The Iron Sheik
Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri, better known to the world as the Iron Sheik, has sadly passed away at the age of 81. He was one of the original professional wrestlers that made pro wrestling what it is today, having played a fierce rival to Sgt. Slaughter and Hulk Hogan. The man was perfect as a heel, but the reality was that he was a good man. He wasn't a perfect man, having had trouble with drugs and the law in the past. But he was well loved and respected by his colleagues and the wrestling fans all over the world.
"Never give up or you are big time jabroni."
The Iron Sheik (1942-2023)
Rest in peace, legend.
