Abdullah the Butcher
Real Name: Larry Schreeve
Birthday: 11/02/36
Wrestling Debut: 1958

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.

Set a Montreal record, wrestling against Johnny Rougeau on July 17, 1972 at Jarry Park (then the home of the Expos). It was the main event of a card that drew over 26,000 fans and a $100,000+ gate

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. Owns and manages a restaurant there called Abdullah the Butcher's House of Ribs and Chinese Food and is friendly with fans that come in, from the reports I've heard. InfoSpace gives the following listing: Abdullah the Butcher's House Of Ribs, 2387 Fairburn Rd SW, Atlanta, GA 30331-5242.
