We lost a #ProWrestling and Twitter legend The Iron Sheik. We share some of our favorite tweets, stories and legends about the late
icon.
Per WikiPedia:
Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri (March 15, 1942 – June 7, 2023), better known
by his ring name The Iron Sheik, was an Iranian professional wrestler,
amateur wrestler, and actor. He was the only Iranian champion in WWE
history, having won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in 1983.
This villainous character peaked during the 1980s WWF wrestling boom and
his rivalry with Hulk Hogan turned Hogan into one of the greatest
television heroes of the decade. He later formed a tag team with Nikolai
Volkoff, which won the WWF Tag Team Championship at the inaugural
WrestleMania event. In 2005, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
A heel throughout the 1980s, Sheik later gained popularity on Twitter
and the Internet due to his shoot interviews, vulgar language, and
apparent intense dislike for some of his fellow professional wrestlers,
particularly Hogan and Brian Blair; however, the true nature of his
relationship with Hogan has been a subject of debate.
