RIP The Iron Shiek has passed away

Rest in power to the savage.
He broke lifes back and made it humble.
 
I never got if Sheik really hated Hogan or if he was just sticking to kayfabe. Hogan was all over the recent sheik documentary and was very complimentary of the Iron Sheik.

RIP one of the all time great heels.
 
RIP to Sheik.

There's an argument that Hulkamania, and therefore WWF, doesn't become what they become if not for Sheik. Respect.
Hogan could've won that belt from anyone and Hulkamania would've taken off along with the whole WWF. No knock on Shiek but that's the facts.
 
Iron Shiek was great in and outside of wrestling. You never knew if he was working or shooting in interviews.
 
His appearances on Opie and Anthony were hilarious.

 
Please no, Shieky baby. Rip.
 
The Iron Sheik was a good wrestler and talker. A former WWF world champion. He was a legend in the ring. Good wars with Hogan, Slaughter, Backlund.
