The Iron Sheik loving rules and even though it wasn't him on Twitter, it owns that he was like that, and I fully believe that if he DID do his own Twitter, the feed would probably look very similar. RIP to a real one, Sheik you legend. FACK The Hulk Hogan, worse than Michael Jordan-er, Jackson.

Sheik is one of those guys who I thought would live forever. Incredible wrestler, hilarious shoot interview, an absolute icon. This one stings.DJExile posted:RIP Sheik and god drat do I hope those sad sacks that have been running his twitter as if it was him for like 15 years now finally give it up They included themselves in the announcement message so I doubt it, but apparently they were his nephews and he didn't. Having a social media manager isn't that weird but you can tell they started it young and just kept going, and it got obnoxious at times. Still funny at other times. Agreed though, hope they give it up and it doesn't become another weird ghoul account of a dead guy.

What's the oldest Sheik match available on the internet? Bryan on WOL was talking about seeing some old Sheik match and being baffled at how spry he was (maybe just comparative to his WWF run), and now I'm curious about seeing that myself.

Never forget the Bruno story about brawling with six football players backstage and the only person who ran in to help him out was the iron shiek, who was buck naked because he was in the middle of taking a shower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oLtJIx9ghM sorry it was 1 football player and 5 other dudes Ringo Roadagain fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Jun 7, 2023 |

the first time i watched it i didnt quite know who was who because the sheik is rick rude style cut in it. I always remembered him being a thicker dude. I kinda wanna find his njpw stuff, a match with fujinami and him sounds tasty.

I mean, there's the one infamous clip that got this whole Sheik era started, which I just went back to watch in memoriam and it was posted to YouTube 17 years ago (Jesus gently caress) which means it might've been recorded in like, 2004 or some poo poo. Of course that doesn't make it OKAY but like, even 17 years ago (posted to YouTube March 11, 2006)...the SA of 2006 would probably make most of us cringe out of our skin pretty regularly.

Aww jeez, that sucks. I hadn't thought about Droz in a while, but a friend yesterday was asking me about injuries in wrestling and we did a little mini dive into his story. RIP Droz. There will never be another puking gimmick in wrestling again.

He looked so good in DSOTR and he always seemed to keep his head up. I hope that he's remembered not only as a tragedy but in his own way as a triumph. Very sad, at only 54. RIP

One of the few undeniably good things Vince ever did or will do in his capacity as a wrestling promoter was taking care of Droz and his family for life after that accident, getting Droz an office job doing something I don't remember, and continued to cover medical insurance and Droz's medical bills.
