The Iron Sheik has passed away at 81


His twitter account has had this pinned at the top for 5 years now. Perfectly sums up his character.

 

An absolute WWE legend. I spent many a Saturday morning cheering against him, loved every minute of it.

Go Verne Gagne!!
 


When I was 7, my Dad took me to a show at Centennial HS that he headlined with Baron von Raschke. The Sheik was submitted by Baron with "The Claw" and all was right in America for another evening.

One of the great characters in pro wrestling history.
