Happy 79th birthday to Abdullah the Butcher! Here is the Madman from the Sudan defending the WWC North American heavyweight championship against Carlos Colon in Trinidad and Tobago in 1981! This match is a perfect example of a wrestling crowd being 100% invested in the action! Colon attacks Abdullah at the start, not giving him a chance to breathe! He repeatedly sinks his teeth into the Butcher’s head, attempting to draw blood! The crowd is on their feet when the battle spills outside of the ring! They begin to surge closer to the action when Abdullah retaliates and bashes Colon’s head into the ringpost! Things go from bad to worse when the referee stops the match, but is unable to stop Abdullah’s attack! The fans nearly riot in the aftermath! Wrestling in Trinidad is serious business!
