The Best Promo Ever?

The Iron Sheik rattles off

Add to My Profile | More Videos

People may wonder why I love the Iron Sheik so much. They might think it's because I'm just some unreasonable super-mark for him with not much to celebrate but "make him humble". That's perfectly fine. But Sheiky Baby has left a lot to his name even before that time. Check out this AWESOME promo from that Grandmasters DVD that's become the best selling DVD at Walmart. Sheik's promo is awesome as he rattles off why he's so much better than Ken Patera, shows off his disgusting steroid gut and impressively lifts those Iranian clubs. If you can't love this, then I have no love for you. Freddie Blassie rattles off a quick promo, which is even more endearing.

Carry On Tradition

Life takes you to different, weird places. Sheik went from Iran all the way to Minnesota, just to get away from the political strife going on in that country. Sheik had even said himself, "Iran broke my heart". When you're putting your life on the line for Farah Pahlavi [or her son] and something happens to force a change in power, the likelihood of having the opportunity to advance financially becomes threatened, at least in the short term.

So if even Khosrow Vaziri was working for peanuts [or $500 a week, as he claimed] for the University of Minnesota, the risk was worth it. Looking back, was it really the right decision for the man? Who really knows. But that long trip led him to work for Gagne and travel all around the world. Even if means wrestling in front of the legendary rabid fans of Puerto Rico.



Colon really impressed me here. So did the ref. And Sheik did his "calm down" hand motion which riles up the fans even more. That's my favorite part of his heel schtick. Check out Colon jumping from the ring over the top rope to the floor just to land a punch on the Sheik's fat head. That's what's great about wrestling. And that's something that's being lost - whatever "that" is. You know.

Believablity in wrestling is something that will never come back in America. Things are just too hokey, the camera angles are too business-exposing and wrestling fans creep the fuck out of 4 out of 10 readers of the Wall Street Journal.

But at least it's good to think to yourself, "hey, this shit was pretty cool at one time". Like when I was a slacker in college and watched ECW. Or around the time that Tiger Ali Singh decided to rep for the brown man while cutting Dusty Rhodes-like promos in Punjabi. It's true; Singh was the Dusty of all the dotheads. Even if Bradshaw shit in his turban.



The weekend is right around the corner. I can't wait. Hopefully, another Sheiky video post and some links to some great places. Until then, please stop hitting on that 16-year-old girl on AOL. It's only going to lead to bad things, man.

No, I can't believe that it's Tuesday either

This match is obviously notable because our Hero defeated that Howdy Doody, Bob Backlund. I really don't understand why Backlund decided to change his look from underwear to singlet, but he is in great condition, regardless. No one can take away his accomplishments, but the crowd really does seem a little burned out on him. Vince really did the right thing for his business by giving the title to Sheiky Baba, not the Giant Baba.



I fucking hate videogames. Well, not all videogames. Mario Kart is like the only game that I can play kinda decently, but even then, I finish 7th out of 9th or whatever. But it's all good. Maybe it's better to be a wrestling fanatic than a video game fanatic. But if gamers can get their own channel that they don't have to pay for, then yeah, I guess wrestling fans are somewhat lower on the totem pole of social acceptance. Someone teach me how to jump over that space between the blocks in Super Mario already; I'm always falling down.



So this mulatto chick talks to Sheik and seems kinda annoying. What I like about this video is knowing that she is probably the one chick that is being held on a pedestal by the social outcasts over there. It's not really farfetched to believe someone there was entertaining thoughts about eating her asshole. Maybe Tony Tacalone???



Bahahaha Sheik got a little too angry at Nikolai and Hulk. Why can't I just move on to the next internet legend? Instead, I still find all of these angry Sheik clips incredibly funny. Maybe I just have a soft spot for angry old people. Well, except my grandparents.

But first, what an ending to Raw. RIP Vince????

Sheik hates Brian Blair. We all know this.

Allegations that Ultimate Warrior was a gay prostitute, which did appear in the National Enquirer. He was like Pat Patterson! He still couldn't do the Iranian club routine, which seems rather sad in retrospect.

I like how Sheik feels sad about Chris Candido's death, yet brags that Sunny wanted to have sex with him. Sunny has said that she fucked both Shawn Michaels and Davey Boy Smith so, since he's a shooter, man, and "Kentucky Derby", could it be hard to believe that she also wanted an Iranian club up her twat?
