[1976-12-09-AJPW] Abdullah the Butcher vs Billy Robinson

[Kronos]

You know how we [rightly] talk about Andre's mobility and actual wrestling skills in the little-seen 70's footage?

 

Yeah, that's not true for Abby in this match.

 

There ain't no rasslin here, except a couple of dropkicks and shoulder blocks from Robinson. It's just a brawl, 90% of it out of the ring. Abby dominates at the start, spend almost half the match-time keeping Robinson from even getting into the ring. They spend a minute or so in the right, where Billy gets to perform the afore-mentioned rassling moves. Then back out, with chair shots and overflowing into the crowd.

 

After a few minutes, Abdullah decides he's done and leaves. I am guessing they both got counted out

 

Robinson cuts an angry promo at the end, saying he'll fight the Butcher anytime anywhere and for no money. He seems genuinely pissed off.
