When Iron Sheik was big into the autograph signings he would have a replica Big Gold Belt he would bring to shows and drape over fans shoulder for them to wear. I don't have pics but I remember my father wondering how he got to keep a belt. LOL. I guess he never heard of replica's and it wasn't the belt Sheik won. Though it was cool for a fan picture. Shiek has gotten more mileage out of being champion for about a month than most guys get out of their entire career. I mean, I kinda understand why. He was the bridge between two eras. He ended the Backlund era and kicked off Hulk a mania.

Almost thought MJF was Cole Karter at first due to the white tanktop he had on NXT 2.0.

He ended the Backlund era and kicked off Hulk a mania. Remember, he let the Hollywood blond guitar player do it too for God and Jesus and Kennedy McMahon!

I have one of these photo ops with Sheiky. I remember being confused but also amused because it seemed appropriate somehow. Sheik was a vendor guest, and whenever he was signing, the vendor would point to a specific place on each item and say, “Just write ‘Iron Sheik’ right here.” Sheik would ignore him by writing wherever he wanted and signing “Iron Sheik WWE HOF (whatever the date was) USA #1.” Every time.

The problem is he can't read or write English unless it's the basics. It's one of the reasons the twitter page bothers me because someone could write something that could get him in a lot of trouble and he wouldn't know otherwise. As a kid he spelled my name "JASLN" and then traced over it with the right words. My friend Nikolai got me some autographs that he signed "To JESON" which was funny. He spelled my name write a bunch of other times though. He worked most with Eric Simms before the Magan brothers got a hold of him. I tried spelling Colonel Mustafa for Sheik and I myself spelled it wrong and Eric made sure I knew I should have let he, Eric spell it. LOL. Sheik spelled it "Mufafa" which was how my 6 year old cousin said Mustafa from Lion King.

My dad passed away 17 years ago; he loved the Iron Sheik (or as he'd say "Sheik Iron", much like 'Gene Mean' and 'Slaughter Sargent'). Dad wore a wool 'dock hat' often with a Sheik button on it. I'd get anything signed to him, I wouldn't care. 🤣
