Dark Side Of The Ring: Abdullah The Butcher, Legacy Of Blood.
One of the biggest heels in wrestling history Larry Shreve took on the character Abdullah a fierce tough guy from Sudan who fought in Puerto Rico, Japan, WCW, and the Indie circuit. This episode looks back at his childhood in Ontario to travelling to Detroit and taking up a long career in wrestling making money where he went. In 2014 he was sued by another wrestler after he contracted Hepatitis C and lost a court case and now struggling to make ends meet. This was interesting to hear Abdullah speak in his own words about his family and his career without having to fork someone.
