Abdullah the Butcher vs. Necro Butcher,
NWA Southwest,
North Richland Hills, Texas,
April 14, 2000

Sheer, total, bloody carnage. That can only begin to describe the most nauseating wrestling match I have ever seen in person. Necro Butcher, NWA Southwest Texas Hardcore champion, put his belt on the line against the legendary Abdullah the Butcher. I had a front row seat at the Texas Indoor Arena for this one, and I came away with a little more than pictures ... namely, bloodstains on my clothes. Hope you've got a strong stomach, because here are my pics!
