Is this the same guy who defeated Bob Backlund for the WWF championship with his famed Camel Clutch?
I once came across the Iron Sheik (WWF wrestling) at a shopping mall. I asked him for his autograph for my wrestling fan brother.
After writing it, he asked me humbly if I could spare $5 so he could buy lunch!
Was that in his heyday in the 80s or just a year ago?

Aw man, tell me you didn't miss the chance to share lunch with you? You would have had a good time and a bunch of great stories to tell.
I once worked for a firm that had theatrical agents and small casting/audition spaces in NYC. Among the people I ran into was Roddy Piper and another big name wrestler, the name escapes me, big white bandito mustache. These guys were as nice as could be to the wannabe actresses and workers waiting for elevators. As Roddy turned to enter the elevator he glanced my way and said, " You look like you might have a career in the ring.". And mentioned the name of his agent in the building.
