The top 13 peole the Iron Sheik hates

[riley-o]

remember when hogan headbutted the iraqi flag, man what a glorious day for freedom from injustice

[Turd Murder]

My sister and her husband used to live in Atlanta, and one year taking a flight up north, my brother-in-law recognized the Iron Sheik, flying in coach but completely conspicuous as one would imagine the Iron Sheik shoved into an airplane seat would be. He works up his nerve to approach him and ask him for an autograph, and the Shiek obliges, pulling out an 8x10 glossy of him, Goldberg, and the Big Show all smiles, with the caption reading 'Three World Champions'. The Sheik tells him he'd be happy to sign two photos for him, but at the cost of two drinks from the stewardess and her drink cart. My bro in law obliges, and I still have the picture somewhere in my archive, and he still tells the goddamn story, especially how utterly shitfaced the Sheik was already. Fuck, I'm retelling it here, living vicariously through him, so I guess it's golden.

The moral of the story: the Iron Sheik is godlike in word and deed.

holy shit i can't believe they even let that guy on airplanes...

I was mad at Savage when he crushed Steamboat's throat with the bell. But I got over it.

I've decided that having a real-life feud with Hulk Hogan is like a get-out-of-jail-free card for me. I was going to say that nobody fucks with Steamboat and gains my forgiveness... but then I remembered about Savage calling out Hogan through the medium of hip-hop.

Just like, after Montreal, I fucking hated Shawn Michaels... right up until that match where he made Hogan look stupid with ridiculous overselling.

come on, like you'd stop him?

checklist for Mr. Riley Osborne:

[eyehatethehumanrace]

You probably hated the Honkey Tonk Man too you faggot.

not really. he was alright.

[eyehatethehumanrace]

how some of you can idolize someone like this bewilders me.

Tell me rat boy, who should I idolize?

I don't know, sure its all smoke and mirrors but to me Iron Sheik was a bad guy.

You do know that wrestling storylines and characters are mostly fictional, right? The Iron Sheik was SUPPOSED to be a bad guy...

uh, yeah. I've watched wrestling since I was a kid. personally (at least back then) I wasn't too fond of him.

if you hated him as a kid, that's probably a good sign that he was doing his job well

well, the past is the past.

That makes no fucking sense as a response in this discussion. It's just a barely relevant saying that people only say when they want other people to forgive them for something but it doesn't work as it only makes said other people want to punch them in the face.

So you hate Human Race? Iron Sheik will Camel Clutch you. Humble you way he humble many human race men. I do good job so you hate me? In Old Country, half heads like you thrown off cliff at birth. Only STRONG men!

[Tony Twist]

You probably hated the Honkey Tonk Man too you faggot.

I could listen to him talk all day long.

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

[zombiehead]

[doomeddisciple]

Is he still the longest reigning intercontinental champion of all time?

[Tony Twist]

I know there's a ton of these but this made me laugh good.

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Leftover beer is for dog! Not for legend, the Sheik!

[Tony Twist]

Is he still the longest reigning intercontinental champion of all time?

Yeah, I think so.

[zombiehead]

Is he still the longest reigning intercontinental champion of all time?

yep

the closest wrestler to ever come close to that title since the Attitude-era was the Rock for 265 days..

It sort of just hit me how strange the institution of the shoot video is. It spun off from what it once was into a whole genre through which professional wrestlers talk shit about people. Strange.

Yeah, they used to have to act out their characters even when they were out and about in their everyday lives, well, to a point. Ted Dibiase had to act rich at all times, Rick Martel had to hate Tito Santana at all times, all that kind of shit.


Still, you get awesome gems like this thanks to shoots and the internet:




I suppose he can be a phoney though in real life too.

[F/K/A HAPF]

The shoots with Raven and Honky Tonk rule.

[BUNGVOX]

honky tonk man
iron shiek
jim cornette

these are the true staight shooters in wrestling today.

they tell it like it is and make no fucking appologies.

[riley-o]

i laughed so fucking hard at this exchange. i can't even tell you how much i love the idea of being at a point where you finally let bygones be bygones over things that a professional wrestler, someone you've never met jofa, someone no one you know has ever met, pretended to do to someone else you have never met. that is absolutely fucking classic shit right there.

holy fuck i can't stop laughing about this. jesus christ that's amazing.

you know what ? i'm going to be the bigger man here and turn the other cheek on what the iron sheik did to hulk hogan. that was a long time ago and i need to let it go so i can move on with my life.

[Wang Mandu]

You're an asshole riley. The man forgives and all you do is mock him.

Stallone, another winning thread.

[soiled depends]
