The Iron Sheik, one of the most iconic professional wrestlers of all time, has passed away at the age of 81. The cause of death has not yet been released. Born Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri in Tehran, Iran, in 1942, the Iron Sheik began his wrestling career in the early 1970s. He quickly rose through the ranks of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), and in 1983, he defeated Bob Backlund to become the WWF World Heavyweight Champion. The Iron Sheik's reign as champion was short-lived, as he lost the title to Hulk Hogan just four weeks later. However, he remained a popular figure in the WWF throughout the 1980s, and he is credited with helping to popularize professional wrestling in the United States. The Iron Sheik retired from professional wrestling in 1991, but he continued to make appearances at wrestling events and on television shows. He was also a successful actor, appearing in films such as "The Wrestler" and "The Longest Yard." The Iron Sheik was a larger-than-life figure who entertained fans for decades. He will be remembered as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.
