Abdullah The Butcher For WWE Hall Of Fame

‘Abby Days’ as the Butcher Gets Hall Of Fame Nod


By Phil Allely

Garbage match legend Abdullah The Butcher (Larry Shreve) is the latest wrestler to be added to the WWE’s Hall of Fame this year.

The infamous blood-spiller who is now well into his 70s has been performing in rings large and small across the globe for over 50 years, showing no signs of letting up yet. The wild eyed maniac’s appearance (with deep forehead scars are so prominent he can balance coins in them) and brutal ring style make him as formidable and unpredictable an opponent today as he was in his prime.

Internationally known as The Madman of the Sudan, the 400 pound monster terrorized opponents and fans alike with his ferocious assaults, using a dinner fork to draw blood and create havoc in every arena he entered.

Considering the current WWE non-bloodletting PG era of programming the addition of one of the wrestling industry’s most notorious innovators of violence to the esteemed hall of fame is an interesting one indeed and one that such a living legend as this deserves..

Abdullah never raised a major singles title or drew huge crowds in the US for the WWE, but he did sell-out arenas elsewhere face such stars as Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Bruiser Brody, Terry Funk, Giant Baba and many others in bloody brawls across Puerto Rico, Japan and Mexico.

Abdullah will be joining fellow inductees Shawn Michaels, Tammy ‘Sunny’ Sytch, ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan, ‘Bullet’ Bob Armstrong and comedian Drew Carey in this year’s ceremony, which will take place on Apr 2nd over Wrestlemania weekend.
