R.I.P the Iron Sheik, I hope Sgt Slaughter is paying respect by having a flag at half-mast for you.

Oh oh oh ohhhhh, everywhere where we go, watching super County putting on a show!

I used to listen to him regularly on YouTube. He used to feature a lot in interviews - much like Dutch Montell.

Nothing in wrestling beats watching the golden era of wrestling which he was very much a part of. I'm actually a little taken back by the news. I grew up liking Hulk Hogan, but other years I have learned more to respect people like the Iron Sheik because he told things like it is. Rest in Peace, Iron Sheik.

@Chris you're right he told it how it is. He could certainly work in interviews. He's a wrestler you had to dislike, due to him being a heel, but as you say you begin to take a liking to wrestlers like Sheik and what they did.

Rest in Peace, the Iron Sheik. The camel clutch looked a real finisher when he hooked wrestlers back, unlike some of the modern submission movies.

A true wrestler from the territory days of wrestling, where they wrestled in different promotions and moved around which helped them improve. A true legend of wrestling!

Rest in Peace, Iron Sheik.

Very saddening news, has the cause been announced or mentioned? I assume it's natural causes? Rest in Peace the great sheik.

When people ask what 'American Pie' is about, they're missing the point. The song isn't about the lines themselves - it's about what is between the lines. The song is about what isn't there.

I have never been a big of wrestling, but I remember the mid to late 80s and remember the Iron Sheik. May he rest in peace.
