The Iron Sheik is the man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K-wEUCCvE0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn8EXLolskM
Amazing that in 20-25 years that dude's English still hasn't improved any. I think I counted 435 references to "I break your back" and 2085 references to "lucky" in that interview.
This guy was on the Opie & Anthony Show a few months back and it was absolutely hilarious. Much like these videos. He kept screaming "tree time double doubble elf champlon of the worlds"
He was supposed to be on the Opie & Anthony show about 3 or 4 years ago, but got held up at the airport by security because they thought he was a terrorist with the way he dressed (huh?) and he seemed suspicious. lol.
Does anyone remember Mr. Wrestling II? He was on around the same time as the Iron sheik, JYD, Kamala the Ugandan giant and all that. He was one of the masked wrestlers. The best thing about Mr. Wrestling II is that he was clearly old and out of shape. he flabby skin, and gray chest hairs. But of course in the hype he was spoken of as someone to be feared. Those were the days.
FB, Part of the problem with wrestling fans of today is that they use today as a barometer of what a wrestler should look like. Most of these guys nowadays are so hopped up on roids it's sickening. You think Mr. Wrestling II looked bad? You shoulda seen guys like Killer Tim Brooks. That dude looked like a drunk pot-belly biker who hadn't taken a bath in weeks that got thrown in the ring. Back then "tough guys" were guys you'd think of when you think of bars, or street alleys, or gang fights. Nowadays the "tough guys" look like comic book characters. When did you watch Mr. Wrestling II, btw? In his prime he actually had a pretty good physique. Of course the guy started wrestling in the 50's... lol.
More Sheik greatness http://ironsheikhateslesbians.ytmnd.com/ WWE should hire him back as a manager and just let him say whatever he wants!!!
aaaah the good old days of wrestling. you gotta go get the triple dvd "Wrestling stars of the 80's" plenty more of the the Sheik, plus Rowdy Roddy Piper, Andre the Giant, Superfly Snuka etc
I didn't know which old thread to bump, but I guess this one focus mostly on the sheik. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R7IdaSlpIN8"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R7IdaSlpIN8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Not safe for work. or your bedroom, kitchen, living room.

My personal winner for aged and out of shape wrestlers was Jose Lothario on Houston Wrestling. I don't know what his workout regimen was, but donuts played a crucial role.
