Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 It is with a heavy heart that I must share the passing of the greatest wrestler and possibly the greatest human being who ever lived. Rest in peace Sheiky baby. Put God in the camel clutch. Humble him, old country way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I just came back from the car shop when I read the news I felt sick to my stomach. Iron Sheik was the best on twitter. He ripped LeBron in LA for being a disappointment (before this year), and routinely lambasted professionals, becoming the top hater on social media. "IF YOU WANT TO BOUNCE LIKE A BOUNCEY BALL...GO **** YOURSELF" He lampooned social media trends and let's get this straight, he was the all American Champion, Wrestling Champion, sold out the Madison Square Garden and no other jabroni not even the Jabroni Hulk Hogan could do that So RIP Bubba, I pour a cold beer out for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I'm pretty old so I remember him selling out the Madison Square Garden and the Silverdome when he fought the jabroni Brian Blair before the Bob Backlund come and save him. "You was lucky, punk." Shiek transcended from being just another wrestler to the iron sheik class, and his appearances on media were even funnier. He had so many classic appearances on O&A and Howard Stern. They're too vulgar obviously to post here but his shoot on Pork was hilarious. "LAMB AND SHEEP, THEY EAT GRASS. THAT NO GOOD SON OF A **** PORK EAT DEAD ANIMALS. FOR THIS REASON, MUSLIM PEOPLE, JEWISH PEOPLE, WE DON'T EAT PORK!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 His shoot on the Ultimate Warrior was hilarious, he ripped into him for vulgar reasons, check out the video of him in the NJ convention where Mr Warrior refused to shake his hand. The way Shiek tells it is hilarious, likely untrue, but hilarious. "I go to Mr Warrior I say shake hands, he said no, shieky baby, I don't want to shake your hand. You tell everyone, I am a REDACTED" and Shieky baby is like "I didn't say that. I never said that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Aw man, not Shieky Baby! I still say the best thing he ever did in the ring was whacking that Howdy Doody looking Bob Backlund with a persian club. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Colonel Mustafa's passing made me wonder about why I stuck with early 1990s WWF. The gimmicks. A Dentist! A Garbageman! IRS Agent to team up with Milliondollar Man. A Cop and a prisoner. A Repo Man. A fat African from Uganda. A Viking. A Native American. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First as Norman the Lunatic in WCW, then Friar Ferguson. Then they ditch that and bring him back as Bastion Booger. At some point the writing has to be on the wall there. It might have only been worse if he had been forced to be Mantaur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have got to watch Survivor Series 93. Bam Bam Bigelow attempting to lead a team of Bastion Booger and two Samoans against four Doinks. It is the ultimate so bad it's good/funny match of that early 90's era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 @Captain Wiggles @Forehead Early 1990s WWF is do rough. If there is no Undertaker - not only did the gimmick work, the wrestler was awesome - I don't make it as a fan to the Rock, Austin, Foley, Triple H era when it was the pinaccle of sports entertainment between mic work, ring work and male drama (but mostly the mic and ring work). I will say, I remember "The Kid" as one of the early Monday Night Raw surprises... and when WWF went away from jobbers and squash matches it turned into "must see TV". I suppose that may have been part of the Monday Night Wars. I would switch between MNF and Raw. Unsure why I never gave WCW a peek... That early 1990s tag team division may have been more entertaining than the singles... but I was never a Hogan, Flair, Savage guy (i don't seem to remembee Savage doing much and it surprised me to hear him on the mic on some clips.). I never realized for the longest time Vince was the owner....the announcer?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I don't think many people knew Vince was the owner outside of wrestling. I didn't know he was until the Steroids trial. Had the same reaction. The announcer?!? Unfortunately the Undertaker was one of the reasons I stopped watching. The bit where he locked the Ultimate Warrior in the coffin was just ridiculously bad. So that and bull**** like The Mounties cattle zapper dealy I was done. Missed out on the attitude era. Been to a number of the Monday Night Raws here at the Greensboro Coliseum over the past decade plus tho. They alway seem to come to town around this time of year.

Interesting because January 1993 was when I first got really into wrestling. Royal Rumble 1993 was the first pay-per-view I ever bought, the one that ended with Yokozuna bench pressing Savage over the top rope. I had rented tapes from video stores and caught shows on TV occasionally, so I had seen late 80's/early 90's WCW like Sting and the Great Muta, and some random WWF content but January 1993 was when I went full in. Weird time to pick in hindsight, but I loved the Undertaker, Razor Ramon, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) I read last night that Billy Gunn was in a dark match on that Survivor Series 93. I just saw Daddy Ass wrestle on tv on Friday night. Dude has had some unexpected longevity. Edit...dude is 59. Wtf.

Captain Wiggles Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Twelve year old me didn't know jack. So many of the wrestlers I disliked then I now enjoy as a adult and some of the ones I liked then, like say Tatanka, I absolutely can't stand now. IRS for example is incredibly hilarious. Berating the crowd for being tax cheats is pure gold. Highly repetitive and surprised ihelasted as long as he did but maybe that's because of Rotundas commitment to the bit. His tax tips are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 One time IRS was talking about this young single mom asking for tax exemption because she can’t afford to raise her kid and he said something to the effect of “guess she should’ve thought about that before she hopped in the sack”. Nine year old me found it highly entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
