Devon Nicholson Wins $2.3M Hepatitis C Lawsuit Over Abdullah the Butcher

We have been reporting all year on the legal case of pro wrestler Devon Nicholson, who wrestles as Hannibal in Eastern Canada and claimed he contracted Hepatitis C from being bladed by Larry Shreve, better known as WWE Hall of Famer Abdullah the Butcher in 2007. 

A judge ruled today that Nicholson did contract Hepatitis C and he was awarded a $2.3 million judgement against Shreve.

Nicholson was reportedly offered a three-year contract with WWE after a 2009 tryout camp but had his contract cancelled after WWE discovered he had hepatitis C.

In January 2014, Nicholson revealed experimental treatment cured him of hepatitis C.
