Just seen the news about The Iron Sheik. If you wanna talk characters in wrestling you won’t find many larger than life than him. A proper all-timer.

Thoughts with his friends and family.

Love Mr Sheik! So many good times. He thought my name was Brad Shaw, two names. He met my dad and said “ah, Mr Shaw, your boy Brad is such a fine young man”. Love you Mr Sheik. RIP you legend. https://t.co/sjHpx2pukX

Iron Sheik had a huge influence in my career. Back in FCW ( WWE DEVELOPMENTAL SYSTEM )DAYS I had no idea about speaking on the microphone. then i went and studied his ability and that’s where things started to turn. Legit wrestler, pro wrestler and amazing entertainer. RIP
