I met him when I was 9 years old. One of the nicest guys I ever met. Made me a fan for life. Much nicer than some of the baby faces.

They weren’t tall men but they was thicc

Supposedly he was a badass IRL


He probably could have been an Olympian for Iran if Iran wasn't so screwed up.

He was an assistant coach for the US Olympic wrestling team.

RIP legend

Got paid $200k (almost $500k in 2023) by WCW to basically sit at home for 2 years.

East Park Recreation Center in Houma in 1981.

This was not long after the Iran Hostage Crisis.

He was not very popular that night. When he started waving the Iranian flag, I thought some locals were going to jump in the ring.

Rest in peace.

The best line about The Iron Sheik is when he was walking to the ring Bobby Herman said by the time he got there it would be Wrestlemania 38, it was Wrestlemania 17.
