Iron Sheik Achievements

The wrestling icon, born Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri in Iran, had an illustrious career facing off against other wrestling greats in the ring during the 1980s, including Bob Backlund, Sgt Slaughter, and Hulk Hogan. In December 1983, Vaziri achieved a significant milestone by defeating Backlund for the WWF World Heavyweight title. However, just a month later, Hogan emerged victorious in front of a passionate audience of over 20,000 at New York’s Madison Square Garden, claiming the championship belt and kickstarting his own successful career. The match between Hogan and Vaziri is still widely regarded as one of the most famous wrestling matches of all time, as recognized by the WWE.

Vaziri, who was from Iran, was a onetime bodyguard for the shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, according to ESPN

Vaziri’s appearance was distinct, with his shaved head, handlebar mustache, and curled-toe shoes, paying tribute to his Iranian heritage through his persona. Prior to his wrestling career, he served as a bodyguard for Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi of Iran, according to ESPN. He also came close to representing his country as a member of the Iranian Olympic wrestling team in 1968. Ultimately, he relocated to the United States, where he became an assistant coach for the American wrestling team before joining the WWE (then known as WWF) in 1979.
