When Nikolai request that everyone stands before he sings the Russian national anthem, he is greeted by a chorus of boo's and occasional paper balls tossed at him. Yet, he continues on proceeds to finish the anthem despite the deafening boos and vulgar language directed at him. Now that's what someone would call a trooper. 😅
Man that Iron Geek was a cut up. He used that broken understanding of English to an art form. His promos are top of the stack good. Miss those 80s wrestlers.
I hated all the bad guys back then. As an adult, I realize villains like Nikolai and ESPECIALLY Sheiky baby made pro wrestling. The villains truly made us pay our hard earned money. #respectdasheik
You don't understand what the Iron Sheik is saying to you? Dude you're not tone-deaf are you because I'm not Iranian and I'm not a language specialist but even I understand exactly what the Iron Sheik is saying
I grew up watching these two. And watching this right now had me laughing till my eyes were watering. They don't make wrestlers like this anymore! They were hilarious.
There’s a video of Steve Corino telling a story of Sheiky wrestling the Mighty Macabee. He REALLY got some heat with the predominantly Jewish audience 😮
They can't be like Sheik. They don't have the Olympic medal winner. They don't have were bodyguard for Shah of Iran. They can't be Sheik. Camera man zoom it!
I'm not going to advocate the use of steroids or cocaine, but I will say that wrestling was a lot more entertaining when the guys used steroids and cocaine. So instead of testing, maybe we can just take wrestlers' word for it that they aren't using steroids and cocaine.
Again I'm still not convinced he was high... Even though your heart feels like it's about to pop through your chest and typewriter jaw a lot of folks are pretty docile when coked up...
Nikolai was a great heel, and a REAL Russian (or near enough!) Lithuanian? I think? He looked the part and sounded the part... and people should "all rise and respect his singing of the Soviet National Anthem"...
His dad was Croatian and mom was Polish. He would speak to Andre The Giant in Polish when Andre first arrived in North America. I heard him say that in a shoot on CZcams.
Volkoff the ultimate square and the the crazy Shiek who though testing positive for cocaine was a good result teamed together is really funny ,the WWE did have a sense of humor. Maybe they thought the old veteran would keep him out of trouble. Seriously I thought at the time those guys did have some serious courage to be those characters at that time. It’s surprising no crazy shot them.
I'm not convinced he's coked up ... notice no typewriter jaw... also in spite of popular opinion cocaine doesn't always make you a raving lunatic in fact some people get jammed up so bad they can't even speak ... I mean there are exceptions ... it seemed more likely to me that he was jonesing (look it up urban dictionary) at the time that's why he was all fidgety before he started talking ... and who wants to be high as fuck at work and especially with the lights and the cameras... how would you not be super paranoid??? Of course I could be wrong... it has happened once or twice before...
Sheiks dont exist in iran. Sheiks are the tribal Arabs, who ever that is a Sheik is not Iranian. hossein khosrow waziri is an Iranian. The Iron sheik was just his gimmick. Back in the days it didn´t bother the iranians or himself to wear that cancer on his head, simply because arabs weren´t known as terrorists, and to explain the difference between persians and arabs to foreigners would have taken ages, but I´m sure he now regrets accepting this stupid gimmick. Almost all muslims in iran are shias, just the kurish iranians are sunnis. I highly doubt that iron sheik has a religion though.

The Iron Sheik was one of the true characters in the 80s WWF, he's hilarious!

Kenny Redneck 😂
RIP Sheik 😪
You can barely understand a thing Sheik is saying, yet it's still better than 95% of today's promos because of the body language and tone alone.

Watch Sheik at the beginning. He is wiping all the spiders off.
Boy I tell u no one can talk trash like the Sheik. He's the greatest.
Cocaine and Wrestling go so well together
I love whenever Sheik throws a shout out to his panzans.
BOSTON "MASSATOOSESA"!! THE IRON SHEIK WAS BEYOND HILARIOUS!!!
And "Capital Lou Albano" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that old wwf logo at the end.
Back in the days when wrestling had personalities! Love the 1980s WWF, better than today's wrestling
I grew up watching these two. And watching this right now had me laughing till my eyes were watering. They don't make wrestlers like this anymore! They were hilarious.
Iron Sheik ,Volkov and Randy Savage promos with "gene mean" will never be surpassed!!!!!!
True... they now only make "superstars" who must be "soft-spoken" coz it's PG.. It's Pathetic!
JC Lawless Absolutely agree👍
Bruh. Sheiks elf getaway boots? USA not Ok
Can't deny sheik had one of the best gimmicks..of all time...he knew how to get that white heat baby! haha.
He's still got a great gimmick.
It's not a gimmick. Sheiky baby IS sheiky baby.
Sethus Exactly
He's a true actor, he has yet to break character.
There’s a video of Steve Corino telling a story of Sheiky wrestling the Mighty Macabee. He REALLY got some heat with the predominantly Jewish audience 😮
Perhaps these new era wrestlers should snort a couple lines, watch & take notes from these Sheik videos on how to cut promos
They can't be like Sheik. They don't have the Olympic medal winner. They don't have were bodyguard for Shah of Iran. They can't be Sheik. Camera man zoom it!
They don't have the 10 inch cock!
Crabby Old Gamer Exactly!!!!=)

I love these promos...ten times better than what we have today. I miss the golden era of professional wrestling!!
CAMERA MAN ZOOOOOM IT

Nikolai was a great heel, and a REAL Russian (or near enough!) Lithuanian? I think? He looked the part and sounded the part... and people should "all rise and respect his singing of the Soviet National Anthem"...
Actually he was Croatian
Proud to be the same nationality as Nikolai Volkoff :D
Yeah... he wasn't even Soviet! Haha!!
His dad was Croatian and mom was Polish. He would speak to Andre The Giant in Polish when Andre first arrived in North America. I heard him say that in a shoot on CZcams.
Mark DP, VERY NICE, I AM HOWLING WITH LAUGHTER RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT!!
RIP Nikolai
“Allofasounds” (all of a sudden)

Legends...!! They cut a really solid promo here too!! Volkoff & Sheik awesome!!
There will only be 1 Iron Sheik for fucking ever!

Not in this interview, but Iron Sheik is probably the first to use "Jabroni" on camera.
The Rock said he got it from him

Is the Sheik Sunni or Shia?
Shiite 😇

Almost all muslims in iran are shias, just the kurish iranians are sunnis. I highly doubt that iron sheik has a religion though.
Hahahaha
