RIP Iron Sheikh. If I remember correctly, Sheikh was part of the Shah’s bodyguard thus him needing to get out of when the mullahs took over.

I met him at Dragon Con in Atlanta, a week and a half before 9/11 happened. Seemed like a pretty decent fellow in spite of his in-ring reputation for being a heel (pro-wrestling term for bad guy character).

Sheikh v. Sargent Slaugher was one of the best story lines.

Professional Wrestling isn’t fake, the moves and the holds and the occasional injuries are real. But the outcome of the matches is determined in advance.
To: Ciaphas Cain
His finishing move: the infamous Camel Clutch. You didn’t mess around with the Sheik.
To: Ciaphas Cain
81 years old is quite an impressive age for a TV wrestler to live to.

I remember him. Decades ago, he symbolized part of
“The Axis of EVIL”, aka GHWB term referring to Iran, Iraq and
Nort Korea.

Piper and the Sheik were two of my favorites. Both gone.

Sheik v. Sargent Slaugher was one of the best story lines.They used it to turn Slaughter into a "face." His "Boot Camp" matches against the Sheik were classics.
