AWA June 25, 1982 Peoria IL. Abdullah The Great & Ali Hassan vs. Spike Huber & Steve Regal - No Contest From the way WrestlingData had the links for the 6/5/82 title win, the WWA alias for Jack Kruger was Ali Hassan while Abdullah the Great had also worked as Buster Adams elsewhere. Kruger is listed as both Hassan and Sheik Abdullah at the start of 1983 in Portland. There seems to be a period around September 1983 where results of Central States cards with the Abdullah name alternately link to Kruger's page as well as to the Adams profile on WD. Kruger was a talented guy with somewhat a serviceable journeyman quality so I'm more likely to think he's the one in Central States. Buster Adams' career seems to be as a homesteader for Bruiser who probably didn't aspire to be much more. My guess is WD has it wrong for some Central States results and it should be attributed to Kruger, as it's unlikely they'd be putting two men on their payroll for one gimmick. TV footage might bear this point out.

Sorry for the confusion. I think it is just Jack Kruger, and sometimes he went by Sheik Abdullah, other times Abdullah the Great, and then Sheik Abdullah the Great, depending on how the paper wrote it up. I tried to keep it straight, and use just one name, but I failed to do so.
Check out the 1/21/84 Central States TV Show on youtube. It has a match with Sheik Abdullah the Great.
