Kevin Sullivan Doubts Abdullah The Butcher's Claim That He's Illiterate

WWE Hall of Famer Abdullah The Butcher recently told Click On Detroit that he doesn't have any money left after being hit with some legal issues. In 2014, he lost a $2.3 million lawsuit in Canada by default. And now, Abdullah's wife has seized control of his assets, including the deed to their home, which she changed to reflect her and her brother's name. This prompted Abdullah's godson, Esa Jeffries, to begin a GoFundMe campaign for him.

Abdullah has claimed that financial trouble stems from his inability to read and write, but one of Abullah's former colleagues isn't fully convinced. In a recent appearance on The Hannibal TV, Kevin Sullivan gave his take on Abdullah's current situation.

"I like Abdullah, but he's also trying to make you believe that [he's illiterate]. How did he travel all over the world if he couldn't read or write?" Sullivan questioned. "That's bull, because I'd go into a restaurant and I may not sit with him, but I'd see him order stuff and he was looking at a menu. I think he's just trying to skirt that issue with the lawsuit. But yeah, I don't buy that 100%. Maybe he's not the most voracious reader, but I think it's just a way to not pay a certain person the money that is due to them."

Though Sullivan has his doubts, Abdullah disclosed that he never received a true opportunity to read or write as his education stands at an elementary school level at best. His assistant and caretaker, Malikah Marshall, previously specified that Abdullah never went further than the second grade in school. Due to his lack of education, Abdullah believes people have taken advantage of him.
