Hannibal TV is not buying the idea that Abdullah the Butcher is broke, sick, helpless, or anything close to a poor old wrestling legend with nothing left.
After The Hannibal TV posted what appeared to be an extremely unflattering photo of Abdullah in bed on June 24, 2026, Devon “Hannibal” Nicholson followed up with a video where he unloaded on Abdullah all over again. This time, one of the biggest shots was about money. The original Facebook post was already brutal. Hannibal posted what appeared to be Abdullah in rough condition and used the caption to drag him straight into hell.
“Abdullah the Butcher spending his final days literally rotting to death before he is sent off to hell for all the evil he has done in his life:”
That post came from years of hatred tied to Nicholson’s hepatitis C lawsuit against Abdullah. Hannibal has said the 2007 incident cost him a WWE opportunity, forced him through years of medical problems, and led to a massive judgment that he still has not fully collected.
In the follow-up video, Hannibal made it clear he does not believe Abdullah is broke. He accused him of hiding money, playing poor, and making plenty of cash under the table through wrestling, autograph appearances, and Japan bookings.
“I don’t believe he’s poor either. This guy is an expert of hiding money. He play, he plays a good poor person, but he is an expert of hiding money. Most of his money was made under the table. When he does autograph sessions, it’s all under the table. Money. In Japan, they always pay US dollars cash. He was one of the highest paid wrestlers in the history of Japanese wrestling. And he wrestled up until his 70s.”
That was not just a random insult. Hannibal tied it directly to the judgment he says Abdullah has avoided paying. Nicholson has claimed the original Canadian judgment was $2.3 million and is now around $3 million with interest. He also said Abdullah sold properties between the Canadian judgment and the U.S. execution of that judgment.
Hannibal is clearly not buying any sad-story defense. In his version of events, Abdullah did not just hurt him physically and professionally. Hannibal believes Abdullah also dodged paying what the court said he owed.
That is why the video came off so nasty. Hannibal was not just attacking Abdullah’s health or legacy. He was accusing him of playing broke while sitting on hidden money and avoiding responsibility for years.
Hannibal TV clearly has no interest in letting Abdullah the Butcher fade away quietly. He wants the wrestling world to remember the lawsuit, the judgment, and his claim that Abdullah still has money hidden somewhere while refusing to pay him.
Do you believe Hannibal’s accusation that Abdullah the Butcher hid money to avoid paying the judgment, or is this just another brutal shot in a feud that never cooled off? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know what you think.
