Posted October 9, 201311 yr comment_5566762 West Indies Heavyweight Title: Abdullah the Butcher © vs. Carlos Colon (September 1981) This is from Trinidad which was quite the enviroment for matches and rare that we get clips from this country. This is paced slower than their usual battles but it builds to a wild battle and bloodbath as the fans started to get pissed off. The local wrestlers showed up around ringside and you could tell this was about to turn ugly. Colon's face was so bloody it looked like he had paint on it and Abby just kept beating on him until the referee stopped the match. Eventually the local wrestlers and fans ended up in the ring and an almost riot began. Total insanity and a definite nomination.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_5566783 This is one of those matches that is worth watching just for the atmosphere. Match is from Trinidad and the crowd keeps swarming closer and closer to the ring as this goes on. Carlos looks totally different here. Abby does not. This is about what you would expect, but the brawling around ringside was somewhat limited by the crowd that was right up on top of the ring. I really did love Colon targeting Abby's ear early on, but Abby's selling is so poor that it really didn't work as well as it should. Both guys end up a blood mess and this had some Abby schtick that I did enjoy but this was mainly notable for crazy shit like a fan stealing a foreign object out of Abby's hands and the ref calling the match to avert a riot only for Abby to keep going on post-match and making things worse. I wouldn't outright oppose this, but this is the weakest of the Abby v. Colon matches I've seen as far as work, albeit with a nutty atmosphere. I could see this rounding out a set if we needed a couple of extra matches, but this is low end at best
