Abdullah the Butcher's Cageside Evaluation

What you loved:

1. Hardcore Style - He was hardcore before hardcore was cool.
2. Genuinely Scary - He was terrifying, not just for how he wrestled but because look at that monster.
3. Restaurant - Abdullah the Butcher’s House of Ribs and Chinese Food... I don't think anything else needs to be said.
4. Fork - Never before has a fork, his go-to weapon in every match, looked so scary.
5. Longevity - He debuted in 1958, and technically hasn't officially retired. Over 50 years in the wrestling business is incredible, especially considering his style.

Favorite comment comes via ReverendKain:

"THE FORK. Love the fork. I am completely incapable of holding a plastic fork without trying to drive it into my own forehead or the foreheads of others."

What you loathed:

1. Hardcore Style - For all the supporters of this style, there are just as many detractors.
2. Hepatitis C - He allegedly passed this on to other wrestlers by sharing blades or bleeding during matches. For someone who is known as a really good guy otherwise, this was very disturbing.
3. In-Ring - Never known as a master technician inside the ring, his hardcore style took over as the main focus.
4. Forehead - Could fit coins in his scars.

"Loathe: He’s still alive right? I’m not saying anything then."
