Abdullah The Butcher

[guitarjosh]

Any of the mid 90's WWF guys, like Bastian Booger (his gimmick was poor hygene) Duke Drose (wrestling Trash man).

Putting Sabu, Abdullah, or even CM Punk on a worst wrestler of all-time list tells me you don't know much about wrestling. For worst wrestlers try Mantaur, The Great Khali, or Bastion Booger.

Just clowning on (THE BUTCHER) I know him. He went against the greats. He is a really great guy.

If you got a gimmick then you cant be the worst at anything.

No one mentioned thus far could hold Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorf's jockstrap, except maybe Abdullah imo...

Everyone had their own regional wrestling back in the 60's and 70's into the 80's before ** Mahon cornered the market but Vern Gagne's All Star Wrestling was the greatest.To this day I see guys in their 60's even relating to the wrestlers that used to be on it.It was an upper midwest institution that provided every kid growing up alot of fond memories.Thanks Vern Gagne if you are out there.Vern was the guy that was given credit for inventing and implementing the famous sleeper hold.He would be about 80 now and played football for the University of Minnesota Gophers and I believe for the Packers for a year and then to Canada to play.He wrestled into his 60's.

Anyway,he assembled a stable of characters that wrestled for him like none other.He had the right mix of villains,flunky losers and good guys.Mad Dog Vachon,The Crusher,Baron Von Raschke the clawmaster,Bobby the Brain Heenan,Nick Bockwinkle,Jesse Ventura and many others.I think Hulk Hogan got his start in Minneapolis.

The losers were the best though.Kenny Jay was the greatest bad wrestler of all time.He was called,Kenny the sod buster Jay.The announcer would always say,the very capable Kenny Jay.Kenny would get the snot beat out of him in every match but also in every match they would let him get in a flury of moves and good licks on his opponent where he would get the guy down for a count of 2 and 9/10 of a count.The announcer would say,Kenny Jay turns it on.Then after nearly pinning his opponent he would get beat about 40 seconds later.He tended to always get his eyes gouged when he was moving in for the kill and was blinded.

Then there were so many almost as bad as Kenny like George Scrap Iron Gadasky from Great Falls,Montana.They always had to say where he was from 20 times a match was another regular flunky.Every once in awhile a milestone event would take place where they would let the loser flunkies win a match but it was usually a win through a disputed disqualification where the flunky would get 20 kinds of dog crap beaten out of him.

The announcers were a bunch of nutty characters too.Roger Kent and Marty O'neil were the most famous and they added tremendously to the show.

I swear they used to get bums off of Hennepin Avenue which was a seedy part of Minneapolis and give them $50 to get beat up in the ring.They had to have had a huge toilet paper box of ill fitting tunics and old wrestling outfits-gear where the bums all fought to get the best of the worst stuff to wear in the ring.They were all ill fitting outfits where guys asses and beer bellies were sticking out and nothing was left to the imagination as to the size of their units.Not that any sain woman would care to see it mind you.hehe!

I wish they had all the hour shows from a 20 year period in its peak so they could replay them and bring back childhood memories.There were litteraly 1000 wrestlers that came through there that all had notorious reputations for being something or another that to this day everyone here would remember.Gagne had a way of crafting personas.

Especially in the 60's they would fill hockey arenas up here when wrestling came to town.The wrestlers would make the 3 hour trip up from Minneapolis in personal vehicles and the guys fighting each other that night would be riding together laughing it up going over all the script for the night.
