I love The Iron Sheik one of the best legit wrestlers ever and I am proud to call him my friend. I talk with him often. He is in a wheelchair now days and that's why he does not travel anymore.. His spirit is good and he is enjoying being home with his wife and grandchildren. He is drug free now and enjoying life. One of a kind and their will never be another like him.

Iron sheik was a Vince senior guy. Vince junior always was loyal to the talent that was loyal to his family. That’s why certain guys always had a place in wwf/e no matter what era

Vince took really good care of some of the guys/gals who worked for his dad and worked for him early on in the company and would bring them back a lot to do various skits n stuff.
