And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Wrestled in Japan as well doing hardcore stuff way earlier than you'd expect:

you reminded me that while he's known to this day, and also a scumbag, Abdullah the Butcher played a huge part too

Bruiser Brody as well but he wasn't a scumbag like Abdullah, though temperamental would fit
