+ 4 RIP Iron Sheik

Always liked the guy, very entertaining as a wrestler, and the interviews he did later in life were off the meter.

Good part at 1:40

Had to edit the title fellas, a good man here pointed out I misspelled his name. I was at work and didn’t have my reading glasses, I don’t have what one would consider small thumbs lol. I’d say don’t get old, the vision, aches and pains, etc suck, but, being alive beats the alternative for now. On a side note, I’m going to get a pair of those boots. Maybe kick someone’s ass while wearing them. I’d have to get a fake mustache though, my lip hair game is weak. There’s only Burt Reynolds, Steve Harvey, and the Iron Sheik. Kings of the ‘stache.

When I first read the post title I was like “must be some bodybuilder I’ve never heard of???”
Then it hit me, and i was like no fking way!!!! Sad shit. Didn’t realize he was 81 already

I’d give you a very firm man’s handshake Big D. I got one today from a guy, and was honestly surprised. Has shit gone so far south that a fucking firm handshake surprises a person? It was very refreshing to say the least. A firm, gripped handshake. Eyes too. No looking at the carpet.

I feel ya on the handshake. Sometimes I feel like I'm pulling a fish off the line as floppy a some of them are. But you can't blame them anyone under about 25 been told it's bad to be any kind of masculine. I try to tell them women like men. Even those crazy feminist. They may marry those easy to control men but they're cheating with guys like me.

All good. Looking down at the carpet huh? Sucker move. Suckers everywhere. Real recognizes real. Alot of fakers out there lol
I always appreciate the sincere ones. And yep nothing like a good ole fashion handshake.

I’ve been hired by men in expensive suits. Not flashy, but you know they paid the extra couple hundred to make it hug right. Honestly, we’re the assholes, even a good coat or jacket can be taken in, or taken out. Shit, I’ve bought a $300 coat and didn’t get it taiolered I’m the asshole. Just realizing this at 47 yo.

Hey, #metoo. Dude shook my hand and cracked my knuckles. I was like, damnit, you're hired!

Damn, every year, we’ve been losing a few more of our times wrestlers. I have a friend that use to party with the Iron Sheik and Jimmy Snuka. He claimed the Sheik did a lot of blow back then. A lot of these guys live on pain killers these day from all the old injuries. God bless them all. RIP Sheik!

Drexyl's picture

True story I can’t tell here in open forum, I partied once with Jimmy Snuka. Very cool guy, awesome stories and just a laid back fun guy. He’s a lot shorter than most people would think, I mean he’s pretty fucking short. I’ll see if I can dig up a pic and blur my face. (Hawaiians can drink pretty heavily for the record.)

JakeKO's picture

I don’t have any pics, but I use to hang around with a heavy hitting bike club, and Snuka was a regular at this bar we would hang out at in North Jersey. He was a very cool guy. Didn’t talk too much. It was so hard to keep my cool, but I did, so I didn’t have much interaction at all.

DeeMan's picture

I see you know a lot of folks man. Snuka was one of my favorites too. Swole dude that could fly. Even his daughter is swole.

JakeKO's picture

Yeah, I’ve definitely been around the block. Calming down as the years go by. I have my wife and training to thank for that, or maybe it’s just age. I’ve been a wrestling fan since I was about 7 years old. Once the UFC came to town, it was all over. Don’t really enjoy watching it anymore.

As for Snuka, I remember his debut. He changed wrestling forever with that cross the ring dive from the top rope. Can’t fake that shit, LOL

DeeMan's picture

I remember Snuka busting his head wide open. Don't remember details though

I remember I had his action figure lol He was also hilarious

DeeMan's picture

I watched a WWF documentary and The Sheik was that guy to go to if you really wanted to party hard. He could get anything and everything

From what I understand he went hard lol.

He's getting ready to retire from working for the City with that job. He's had that job for well over 30 years.
