The Iron Sheik on His Roast, WrestleMania Memories and Upcoming Documentary

Fred: Fred Richani here for The Sports Courier, joined by professional wrestling legend The Iron Sheik. Sheiky, how are you doing?

The Iron Sheik: I’m doing great, especially after last night. My agents, my boys, took me to my roast on Broadway, and it was excellent. It was sold out, with nice people and a lot of my good, real wrestling friends and good Iranian people. I want to say thank you to Mr. Howard for plugging my roast. I had a great time last night on Broadway.

Fred: And we’re having a great time during WrestleMania week. Briefly, what are your fondest memories of WrestleMania? You just celebrated the anniversary of the first WrestleMania.

The Iron Sheik: Absolutely. Everybody knows my partner, Nikolai Volkoff. At WrestleMania No. 1, Nikolai Volkoff and myself became the champions. That was my best memory. Number two, I lost my belt to Hulk Hogan, and I was very upset about that.

Fred: I’ll get you out of here on this, because you have a lot of fans waiting. Tell us a little about the upcoming documentary you’ve been talking about on Twitter.

The Iron Sheik: I have two jabroni agents, my boys, but they’re doing great so far. Everything is all right, and I hope very soon it’s going to be good. I can’t wait to see it. I want to say again thanks to all my wrestling friends around the world, and especially in New York and New Jersey, who can help me with the documentary. God bless you. I love all of them.

Fred: And if you’re not following The Iron Sheik on Instagram or Twitter, you are certainly missing out. Thank you, sir.

The Iron Sheik: Thank you, sir. God bless you. And tell my two jabroni agents to do a good job for their champion, or otherwise I have to fire both of them.
