I was a huge WWF fan as a kid thanks in part to guys like this. Just a great rogue’s gallery that often mimicked the daily headlines. Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, and the rest of the good guys would have to save America from Rowdy Roddy Piper, The Iron Shiek, and others.

RIP Shiek. Great entertainer.

Honestly I can’t even watch modern wrestling. I do still watch wrestling from the 80’s and 90’s on Peacock though.

That Camel Clutch was one of the most lethal moves I've ever seen.

Remember him and the Russian Tag Team? Everyone loved to hate them. But I still liked watching Piper talk smack better.

You’re right. Wrestling is like baseball now to me. The classic stuff is much better.

Remember the Persian Club workout/challenge? 75 lbs each, Iron Sheik was country strong.

I used to love putting my friends in it when we were wrestling as kids.

Great Wrestler and heel. Never got a chance to see him in person. Watched him his entire time in WWE though. Always entertaining. Always made me BOOOOO when he came out. They don't make wrestlers like that any more.
