My best friend has a head just like that, but it's not scars, it's just natural skin wrinkles. We never realized his scalp looked like that, either, until he shaved his head- now he tells people he carved them into his skull with a trowel, and half of them believe him.
Sooooo...in an ideal world these guys would be compensated fairly and not exploited for putting their bodies through so many years of unabated abuse...right, Mr. MacMahon?
Abdullah never worked for Vince McMahon, and only worked for WCW for a very short time. He was a special attraction in the old territory days, traveling from promotion to promotion doing one-off hardcore matches. Since every time he wrestled he was in a new city, his hardcore match was always new to the crowd and thus he had to go crazy night after night, taking a toll both mentally (the travel) and physically (self-inflicted hardcore stunts).
