Iron Sheik: In Japan they call you Khosrow Vaziri

April 11th, 2006 by Adamu		 Adamu

I was intrigued to note that the classic WWF’s own Iron Sheik is actually known by his real name, Khosrow Vaziri, in Japan. Apparently, the former bodyguard for the Shah did not get the same villainous characterization in Japan.

Of course, the Iron Sheik has popped back into the public eye with the release of some amazing interviews with him:

  • Where he calls Brian Blair “a fag worse than Michael Jordan... I mean Michael Jackson.”

  • And where he expounds his hatred for “loss-bians“

    • ↑ This shit is CLASSIC, people.
