Shit.

I loved his FB posts, fuck the old age forever.

He made us all humble. Rest in peace, legend. We were all jabronis compared to you.

One of the few wrestling legends that seemed to be a genuinely good and caring human being in real life. Sad to see him go.

I don't know why but the movie The Wrestler made me think of him.
Anybody who hasn't should read a couple webpages with his bio on it, crazy life.

Man....this sucks. Almost all the wrestling heroes are gone or on their way out. Rip Master of the Camel Clutch.

Watched the A&E Biography with the Iron Shiek a few weeks ago, Amazing story on his life and a few tragic bits involving his family but the story I got a kick out of was when he was stuck at an airport without a ride, then got one with his rival Hacksaw Jim Duggan. The two were pulled over by the police. Duggan had smoked marijuana and the Shiek was high on cocaine. It wasn't the fact that they were doing drugs (commonplace during the era) but how two hatred enemies were hanging out together doing them, which back then wasn't commonplace...or at least it was but not for the public to know. Shiek got a kick out of telling that one :tickled:

He will always be an antisemite to the people who have heard him preach that for years. If he did turn a leaf, Im sure it was only to make a living. I dont believe it after the things ive heard come out of his mouth.
