb man lol
No. He wore a belt that was black when he went to a karate exhibition.
Just met both at Wrestlecon 2017 and they were both the life of the party. Great Guys both :)
The old Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair matches were bloody as hell. Back in the day almost all the main events had blood and lots of it. Greg the hammer Valentine was another bleeder. Thats what the fans in the 70s and 80s demanded.
yea I remember seeing his ring on eBay for at least $50,000
this whole complete shoot interview is awesome! it's a bit long but, super interesting
The Butcher would stand full weight on a guys throat...you can't fake that!
He carried a fork and jabbed people!
Big deal. I knew this woman at church did the same thing.
Like him or not he's a real professional and knows the business I enjoyed the interviews
Should you expect the risk of death during a wrestling match? That's a pretty fucking stupid question.
+HarleyFace you sir are a legend
Abdullah the Hep c giver
Abdullah the Butcher was a firm believer, that it was better to give than receive.
"I'm burping, excuse me."
Kind of a slight against The Sheik/Ed Farhat when speaking of Abdullah. Farhat was an icon of hardcore wrestling starting in the 60s. If there was a wrestler of that era who drew more heat, you can't name him.
Yes I can, Killer Kowalski
Bruiser and Crusher
He was never a wrestler. ,and the referees allowing him to use a weapon are deplorable.

Guess what the guy you talking about this his is channel
He didn't use the fork he used the same razor blade on his opponent that he earlier used on himself
The reason Abdullah the Butcher used a fork was because when he was a boy, he remembered his mother telling him to use a fork.
The wrestler that caught hepatitis C from the Butcher wrestled him agin and won the match but he retired after that match
All you CLOWNS had a gimmick
Sit down rando.
Yeah this dick hit people upside the head with guitars.
Flabby Abby was mighty shabby.
Haha! Love it!
And jabby.
Your a poet and didn’t know it
the Butcher was awesome
I thought so, he gave excitement to the crowd!!
Yep! He gave excitement to his audience, and he gave Hep C to his opponents.
Abdullah scared the fucking shit out of me as a kid. When i would act up my grandpa would tell me Abdullah the Butcher is gonna get ya
Yep. That's why he may have sucked as a wrestler but he was a good heel. People hated his character and kids feared him...like the Undertaker, only the Undertaker was a good wrestler.
I don't like watching his matches they grose me out
@@donfuego3585 Abdullah the Butcher was better.
@@PROFESSOR-I.C.lol sure buddy

spinemelter2000 i
Are you doing better these days?
Just simple southern gentleman politness.
I love this interview. It’s great work.
Its a shoot interview... Not worked.
Wow. Elvis is alive
without the fork abdullah is nothing
James Faust Jr get the fuck outta here
True that. Only thing his contributed to Wrestling which he never was, only thing he gave was Hep c.
Not true. He had razors.
How about a spoon ?
Am I the only one that thinks it's weird that a guy that cuts himself and bleeds in almost every match, and gave other wrestlers Hep C for cutting them with dirty blades has a restaurant?
They weren't dirty blades, just slightly used with a smear of blood on them.
Yeah... All wrestlers cut themselves back in the day unlike todays soft, dull, average joe, 0 charisma wrestlers.
I love the story of Abdullah talking to everyone outside of wrestling having not sad a word on TV. "He's from Canada" ha!
I agree with HTM..... Pro Wrasslin' was just fine with no blood and gore if there was a fun story in and out of the ring. A T B was a waste.
here the HTH talkin' like he's upset cause ATB'S ring personna was different than who he really was !
When was Abdullah the Butcher in the WWF/WWE? I don't remember ever seeing him. If he was in the company he must have worked behind the scenes. I never saw him wrestle or manage anyone.
1972.
Agree completely with you!! I have said it time and time again. No one should wrestle with him. He is scarring you all People's faces. Let him go back from where he came and scar his People's faces!!!! Enough is Enough.👎👎👎

Exactly. It was well worth it.
Abby is a legend.
He is wank
The question is. A legend of what?
@@rompus23 A legend in professional wrestling. He also was not given to credit for his surgical skills.
This actually doesn’t surprise me at all and goes to the idea that people actually think Abdullah was some kind of affluent restaurateur. He ran out of food on the busy night because they never had a busy night like that. This is nothing out of the ordinary for failure operations
What Abby did to Devon was a fucking disgrace.
Got to agree with HTM on this one, don't remember the last time I ever saw Abby apply a wrist lock, arm bar, or even slam someone come to think of it, mostly punches, chops, kicks, and the fork.
Abdullah the Butcher was born in 1941, which means he was past his prime 40 years ago, you're not going to get a 5 Star match out of a heavyset old man
What do you expect him to use a spoon?
Honky seems like a very pissed off guy.
He’s a bitter ass guy!! And he talks like he was the greatest wrestler of his era!! 😂
I'm just gonna start asking on all the Hannibal tv videos... any news on him making a wwe run now? I heard he was clear
If Devon Nicholson would ask me about Abdullah the Butcher I'd probably talk negative about him as well.
There are some actual crazy stories about the guy though.
The HTM say the JYD couldn't wrestle, Abdullah couldn't wrestle, Tony Atlas couldn't wrestle, Bad News Brown couldn't wrestle...you starting to see a pattern here?
A pattern of being right.
@@afattori316 Yeah says the guy who thinks one of the worst wrestler (and gimmick) in history could actually wrestle. If he wasn't related to Lawler, he would still be in Canada wrestling for enough money to buy dinner. Obviously you don't know shit about wrestling!
I am surprised that Abdullah never went against Scott Steiner.
Abdullah went against Scott's brother.
Butcher had razor blades taped in his finger tips
3:25 “They’ve done things I don’t understand.” Yeah they’ve done things I don’t understand too, like putting you in the fucking Hall of Fame
bro hannibal, i want to start wrestling myself. do you have a wrestling school?
They actually do, im not qualitifed enough to comment on it, but I seen posters in Moncton advertising a wrestling school
LUPE GARZA Why do you want to start wrestling yourself? You should wrestle other people.
Monsoon Harvard hi dad
チャンカン@全日で一緒でしたね。(81年)
Great vid
Abdullah best physcopath ever
my question is, who was able to put a stop to abdulah and making him drown on his own medicine? i would like to see that match.
Andre the giant did
Abdullah was a attraction
The Donkey Kong man wishes he could draw money all over the world, like Abby. Donkey Kong was just another Memphis Jughead who got lucky.
Shut up
Abdullah is like me
1.my name is abdullah and i.am arabyn
2.i.am fat
3.i love wwe , wwf&wcw
I agree with Honky Tonk. Butcher was a brawler not a wrestler. A thug on a good day. That's not wrestling that's street fighting. 🤬
No place in wrestling for the butcher
william murray agreed he is vile. I can’t believe the scandal-shy WWE put him in the HoF. He is disgusting and always was. I can’t fathom how he is entertaining to anyone who isn’t a sick f&@k themselves.
abdullah was a "geek" wrestler.. always a gimmick!
No gimmick. He was a Butcher.
HTM is wrong on this one. Abdullah has clearly said he got his character from Jerry Lawler.
+Joe Schmoe You're thinking of Kamala.
THE HANNIBAL TV I stand corrected. You are right.
Why are we acting like any of this shit is real? Of course he talks outside the ring cause he is a persona in the ring lol
NextStageFitness Abdullah & Bruiser Brody use to beat the hell out each other.
At that time, many people believed wrestling to be real and wrestlers argued vehemently that it was because the concern was that if everyone knew it was fake, it would not draw people.
Honky Tonk Man is the best interview in wrestling.
How does he qualify as a wrestler and the referees are to blame and also the promoters
william murray he started in 1958. Do you think he would be as great 40 years later?
He is from Canada.
Lmao
he's NOT from Sudan and he DOES talk ? Wow, imagine that HTM; wrestling, is an act. Who would have ever thought ?
He is Canadian and fatter than Englisman's bacon.
I'm feeling a twinge of hating from HTM, so I've decided to ignore. In my own opinion ATB's gimmick with the fork was a helluva lot better than carrying a guitar in the ring. Just my opinion. Don't mean to offend anybody.
At least when you seen the sheik and the Butcher wrestling you seen Blood that's something you don't see anyone wrestling now days is to scripted and soft

Dude have nothing good to say about black wrestlers,he talked bad about about junkyard dog and I actually used to love his gimmick but dude act like a racist
All the HTM has done is tell the truth.
I seen a video on U-Tube painting The Butcher in a good light. Gave his whole life story mainly talking about how he did it all for his Mom. The comments were full of people saying they didn't know he was such a nice guy. Lol. Of course they said nothing about what he did to Hannibal and others. He's is a disrespectful P.O.S and Hannibal you should have sought him out after learning what he did to you even if you had to wait till after your Payday. That was some real Selfish crap on his part. You should have added another slice to his Head. I'm sure you wanted to after all you went through to finally be Cured.
Abdullah the Butcher wanted to show off his utensil skills and make his mom proud of him.
You weren't good either....
"I'm burping,excuse me"
