10 Awesome Facts From The Iron Sheik’s Documentary

3. MANY People Still Remember And Respect Him

There€™s this fear among professional wrestlers that, once your in-ring career winds down, you have nothing left. The Iron Sheik, however, managed to stay relevant, thanks in part to the hard work put in by the Magen Boys. This is shown by the sheer volume of celebrities and pop culture figures, who meet him, reference him, make tributes for him, and praise him. From being on Howard Stern and Robot Chicken, to meeting hip hop artists like LL Cool J, Jay Z, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg, to comedians Adam Sandler, Jack Black, Russell Peters, the list of people that still knew and respected the Sheik is amazing. As Page Magen said, €œWe would go to these events, in which the biggest celebrities in the world were there. And they all knew the Iron Sheik. They all loved the Iron Sheik.€ For Vaziri, it must be an amazing feeling to know that, not only are there millions of people out there who still remember him as their childhood hero, but that these are successful people themselves, and they still respect him for what he has done. So for anyone who thinks that wrestlers€™ relevance disappears once they stop wrestling, the Iron Sheik€™s documentary provides an example of how much people still remember you long after your crowning moment in the spotlight is over.
