The Iron Sheik Incident ? Work Or Shoot?

Question

Iron Shiek, is this whole persona a work or a shoot?, I heard a replay of him on the Howard Stern show, going off on The Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, a fake "Iron Shiek JR", as well as B Brian Blair. Is this all in good fun or is he seriously burning bridges?

Answer 1

If you've met him in person, then you know, this is how he really feels and thinks.

Answer 2

I do think that quite often he is dead serious with his rants and how he feels about certain individuals. I first meet him in the mid 70's when he was traveling with Danny Hodge in Oklahoma and weighed maybe 190 pounds and looked like a throughbred race horse. At that point in Sheik's life he had not been exposed to all the trappings on the road some of which have obviously had a negative influence on a man who was one of the most talented amatuers to ever migrate to pro wrestling.

Answer 3

he always has fun but not in wrestling he takes that serios

Answer 4

I don't know i haven't seen it,but it could VERY well be real.I remember watching Attack Of The Show once on G4 & there was a video of The Sheik at a coics convention along with The Ultimate Warrior & he & Warrior got into a BIG fight of course it was verbally,but Security had to break it up,and Sheik used some pretty bad langauge. So it most likely is REAL bad blood between those guys.

Answer 5

It is for real.

I red about that and he was totally dead serious but hearing that makes me laugh.

Answer 6

i think its partly real & partly a work.. 'coz some of his statements are apparently substantial & some just sounded absurd..
