Al Isaacs from Scoops sent me this in regard to Abdullah the Butcher wrestling more despite his "retirement" and his age of 62 :
"According to their press release he is signed to do some shows with them. Their webpage is New Dimension Wrestling.
Finally, the webpage doesn't make any notes in particular to this hardcore legend (my vote for wrestler of the century a few days ago) but they do have shows in Greensboro, NC and he will be at some, although it's only a few hours from his home in Atlanta, so I guess it's not that much time away from home and he can continue the sport he loves.
All right, all the rumors of Abby showing up in the wwf just pissed me off. I thought that he would be there, after all the hype and everything, and then it was 2 Cold Scorpio??? For once, Abdullah might have been under WWF banner, but no, they went a different way, god dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"From Windsor, but billed as the wild man from the Sudan. Star heel around
the world, best-known for carving up opponents' foreheads with foreign
objects ... and getting his own forehead carved up. Had so much scar tissue,
he could start bleeding from a good turnbuckle shot. Today, it's hard to
believe how much heat he could get from a running/flying elbow smash, but
it was an awesome finisher in its day.Was never supposed to be able to speak English, so he worked with several managers through the years, including Eddie "The Brain" Creatchman, J.J. Dillon, Gary Hart, Bearcat Wright, Rock Hunter, and many others.
Also a big star for the All Japan promotion where he held the top titles and won their biggest annual tournament -- the Grand Champion Carnival -- in 1976 and 1979.
Lives in Atlanta. Owned and managed a restaurant there called Abdullah the Butcher's House of Ribs and Chinese Food and was very friendly with fans that come in."

The address of Abdullah's I received was the adress of the CWA, and not that of Abdullah's, although, I do have the address of his restaurant, which should be good enough.

If you have ever met Abdullah, and have a story, contact me.
This canadian born wrestler
has led an interesting life, and is, without a doubt, the coolest looking
one alive. Throughout his career, he's had different gimmicks (Pussycat
Pikens, Zeras Amala), but, his most famous, and still used one has to be,
Abdullah the Butcher. Legendary for his fights with Cactus Jack and Giant Baba, this Puroresu Hall of Famer (inducted June, 1997)
is the most brave wrestler alive today. He's 62 and just retired, while occasionaly wrestling in the japanese promotion WAR in japan under the name, Kuroi Jujutsushi (black wizard).
He's 62, and he'll still allow his forehead to gush blood and wrestle the hardcore style that japan has.
