I can only understand about a third of what the Sheik says. Every shoot interview seems like half gibberish.
To quote Rick James, cocaine's a hell of a drug.
I don't know what's funnier: Iron Sheik being invited to a university/school to be a guest speaker. Or him calling Ric Flair as a "350 pound fatboy". I'm sure he's off by about 80-100 lbs.
Sad that he has to make a living by making a fool out of himself. He doesn't realize that he's the butt of the joke wherever he goes.
I had just bent down to tighten my nuts, and there was a double yellow line, see? And next thing I knew, there was policeman behind me. He put a sticker on my helmet and tried to clamp me.

I see your point... but really, is this ANY more demeaning than what he did during his wrestling career? Traveling around his adopted homeland, bad-mouthing the United States wherever he goes, getting paid to be booed & jeered by half-witted locals while acting like a stereotypical Arab caricature, and getting beat-up in pretend fights by "heroic" Americans?
At least this time, he's not getting whacked in the head with a steel chair...

If Sheik is talking about Flair at the very start of his career - and he would have been around for that - then he's actually not all that far off. Young Ric was pretty big.

Not that Sheik doesn't have all kinds of issues, but I think he's well aware that ranting like a crazy person will get him attention and money.

But Sheik got to wear probably the swankest boots in wrestling.
