Dark Side of the Ring S04E07: Abdullah & Siblings on His Early Years

Here's a sneak preview of Vice TV and Evan Husney & Jason Eisener's Dark Side of the Ring S04E07: "Abdullah the Butcher: Legacy of Blood."

Vice TV and Evan Husney & Jason Eisener's Dark Side of the Ring returns this week with a new episode focusing on one of our favorite wrestlers when we were growing up. In S04E07: "Abdullah the Butcher: Legacy of Blood," we look at the man who was extreme before extreme was cool (with the great Mick Foley singing his influential praises) and whose career spanned a half-century – and a lifetime of blood that would eventually take its toll on Abdullah the Butcher. In the following clip, we learn from Abdullah's family just how much he was willing to do – even at a young age – to make sure the family had a roof over its head and food on the table. And how teaching self-defense to senior citizens became the spark that light his wrestling career.
