What irritates me most about this is the fact that his entire story is that somebody ruined his dream by taking liberties with other people's safety and yet that's exactly what he did. Hell this is even worse than what Abdullah did to him. What Abduallah did was negligence at worst. This was an intentional conscious decision to do this to an innocent man. And he did it at a show promoted as a family event in a non hardcore match with freakin' Carlito. I would be amazed if he didn't kill the promotion along with his career. Seeing the footage, I do believe that the spot itself was planned, but obviously not what happened.

Yeah, but how did that ref feel about Kevin Owens wrestling in a t-shirt?

I've heard people saying that it was a work. Even if it was and it was a way for Hannibal to drum up some heel heat, that's not the way to go about doing it. I mean, shoving a spike to pierce the skin on his head? What the hell? That poor ref looked absolutely frightened out of his wits. I do not believe that this was a planned spot. I think him possibly attacking the ref was planned, but not with a spike and cutting his face up like scrimshaw. This was at a family-orientated event, no less.

The biggest mistake Invader I did was not killing Brody in the ring, image the heel heat he would have gotten, and anyone who thought it was real, they'd call a mark.

I don't buy any of that. If you can see well enough in that mask to wrestle an entire match without hurting anybody, you can see well enough to do something this basic. Also, I think you'd be able to tell the spike was making contact... Yeah, watching it, I don’t even think he buys it. Got carried away or had it out for the guy for whatever reason but reckless is reckless. This doubling down stuff is only going to damage whatever good-will he had left.

As long as there's an aging wrestler he will pay to do shoots, he'll be alright. As long as he can give a small time promoter an ounce of "name value" for a low price, he'll keep getting work. As noted, it's ironic given what happened with Abdullah what is happening here. But even more, it's sad.

It seems, at least to me, that he has deleted the tweet

I'm pretty sure that any contract, written or implied, in which his opponent agrees to a near-certain injury or harm would be thrown out in court, if it came to that. No contract trumps fundamental human rights.

I used to be subscribed to his channel because he had some genuinely great interviews with people you just never heard from anymore. After the whole incident with a fan attacking Seth Rollins, he jumped on the bandwagon of guys calling him a pussy and not a real man because he'd said he feared for his life. "Oh, I was a bouncer at a bar and I dealt with guys far more dangerous than that and I never acted like a pussy about it." That made me unsubscribe. And hearing about this makes me glad this guy isn't profiting off my views anymore. What a f***ing tool.

He deleted the video on his youtube channel explaining his side of the story. Likely because he was getting comments of people calling BS at him. The referee he did it too as been posting updates, the most recent that he got an affection from it. He says it was from some gold paint and not Hep C. The fact as someone said he worked a whole match with that mask on safely without hurt someone. Yet he couldn't tell if a spike was hitting someone and couldn't see well with the target inches from you? Better yet the referee didn't say stop. As that referee posted saying hard to say something when in a choke hold and have a 300 pound guy on your back with a knee on him. This is not going to end well for Hannibal.

I hope both WWE and AEW blacklist him and forbid any of their wrestlers under contract from collaborating with his youtube channel if they have not already.
