In an interview with Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw (via Wrestling Inc), Abdullah the Butcher spoke about a possible return to the ring, noting he has health issues he has to fix first. He said that he needed a hip replacement, but thinks there is interest in an in-ring return. Abdullah is currently 82 years old.
He said: “The people still want to see me. The only thing I need is my hip replacement. My body isn’t in tip-top shape, so the only thing I can do is autograph sessions, that’s all I can do. But, when I go have my operation, maybe at 93 I might step in the ring at 94, I mean 84.”
