I did some Jail time for a DUI in Knoxville TN.(Not that I'm proud about that.)But the kitchen Guard was none other than The Mongolian Stomper, Archie Gouldie.He was quiet,didn't mess with no one and got along with everyone.But in the sliders one day It was him,me and 1 other guy and I ask him who he really liked wrestling and who not.He said Abdullah the butcher was tough because he sometimes got way carried away.The he point at his mind and did the circle finger "Wacko" indication.
If someone could find some of Abdullah's matches from the mid 80's when he wrestled in the DFW area, his feuds with the VonErich clan would rival the matches he fought in Japan..One night he tookout Fritz, Kerry and David in a span of 10 minutes..BARRELS OF BLOOD!!!
I've been a wrestling fan for 27 years this is the only wrestler that struck fear in me when I was young. Abdullah is truly a hardcore lengend in his time always a site to see when he wrestles famous bloodbaths etc..one of my all time favorites.
Its so hard to see Abdullah cry who has tormented his opponents for so many years... I hope he's proud that God kept him alive so that he fulfills his dream of being part of the hall of fame...
Has anybody here ever eaten at his restaurant? Sports Illustrated did a piece a few years back on restaurants owned by athletes and said the food was really good.
Great to see hin in the Hall... But why oh why did WWE put Drew Carey induction over Abby? At first it was suppoed to be Sunny... And I dont get that either. The WWE has really no respect for the old timers.
@hoghash78 There has never been a documented case of someone getting HIV/AIDS from getting blood in their mouth, and no pro wrestler or anyone else for that matter is going to make history by becoming the first. Go spread your misinformation elsewhere.
@seikogoldwatch2009 Maybe not blood in the mouth, but when two wrestlers are cut open and their blood gets on each other... That's a real problem. And this was the case in almost every one of Abdullah the Butchers matches over his 60 year career. Billy Graham has gotten Hepatitis C from this business, and Hannibal has actually gotten it from Abdullah the Butcher himself.
@itzsovicious Two wrestlers being cut open and getting blood on each other is not a risk for HIV infection. Hepatitis C, sure. HIV, no. Secondly, Abdullah turned 70 this year, so he hasn't been wrestling for 60 years. And, again, as I said, Hepatitis C is not spread only through wrestling. Do you know Hannibal personally? Do you know without certainty that none of his other lifestyle choices led to his Hepatitis C? No, you don't.
@seikogoldwatch2009 lol wow my bad, I just read he started wrestling in the 50s, I didn't actually calculate the elementary math to realize it could have been late 50s. Anyways, no I don't know Hannibal personally, but the fact that his tests prior to wrestling with Abdullah came negative, and even after The Butcher agreed to giving blood tests to prove he isn't Hep C positive, he didn't deliver. He's been ignoring the lawyers and calls for a while now. It's just very sketchy.
@hoghash78 LOL funny you should mention this on an Abdullah the Butcher video. Go look at the video 'Don't Bleed On Me'. This guy is the potential reason why a guy who could have some day become a legend in the WWE, (Devon 'Hannibal' Nicholson) was never even allowed to come to the WWE. They revoked his contract upon learning that he had contracted Hepatitis C, and many believe it happened during a match against Abdullah, where Abdullah used the same blade on himself and then on Hannibal.
First time I've seen this story. Great to see him inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame last night. It blew my mind to see the house he grew up in is three blocks from where I live. After watching this, you see now just what a legend he has been as a wrestler, but you see even more, what a classy human being he always has been.
@koolaid 28..abdullah was attacked often by fans in puerto rico and the islands...a couple times their were large riots...mostly cuz colon had a huge following and the fans often freaked when he was brutalized..that and refs losing control of matches..
scary as fuck dude when u see him fight and everything but damn such a down to earth guy who never forgets where he came from. every person should respect a guy like him!
That's when wrestling presented the illusion that it might be real, It was violent and somewhat believable. Now it's a joke. Guys like Abdullah are dinosaurs. They wouldn't have made it in the business today. It's sad.
nice guy but a bad ass in that ring...never seen him talk untill now..awsome post..abdullah is one of the best hardcore wrestlers of all time...thanks for lots of cool matches abdullah..
Thank you for the professionalism and your unique way of entertaining us. Wrestling is not the same today. Glad you and those like you were around then,.
I remember being in Atlanta for ECW's PPV in 1998(?). There was an organized event at Abby's restaurant. And I remember driving up to the place, and there's Abby directing cars into the lot. I think about all the violent matches that i saw him in. That moment FOREVER blew my image of him.
But then I got a chance to speak to him a bit later. What a gentleman.
what's remarkable about Abby is that as rough as his matches seem, he was never known for being stiff. Unlike a lot of men his size, he respected his opponents. I didn't know he was so old though, this guy wrestled Lou Thez? I don't even think Ric Flair ever faced him or wrestled during Lou's time. All I know is that he still has a very young face for someone pushing 70.
One tuber wrote about how he meant Abdullah at a convienient store in Georgia as a child and was scared to death of him. But Abdullah talked to him and made friends with him and his father. He even sent his family tickets to the local wrestling card. He said that they still remain friends today.
@sanctainquisitio Yeah, It was weird, that this guy who you see countless times, carving people up, and being violent, and there he was, soft spoken and almost grand fatherly. And his scars are about 10 times more gross in person.
@IamUberStein They actually didn't even get the first name right. They had "Calos". Shoddy research, but this was still a good piece, since Abdullah told the stories, mainly.
I've watched Abdullah for 35 years, and this is the first time I've heard him speak. Knew about his restaurant, his real name and birthplace in Windsor, but it's still mind-blowing that he is so well-spoken and ... well, human. What marks we all are!
@richieaffs I actually got to talk to Abdullah about this match !! I remember the PPV and asked him about why it was never released on vhs/dvd. It had to do with contracts not signed and Turner Sports not giving him what he asked for.
I wonder which territory Abby was most likely to get attacked by fans, or does it even matter. I would think Colon's territory, but it could have have happened anywhere.
Growing up in Puerto Rico back in the 80s I always thought of this guy as this animal / bad guy who was such a freak he always had his manager speak for him (Chicky Rodriguez if I remember correctly). But after this documentary I have nothing but respect for him. Would love to shake his hand some day.
@TheRagev3 Well there have been a group called We Want Abdulah in the WWE Hall of fame on facebook and Abby joined the group and said he was not interested to be in the WWE Hall Of Fame.
@TheRagev3 Well he said he would refuse to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of fame, however, im sure that for a good sum of money he would probably change his mind ;) Anyway, we all know that Abby is a true hall of famer in our harts and that's whats important :)
WOW! how they put Calo Stalone instead of CARLOS COLON! worst spelling error ever even abdullah should know how to spell that name his beef n matches with Colon was one of his best..PLus Carlos Colon is a wrestling Legend in Puerto Rico..Abdullah Great wrestler! should be a Hall of Famer
WOW how they put Calo Stalone is CARLOS COLON! even abdullah should know how to spell that Name his beef n matches with Carlos Colon was one of the Best..Plus Colon is a Wrestling Legend back in PR Carlitoooooo lol Abdullah great wrestler
Abdullah's story on here is great they should come out with a dvd some time soon it would sell good if it's anywhere close to this It should also have all his greatest matches.
This scar made me this much money. lol. abdullah was the man. back when wresting was wrestling and people didn't bitch about paychecks. did it cuz they lvoed it.
Abby has just arrived here at Tokyo, Japan and have a tag team match against another legend, Terry Funk in Tokyo Egg Dome tomorrow on January 4. Abby arrived in Japan for the very first time in 1970, which means it's just 40 years since his first arrival. Terry also arrived in the very same year, but Abby has been wrestling here every year except for in 1986. He claims to be retired in P.R. and Canada, but being still around here and says, " I will never quit in Japan" We will see it!!!
Thank you for posting. It is amazing who these legends really are outside the ring. I remember watching Abdullah and I use to get terrified anytime I heard one of my heroes were going to wrestle him. I was a kid back then but I knew he was dangerous. You always knew there was going to be a lot of blood lost when you wrestled him.
You and me both. That man scared the living crap out of me every time I saw him on tv when I was little. That's how intense his character is. I remember one of the bloodiest feuds ever was with Carlos Colon, from Puerto Rico. I remember seeing stabbing with the fork on Colon's forehead.
If more legends/hall of famers had that attitude, their retirements would be more genuine. Not having a thousand "return/retirement" matches with no authenticity to them
Puerto Rico Love you Abdullah, You the Best... Since i was 6 years old (1982) You my idol, Those match in san juan, Bayamon, Ponce Remember? i really hope i can make it to georgia and met you one day to your restaurant, im in florida now. Wish u the best.
His matches wit carlos colon the invader and many others were the ones that made wrestling in PR so important that people like Kane , Val Venis, Yokozuna,The wild samoans(both generations), Randy Savage, Ric Flair among others consider PR as a school for real pro wrestling on this side of earth.(Japan being the other place along with mexico)
when i was a kid back in the 80s, Abdullah scared the hell out of me. i met him years later for an autograph, when he shook my hand and started talking to me with a big smile, it blew my freakin mind, hes a great guy, one of the most kind people i have ever met. ive met a lot of wrestlers, but meeting Abby, and Ivan Koloff stand out in my book as the 2 most kind and friendly of them all.
he is a legend and he should be in WWE hall of fame, but the problem is he didnt was or had a match in wwe, because this i dont think so he will be there
he is a real man and a great wrestler. u don't see that much today. he may have done it for the money and fame a little bit but he never forgot where he came from.
This is such a surprising & refreshing & a great piece on a wrestler. What a great man he is. It would be disillusioning if this were done during his heyday. Such a sweet guy,especially his describing how he wants to leave this world with a tear. Thanks for those who took the time in creating this. I feel very inspired that there are great souls like Larry Shreeve(Abdullah)& that he is not such a bad guy out of the ring!!!
i was scared when i met him at his restaraunt but if u whatch the last 25 seconds he is a sweet guy with giant family ties. he has done what he had to do to keep his family up and running, and that he wants to be near his family at death i think that is the one thing that could ever make him cry and that is his parents dying. he is so family oriented
in abdullah video part 3 at 4:23 appear calos stalone, as a mistake due to announcer pronuciation, well he is not, is carlos colon father of wwe stars carlito and primo colon, long time in ring foe to abby!
I've heard many stories of fans who have meet Abdullah and not one person has spoken ill of him. They all say he was very nice and a soft spoken gentleman.
Good to hear Abdullah The Butcher speak in an interview. It's amazing he is still wrestling with the amounts of blood he lost during many of the wildest hardcore matches he has ever been in. A hardcore legend and a true gentleman outside the ring, believe it or not. I didn't know he's Canadian. Those graphic scars on his head have certainly been his trademark look during his career.
Abdullah is right on. He's a classy guy. He's right no matter if your'e Bill Gates or Donald Trump we're all going to end up in the same place buried in a grave or cremated.
Damn Thanks for this video. in 4:18 that guy nameis Carlos Colon, Puerto Rican Legend. 24 times universal champion and the Abdullah's longest feud. Also father of Carlito and Primo Colon.
Very well spoken and intelligent.Both he and Kamala did their roles very well in the ring.I guess most fans would be surprised.

Abby has just arrived here at Tokyo, Japan and have a tag team match against another legend, Terry Funk in Tokyo Egg Dome tomorrow on January 4. Abby arrived in Japan for the very first time in 1970, which means it's just 40 years since his first arrival. Terry also arrived in the very same year, but Abby has been wrestling here every year except for in 1986. He claims to be retired in P.R. and Canada, but being still around here and says, " I will never quit in Japan" We will see it!!!

Thank you for posting. It is amazing who these legends really are outside the ring. I remember watching Abdullah and I use to get terrified anytime I heard one of my heroes were going to wrestle him. I was a kid back then but I knew he was dangerous. You always knew there was going to be a lot of blood lost when you wrestled him.

You and me both. That man scared the living crap out of me every time I saw him on tv when I was little. That's how intense his character is. I remember one of the bloodiest feuds ever was with Carlos Colon, from Puerto Rico. I remember seeing stabbing with the fork on Colon's forehead.
Cheers

"When i can't produce, then i get out"
If more legends/hall of famers had that attitude, their retirements would be more genuine. Not having a thousand "return/retirement" matches with no authenticity to them

His matches wit carlos colon the invader and many others were the ones that made wrestling in PR so important that people like Kane , Val Venis, Yokozuna,The wild samoans(both generations), Randy Savage, Ric Flair among others consider PR as a school for real pro wrestling on this side of earth.(Japan being the other place along with mexico)

when i was a kid back in the 80s, Abdullah scared the hell out of me. i met him years later for an autograph, when he shook my hand and started talking to me with a big smile, it blew my freakin mind, hes a great guy, one of the most kind people i have ever met. ive met a lot of wrestlers, but meeting Abby, and Ivan Koloff stand out in my book as the 2 most kind and friendly of them all.

His matches have too much blood for me. Him and Carlito Colon have had probably the most bloodiest matches ever.

he is a real man and a great wrestler. u don't see that much today. he may have done it for the money and fame a little bit but he never forgot where he came from.

This is such a surprising & refreshing & a great piece on a wrestler. What a great man he is. It would be disillusioning if this were done during his heyday. Such a sweet guy,especially his describing how he wants to leave this world with a tear. Thanks for those who took the time in creating this. I feel very inspired that there are great souls like Larry Shreeve(Abdullah)& that he is not such a bad guy out of the ring!!!

My thoughts exactly! So weird to see a man capable of making such disturbing matches as a gentleman...and a sensitive one at that.

i was scared when i met him at his restaraunt but if u whatch the last 25 seconds he is a sweet guy with giant family ties. he has done what he had to do to keep his family up and running, and that he wants to be near his family at death i think that is the one thing that could ever make him cry and that is his parents dying. he is so family oriented

Good to hear Abdullah The Butcher speak in an interview. It's amazing he is still wrestling with the amounts of blood he lost during many of the wildest hardcore matches he has ever been in. A hardcore legend and a true gentleman outside the ring, believe it or not. I didn't know he's Canadian. Those graphic scars on his head have certainly been his trademark look during his career.
