Imperial Iranian Solider, Bodyguard to the Shah, Olympic alternate, Flees Iran on pain of death, 2 x Asst Olympic Coach for the USA, AAU Greco-Roman wrestling champion and gold medalist. All BEFORE a 37 year professional career ! What a life The Iron Sheik lived !
I'm not sure what I like more, the Camel Clutch itself, or the way he would shove his opponent into the mat when he broke the hold. Sheik was in a league of his own. An amazing athlete who will be sadly missed. May his memory be eternal.
@@mikkayosef8008 there must be another important step in there between breaking the back of the opponent and making the opponent humble. Which is ....
My favorite of all time. He was the ultimate bad guy when the fans would fall for the patriotism stuff in Wrestling. Get him and Nikolai Volkoff waving russian and iranian flags, and a couple guys waving american flags, and you instantly had a feud. And it worked because the Sheik was the best at making the fans do what he wanted. He held the crowd in his hand. He spit, he was violent...perfect and an innovator. RIP to the best
Ironically, that patriotism stuff rubbed me the wrong way, because I had opened my eyes to the inconsistencies of US foreign and domestic policies, and I actually started rooting for the anti-American patriot wrestlers. The Iron Sheik with his "Iran number one, USA, haaawk ptooo" was golden. But the absolute best was in the UWF when the Russians beat up Cowboy Bill Watts then draped the Soviet Flag over his unconscious body. Meanwhile, Sting and Rock (Ultimate Warrior) as the Bladerunners were fighting off the help while all that stuff was going on in the ring. I tell ya ... those were the best days of wrestling. YT has a video of it. If you never saw it before, it's certainly worth watching.
@@shahul8222 It's too bad that they don't have the recap before the commercial break, when they showed it in slow motion while Sting's (the musician from the Police) song "Russians" was playing. LOL. I still remember like it was yesterday. That episode was EPIC!
My first ever live wrestling event as a kid. Iron Sheik and Nikolia Volkoff vs. Sgt. Slaughter and The Junkyard Dog at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in 1984. Epic match. Rest in peace brother.
Rest in peace Sheik, not only do we know him as the crazy old man telling people to go F themselves and flipping them off but also an Iranian icon, legend and fantastic heel in the wrestling business. 🇮🇷🤼♂️🙏🕊
God bless his soul and his poor daughter!! True legend that was and is and probably will be under appreciated in the “land of the Free and brave”…. Merriccaaaaa

Growing up watching this as a kid. Especially with the heated tension with Iran and events in the Middle East starting in the late 1970's carrying thru the 1980's. The Iron Sheik had legitimate heat and skills. Now, many years later. He's in my top 10 favorites of all time. Entertaining promos. Just looking back makes me smile to watch that whole era unfold. Them boots🤣🤣🤣🤣, he was an integral part of the success of WWF in the 80's.
I can'tt speak for him as to WHY he loved America. I would guess it was because he had a chance to pursue any opportunity he wanted in America, which certainly was not the case in Iran. But the best evidence the he loved America is the once he did get out of Iran, he could have gone anywhere, he came to America and stayed in america.@@Keyhan-c8c
This man was an icon. He embodied the heart of 1980’s wrestling. He leaves us with amazing memories as a trailblazer in the WWF. We love you shieky baby!
Every hero is only as good as his villain. When you were going against the Sheik, you knew you were gonna be elevated into the stratosphere because the fans were automatically on your side. They wanted to see him lose and you were their hope to take him out. RIP Sheik. You were the "necessary evil" to our heroes. You knew your place, you knew your role, and you performed it admirably.
One thing you have to know that, the Iron Sheik was probably one of the ONLY people in WWE that never used roids. As stated by Hulk Hogan, none of them can lift his clubs since he was much MUCH stronger than them, due to no steroid use.
That makes no sense. You can’t be stronger than someone due to not using steroids. Those clubs are all about technique - if you don’t know it you won’t be able to use them, steroids or not.
Bob Backlund, Jake the Snake, Greg Valentine….Andre, of course… I could probably name a bunch that didn’t. Most of the juicers came after Hulk Hogan/the muscle beach era. Before that most of the guys were wrestlers/athletes who were strong, quick, and skilled but didn’t have the visual appeal the huge bodybuilders like Hogan or Warrior did. Before it was Pro-Wrestling, it was Catch wrestling, people liked training in the sport, but just did these shows for money
sorry to burst your bubble and no disrespect to the legend but iron sheik DEFINITELY used Roids. He said so in an interview he was on "Deca"(Decadurablin) and probably Testosterone. It was just the times, they were ALL on roids.
Man... as a kid watching guys like this, I didn't realize or truly appreciate the level of greatness that was on display in that Era. Will never be the same.
That is a great point made in the video. Hogan's victory over Iron Sheik was so great not because of Hogan alone, it was MORE because Sheik made himself such an amazing heel. He was a genius.
Uncle Shieky Baby, A man who made it to the States & crossed over as one of the biggest heels in wrestling history alongside Superstar Billy Graham & Killer Kowalski, bringing the birth of Hulkamania & making wrestling cross over to the world. Had the pleasure watching the A&E doc on the man himself & how he was able to pull through his life & now he has made his mark peacefully. RIP to the Iron Shiek & condolences to his fams.
He brought one of the best characters that the WWF ever saw. This was the golden era for wrestling. Every kid had a IRON sheik wrestling doll as well as Hulk. He had people hating him so he played the character perfect.
at 1:30 he actually spits on the mic after his usa/hock tu thing. Somewhere there has to be a video where he actually spit on the mic then handed it back to the ring announcer, and the look on the ring announcers face as he had to take the mic back was priceless. I'd love to see that video. Funniest moment in wrestling ever.
Cheers to the greatest heel that has ever terrorized the squared circle. A universally beloved legend of professional wrestling. Rest well Sheik... and thank you.
The failure by the WWF to laud this man's returns to the organization in 1988 and 1991 is untenable. When he returned in 1988, he was barely given TV time. Then he's repackaged (like a 7-year-old boy hastily wrapping his Mother's Day gift with the Garfield comics 60 seconds before presentation) as the midcard Colonel Mustafa in 1991 and jobbed into obscurity by mid-1992. Guy's a heel legend. Highlights of my youth including standing for the Soviet National Anthem when Sheik would team with the late Nikolai Volkoff.
Well, he then went on to WCW. I guess they used him for like a month, realized that his knees were blown out so they sidelined him for his entire contract. The story I have heard is that his contract came up and had automatic renewal and WCW didn't notice so Sheik got it flipped over and got another couple of years of pay to sit home and do nothing.
@@jlobiafraI like Roddy Piper better as a babyface, don't get me wrong he was good as a heel but the problem was that acting was ridiculous and OTT that it's hard to boo him.
Wow! It sure was the 80's wasn't it??!!! Nowadays they won't let you in with a sign like that or they would surely make that racist person either leave or give up the sign or both!
My grandparents were from Iran, im Iranian Assyrian and one day i was watching wrestling and the Iron Sheik was cussing in Farsi, my grandma was like Mikey...what are you watching with all those bad words. Im like its the Iron Sheik Nana and hes Persian, from then on the whole family watched and rooted for the Iron Sheik, to us he was a hero!! I didnt like Hogan, i loved the Sheiki baby!!
The Iron Sheik was one of a kind. No one else is like him or has been like him. It’s too bad that he went so hard into drugs. I wish he was still around. RIP Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri. You will be missed for years to come yet.
RIP to the Sheik.. I had the pleasure of speaking with him on quite a few occasions in person. He autographed a photo of himself for me. Very nice guy. Definitely a legend.. He loved Hulk Hogan by the way...😂😂😂😂....yea right!!
Best heel I've ever seen everything about him was perfect for the time.And sgt slaughter made it all work perfect.Vince must have loved getting the iron sheik
Innani ilahi wa innani ilahi rajiun... May his soul rest in peace but his legacy still lives in our hearts as a fan of WWE... Go with Allah in heaven, the most Merciful and Benelovent, The Iron Sheikh
