The Iron Sheik, WWE superstar, dead at 81, comments ? 🖤
I remember him very well. His 1983 match with Bob Backlund was an instant classic. He had feuds with other notables, such as Hulk Hogan, and Andre The Giant. The Iron Sheik, dead at age 81. Your thoughts on this legend. 🤔

Rest in Peace. While serving in the Army and stationed in Atlanta, Georgia a Golds Gym gave discounted memberships to military personnel. I walked into the Gym one afternoon and there was the Iron Sheik spotting Hulk Hogan on the bench press, the Australian Sheep Hurder was there working out with the guys that were up and coming and getting pummeled in that night's show in Atlanta. They were there just to get pumped up, hit a press deal, and mostly to score on the women that gave me no time of day for being a lowly soldier. Circa 1988.
Yes, I remember and that is when big time wrestling was entertaining.
They were really nice guys in real life, gracious really from what you think they would have been.
