#Fact
1WWE Hall of Famer.
2Stated in a 2007 interview that Jimmy Snuka came up with the idea for the Sheik to wear curl-toed boots as part of his wrestling attire.
3Underwent double knee replacement surgery after being involved in a car accident in 2003.
4Won the Amateur Athletic Union Gold Medal in Greco Roman Wrestling (183.5 lb division) in 1971.
5Credits the late wife of Verne Gagne, Mary Gagne, for giving him his wrestling moniker, The Iron Sheik.
6Most of his favorite wrestlers have an accomplished amateur background, such as Kurt Angle, Brad Rheingans and Dan Gable.
7Former World Tag Team Champion.
8Mr. Vaziri was also part of Reza Pahvlavi, the former Shah of Iran's personal bodyguard staff.
9His professional wrestling persona was inspired by Edward Farhat's character, The Sheik, who was regarded as one of professional wrestling's greatest, and therefore, most successful villains. His ring attire included wrestling boots with curled up toes like The Sheik's, and even used The Sheik's famous finishing hold, "The Camel Clutch." For his ring moniker he called himself "The Iron Sheik." Unlike other such ethnic "heels," he was actually from his alleged origin, Iran.
10Notable Title Wins Include: PNW Tag Team titles; NWA British Empire Commonwealth Heavyweight title; NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight title; NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team titles; NWA Canadian Heavyweight title (2); NWA Canadian Tag Team titles; NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight title; NWA National Television title; WWF World Heavyweight title; WWF Tag Team titles w/Nikolai Volkoff
11The Iron Sheik has trained Ricky Steamboat, Buck Zumhoff, Jim Brunzell, and Greg Gagne, and has also had a hand in training Bret Hart.
12Wrestled in the main event of Summerslam 1991, teaming up with Sgt Slaughter and General Adnan to face Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior in a handicap match
13Wrestled in the "Gimmick Battle Royal" at Wrestlemania X-7, which he won.
14Though a superb amateur wrestler, in reality served as a transitional champion, losing his WWF title to the man who was destined for the gold all along, Hulk Hogan. His match against Hogan, on Jan. 23, 1984 at Madison Square Garden in New York, lasted less than six minutes; the Iron Sheik was only able to mount a brief offense, but there was no stopping Hogan on this night. The Iron Sheik would lose a series of rematches to Hogan.
15The Iron Sheik defended his title four times, with his best defense (according to Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine) coming against Chief Jay Strongbow in Pittsburgh, Pa. On Jan. 14, 1984, wrestled Tito Santana to a double-disqualification at the Philadelphia (Pa.) Spectrum in his only other high-profile title defense.
16Defeated Bob Backlund to win the WWF World Championship on Dec. 26, 1983, in Madison Square Garden, New York; Backlund (who had earlier injured his back, thanks to the Iron Sheik, on "WWF Championship Wrestling" a week earlier) was trapped in the camel clutch; Backlund's manager, Arnold Skaaland, threw in a towel and had the match stopped.
17(March 31, 1985) With Nikolai Volkoff, won the WWF Tag Team Championships from Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo at the first WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden. Lost the titles less than three months later to Windham and Rotundo.
18Professional wrestler.
19Former WWF World & Tag Team Champion.
