I miss the Sheik

by Anonymous-now (not verified) on

He was one of my favorite wrestler's...and the only reason I used to watch "wraslin"...He was my hero growing up just because the US needed enemies and what better than an Iranian enemy of the West who carried around the Iranian "Allah" flag and pictures of Khomeini...
