Matt D Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The Robinson match is a pretty amazingly framed spectacle when it comes to protecting Robinson. He takes most of the first fall and the first brunt of the second, including a couple of big power moves, with Abdullah making him look like a million bucks (which admittedly, he was) until the freak knee accident happens. Even after that and the awesome mauling by Abdullah, once they finally get him back into the ring, he fights like a champ while selling the knee like a king. It makes Abdullah's gloating post match all the more awesome. I'd have paid good money for a rematch at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Oh man, I really want to see Abby tag with Perro. Also wish that very first six-man was online, it's on the NJ set and is ridiculously fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 HA! I just found the review of the Abby match with the TEN-YOO interview in DVDVR #95. GENICHIRO TENRYU/ TATSUMI KITAHARA/ JUN KIKUCHI vs. ABDULLAH the BUTCHER/ TARZAN GOTO/ RYO MIYAKE (Cage match) One trembles in fear at the mighty WAR Main Event. You never know what you’ll get. This DID have the absolutely GREAT Abdullah interview. “You’ve never tasted the fork, Ten-you! The Butcher Is EATING YOU, Ten-you!” Abby speaking English and delving so deeply into the realm of the Antichristo interview for all-out creepiness was priceless. The match itself was quite the hideous thing because Kitahara never gets to kick the fuck out of anything so to hell with all this. They carve up Tenryu pretty good, if your into that kind of thing. I GOT ALL OF THIS! Can care less how good it is, this must be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Tommy Young told a funny Abby story on the new Cornette pod. He had to work Abby when was still a worker in Detroit and had never juiced before, so Abby did it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Abby cut up another worker, I think one of the Hart kids, without warning at ringside. Just pulled him up and *slice* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 That Robinson 2/3 falls match was incredible. Plus it led me down the rabbit hole of a couple other really cool things. Hogan vs Abby from 82 for one. Hate filled brawl, a top 5 Hogan match for me. Is it possible Flair never worked Abdullah one on one? Shit I couldn't even find evidence of them facing off in a tag.

cool arrow Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 They had a match in Amarillo in '77. Abdullah won. That's the only one I could find, although they actually teamed a couple times in Georgia in '78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
