Top Comments of this video!! :3
Growing up watching this as a kid. Especially with the heated tension with Iran and events in the Middle East starting in the late 1970's carrying thru the 1980's. The Iron Sheik had legitimate heat and skills. Now, many years later. He's in my top 10 favorites of all time. Entertaining promos. Just looking back makes me smile to watch that whole era unfold. Them boots🤣🤣🤣🤣, he was an integral part of the success of WWF in the 80's.

My favorite of all time. He was the ultimate bad guy when the fans would fall for the patriotism stuff in Wrestling. Get him and Nikolai Volkoff waving russian and iranian flags, and a couple guys waving american flags, and you instantly had a feud. And it worked because the Sheik was the best at making the fans do what he wanted. He held the crowd in his hand. He spit, he was violent...perfect and an innovator. RIP to the best
