We will have a thorough rundown of the career of the Iron Sheik (Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri) on Rewind-A-Dynamite tonight. With the attention he received during the national expansion boom,
He became a legendary character as many of those focal figures did during the era. It’s often forgotten due to the style of character he made famous, but in his earlier days,
he was a great wrestler and came from a strong Greco-Roman pedigree as an AAU champion prior to entering the industry.
There was a lot of folklore attached to the Iron Sheik, which wasn’t true but would be repeated so times that people accepted it as fact, such as competing in the Olympics (he was an assistant coach but never competed but less medaled).
He was part of the long line of wrestlers churned out by Verne Gagne and was part of Ric Flair’s class where Flair nearly quit until he was talked into returning. He wrestled many territories in the U.S. but his peak (much like Superstar Billy Graham) was in the WWF and his run with the championship lasted one month.
