Abdulla vs NWA champ Gene Kiniski

   Remember seeing Abdulla take on the NWA champ Gene Kiniski at the bigger building next to the Gardens on the Pacific National Exhibition grounds. There was a big crowd. Best 2 out of 3. Abdulla had his way & took the 1st fall. Kiniski was in such pain as Abdulla hit him with everything except the kitchen sink. Chops throat jabs elbows kicks. Infact Kiniski was still down when the bell rang to start the 2nd fall. Again Kiniski was being battered by the Butcher & I thought for sure a new champ would be crowned. Then outside the ring Kiniki rammed Abdulla's head into the iron post. Adulla's head was so split open that the ring doctor stopped the match. Kiniski retained his title.
   Abdulla when in Vancouver in the 1960's was quite trim as I htink his weight was about 260. He would fly high in the air & ram his elbow across the chest area of his next losing victim. Also remember he had a tag team partner for awhile named Dr. Jerry Graham. A great team. Matches against Don Leo Jonathan were great. Abdulla remember Jesus loves you. Take care.

   i always enjoyed your matches,you should be in the wrestling hall of fame

I REALLY ENJOYED

   I ENJOYED THE ATMOSPHERE.
   SAT DOWN AND TALKED TO ABDULLAH HE TOLD ME A FEW JOKES
   HAHA THE FOOD WAS GOOD. IT WAS WORTH EVERY RED CENT

an experience...

   it's not the best BBQ i've had, but it's certainly not the worst. the atmosphere alone of being in the premise of the living legend of hardcore is half the experience. if you are a wrestling fan, it's a must see. more of an attraction than a place to rate on superb quality, but it's more than edible!

BBQ

   I'm a huge fan of BBQ. I love ribs, brisquit, etc. I live in the Minnesota, Duluth area and we don't have that many ribs places. I'm also a huge wrestling fan as well.

   this is probably my 5th time eating this meal there and i was UTTERLY DISSAPPOINTED !!!
   
   I always order the same thing
   RIB TIPS FAMILY MEAL for the family person ...$25.91 w/tax
   the meat was Horrible....you would think that on Valentines Day the meat would be Fresh ...but this was the worst ..TOUGH AND ROUGH...i was so DISSAPPOINTED...never will eat there again...after the rough meat incident ...thats bad !!!

AWESOME!

   I was down for the count after tasting this food. Cool premise and good eats!
