Worst in the World: Abdullah the Butcher vs Zeus-Capitol Sports Promotions 17th Aniversario 1990

Now, granted, that number isn't as bad as it seems, as all but one of them is under 10 minutes (even if that one is over 15 minutes.) But that's still double the most matches I'd ever covered in one post. However, I'm up for the challenge, so here we go. Scott Hall would make his return to the WWF after nearly six years away at 2002's No Way Out. Alongside Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash, the nWo was officially par
