[VIDEO] Trailer for Don’t Bleed On Me Documentary Released
Posted by George H. Sirois on 04.02.2011
Featuring WWE Hall of Famers Superstar Billy Graham and Abdullah the Butcher
The trailer for a new documentary - Don't Bleed On Me - Wrestling's Hepatitis C Secret Revealed has been released on YouTube just in time for WrestleMania XXVII weekend. The film tells the story of Devon "Hannibal" Nicholson, a Canadian wrestler who tried for many years to get into the WWE. When he finally got the call that he was getting a developmental contract, he went to a family doctor for a physical and tested positive for Hepatitis C.
Nicholson claims that the only way he could have gotten this was by co-mingling his blood with new WWE Hall of Fame inductee Abdullah the Butcher.
Superstar Billy Graham appears in the video, where he talks about how Hepatitis C can lay dormant for years before it is found.
Inducting Abdullah The Butcher seemed odd to me initially, given the direction WWE has gone over the past decade, and now.... "atrocious" is the first word that comes to mind. I mean, its 2011 for f#cks sake... with all the bloodborne infectious diseases known about today, why in the blue hell is this man even still blading, let alone using the SAME BLADE to slice open his opponent. Just as Devon's contract offer was rescinded by WWE, so should Abdullah's invitation to the WWE Hall of Fame.
Yea yea, so he contributed to the business.... so have many others who aren't in Vince's HOF group. How anyone could watch this trailer, and not boo that b*stard out of the building tonight, Cena-style, is beyond me. ATB needs to step up NOW and provide medical evidence one way or another to clear this up.
...and "best wishes on your future endeavors" for whoever had the bright idea to induct this guy in the first place.

We don't know enough about his background to say it could only have come from Abby. The clip showed him doing some back yard wrestling. It's very possible that he picked it up then.
We only know his side of the story. I want more proof before condemning Abby for giving him HepC.

Not that I am advocating Abby's blading (especially with him blading peeps with the same blade who are unknowing of it) BUT (with the timing of it especially) this seems like a smear campaign against the WWE and Abdullah The Butcher. Especially that last bit on "Should the WWE induct..." that just screams "WE WANT ATTENTION!"
If anything, Abby shouldn't be inducted because he is FAR from PG, and never has been!

How many people in the "Hall of Fame" made a living cutting themselves and others to ribbons for decades? Dusty Rhodes, Freddie Blassie, Harley Race, Sgt. Slaughter, The Sheik, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Terry Funk etc, etc. Why pick on Abby now, other than to exploit his success? What a jerk.

The issue isn't blading in general. It's using the same blade you used on yourself on someone else a few minutes later and blading someone without permission (which Abdullah has done on many occasions).
As far as the timing goes, of course he'd do it now. If this story is on the up and up, then Devon Nicholson deserves all of the attention that he can get.
