There have been many wild men in the world of pro wrestling but did any give you nightmares. In 1985 I was 7 years old and cable TV had just been introduced to the UK and my grandfather was one of the first in my area to have it installed. I was visiting one day with my parents and he was glued to the TV watching NWA World Wide Wrestling. On the scene was the most terrifying man I had seen, Abdullah The Butcher. He was bleeding from the head and stabbing a fork into the head of The Ragin Bull Manny Fernandez. Well needless to say that was all I needed to see, I was hooked and have been ever since. However when I used to go to bed when I was a kid, dreaming of being a wrestler i would have a recurring dream of the Mad Man From The Sudan chasing me with that dreaded fork and also the Barbarian with the painted face and the tongue sticking out. Fantastic memories which keep me a fan today but I doubt folks are that much invested these days to be scared by it all. A shame really as I count it as a major part of my childhood. Any wrestlers ever terrify you guys?
