Abdullah the Butcher

Abdullah the Butcher Review

Curtis began wrestling as a nine-year-old amateur, and then played American football in Canada before turning professional at 17. He attended the University of California, where he majored in economics. Rather than study money, he decided to go out and make it.

Curtis did a tour of England in the late 1960s, and the rings had to be specially strengthened to accommodate his huge frame. In those days, he was a huge man, and his "Big Splash" finishing move was a spectacular match winner.

A great drawcard in Japan, "The King" toured there on twenty occasions, and along with another mat villain, "Abdullah the Butcher", became a big favourite there.
