I've been chasing Tenyu for many, many years. Now I've finally got the chance, to come to Japan, and fight Tenyu. He's not hungry no more! But I'm here to beat him up! I'm gonna beat him up with my fork! With my fist! And I have something beautiful for Tenyu.

[He reaches down and picks up his fork]

Ah... he never felt the fork, but he's going to feel it! I'm going to make sure, that this keeps going into his head, into his back, into his stomach! I'm going to SHOVE IT ALL THE WAY UP HIS ASS! TENYU! COME AFTER ME! I'M COMING FOR YOU! I DREAM ABOUT YOU! I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT, BUT I'M COMING TENYU! I'M HERE IN JAPAN NOW TENYU! TENYU! I'M NOT WORRYING ABOUT THESE OTHER LITTLE, PEOPLE WHO YOU GOT AROUND YOU. I'm going to stop you, Tenyu. I'm going to stop you. TEN YEARS AGO! You made a statement. I have never forgot the statement which you made. I remember you in Atlanta, Georgia, when you were hungry! [The Butcher smiles] You didn't beat me then, and you're not going to beat me now. C'mon, Tenyu. Taste it. Taste the fork. [The Butcher pantomimes eating with the fork] The Butcher is eating you now. C'mon, Tenyu. C'mon... C'mon..."

[10.0] "This promo is beautiful. Absolutely stunning. There will never be another like Abdullah the Butcher. His delivery here is a masterclass in unfiltered passion, emotion, and, somehow, the English language itself. As Abby grows more flustered, his voice climbs into that unmistakable high-pitched near-falsetto, and it's genuinely my jam. The central mystery he's fired up about, the statement Tenryu made a decade earlier, hooks you instantly. Whatever Genichiro Tenryu said clearly lodged itself deep in Abby's mind, because the way he recalls it ("I'm gonna shove a fork all the way up his ass, I ain't ever gonna forget that! ") is unforgettable in its own right. Also, as a fun fact: Tenryu actually asked foreign wrestlers to call him "Tenyu, " believing it would be easier for them to pronounce. It's the reason Dory Funk Jr. and Stan Hansen addressed him that way during his retirement ceremony; a small detail that only adds to the charm of hearing Abdullah say it. This promo has become a running joke among those who encounter it, a strangely romantic soliloquy about Abby dreaming of his rival. It's passionate, bizarre, hilarious, and iconic. It will forever be etched into my frontal lobe."

[10.0] "This is beautiful, absolutely stunning, There will never be another like Abdullah The Butcher. I need to know what statement Tenyu made ten years ago, because I am just enthralled with whatever made Abby remember what he said. Gonna shove a fork all the way up his ass, I ain't ever gonna forget that. Five Stars."

[10.0] ""I DREAM ABOUT YOU, I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT! TENYU! " Abdullah the Butcher puts on another masterclass in the English language. The high-pitched near-falsetto of his voice as he gets more and more flustered is my jam. By the way, fun fact: Genichiro Tenryu told all the foreign wrestlers he worked with to call him "Tenyu, " because he thought that would be easier for them to pronounce. It's why Dory Funk Jr and Stan Hansen called him that in his retirement ceremony. Anyways, this is one of the most passionate promos of Abdullah's career. A running joke with anyone who comes across it, this secretly romantic promo about Abby dreaming of his foe will forever be etched into my frontal lobe."

[6.0] "It's crazy how much of a disconnect there is between Abdullah's insane presentation and his relatively normal voice. Despite that, Abdullah does a good job of coming across as a intimidating force."

[7.0] "Lmao, I've always seen clips of this promo and happy to see it included here. Abby's soft-spoken voice compared to his brutal matches are always so funny to me. I love Abby's promos in Japan, from his botched pronunciations of Tenryu and Goto, to the introduction to the fork, it's a fun time."
