The videos attached show a 20 minute investigative report by 16:9, a Canadian news magazine show that airs on Global, one of the bigger networks in Canada, into Devon Nicholson's lawsuit against Abdullah The Butcher, for allegedly giving him Hepatitis C by using the same blade to juice himself with to subsequently cut Nicholson, and against WWE for being unfairly discriminated against for having the disease. In my opinion, the most interesting new quotes by Nicholson and Abdullah, respectively, were:
If I had a year in WWE, I would die happy. I really would, I would take that in a second over fifty million dollars.... With their no blood policy in place I am no danger to anybody in WWE.... One thing you are never supposed to do in a wrestling match is cut somebody without their permission or especially cut somebody with an instrument or cutting tool that has already been inside of yourself.... The reason why I think Abdullah won't give me a blood sample is because he has something to hide.
I'm not trying to hide nothing.... He has wrestled many wrestlers and how can you say it came from Abdullah The Butcher. If he was here right now, the first thing I would say to him is Devon, you know the way I use my blade and you know the way you use your blade, understand what I mean, now I have never cut you, understand?
Unfortunately, for Abdullah, Nicholson has video tape footage of him doing exactly that. Moreover, his claims of using a blade properly doesn't gel with his reputation of cutting numerous other people with a blade without their permission, including innocent bystanders like a ring announcer, a talk show host and even an 18 year old Keith Hart. Abdullah has a point that it will be hard for Nicholson to conclusively prove the only possible source for his Hepatitis C infection was The Madman from the Sudan, but Abdullah isn't helping his case with all his lies and deception.

This is a shame and I feel badly for Devon
Perhaps he deserves a chance at FCW. I know WWE cannot risk him being on the roster after knowing he’s Hep C. If someone in WWE catches the virus from Devon, then WWE is solely responsible for it and the damages from that would be enormous. What saddens me is that Devon as Hannibal, was a real interesting and striking old school heel that could have done big things. I know he’s worked with Terry Funk, Tommy Dreamer, Butcher, Honky Tonk Man and others. You don’t get to work programs with these kinds of talents on the Indy scene without them believing you’re worth it.
It’s a sad sad story and I think WWE’s hands are tied here. Devon may get some cash if the judge rules in his favor. I just don’t think a judge will. The burden was on Devon to maintain his health prior to getting a WWE contract and he did not do so. Abdullah has a lot to answer for.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
Couldn’t they have him wrestle a PPV dark match against X-Pac?

Feel for the guy.
I saw him wrestle in person twice. The last time I saw him was a few months ago in Hawkesbury and he put on the best show of the night by far.
The first time I saw him was in Ottawa, during the Ottawa Ex, at the Civic Center. That night in Ottawa he wrestled Abdullah The Butcher. The clip in the video where Abdullah nailed him with the glass pot was the match I saw.
When I was watching that match I was thinking this guy is going to make it to the WWE. He just stood out as a top talent who should be in the big show and this was without ever seeing him before. He is that good and it’s a damn shame he didn’t get the chance.
As for The Butcher saying he never cut him. Well, the proof is in the video. There’s no doubt that he cut him and by denying that it happened sure does make him look guilty. I Hope that Devon gets compensation out of Abdullah.
