Iron Sheik needs your help...
Well, to be honest the guys that want to make a documentary about him need help (and donations to make it)!!
The way I figure. It beats donating Hogan money, who will just end up giving most of it to his ex-wife...
At least in this case there will be a documentary about Iron Sheik to watch... Hopefully he will get to explain his hatred toward B. Brian Blair!!!

If I can get a receipt. What's the adress to send a check to? It won't be muc but you gotta start somewhere. My dad was talking about the good ol wrestling days a while back.
That's great these brothers are doing something like this.
I just watched the match where he "lost" the belt to Hulk at MSG in 1984. Man, those were the days. I saw Hulk once at the St Paul Civic Center try to beat Nick Bockwinkel for the AWA title about a year before he went back to the WWF, as it was known back then.
In an aside, Sheik Adnan El Kassie, who spent a lot of time in the AWA here, is from Iraq and he actually wrestled under Saddam Hussein. In an interview he said he fled his homeland back in the day because he thought if he ever lost a match, Saddam would have him killed for real.

The guy that plays Nikolai Volkoff lives up the road, I'm friends with his wife's sister. Probably the most laid back guy I've ever met. The Iron Sheik still comes over every once in awhile to hang out. He's nothing like his character in real life.
