[News Update] The Iron Sheik Speaks Out on New DVD
The newly reinvented Iron Sheik and his real life manager come clean about their Frankenstein act in Kayfabe Commentaries' new DVD, "Rebuilding The Sheik," on sale today. For the past few years, The Iron Sheik (Koshrov Vaziri) and his manager Eric Simms have been riding a wave of recaptured popularity.
The internet is loaded with hit-heavy clips of the former WWE champion cutting impromptu promos, assaulting his manager Simms, and arguing with drug dealers on his cell phone. These exploits have yielded tons of public appearances, visits to the Howard Stern Show, and a spot on the Killers of Comedy Tour. But at what price?
"Rebuilding The Sheik" seeks to get under the hood and explore just how many of the alleged "shoots" are manufactured by Vaziri and Simms. Topics covered on the DVD include Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior and his disdain for Vaziri, Howard Stern, Bubba the Love Sponge, Vaziri's alleged drug addiction, the day-to-day wrangling of The Iron Sheik, Vaziri vs the character of "Iron Sheik", his return to the WWE, Simms' responsibility as his "brother's keeper", and much more.
The disc went on sale today at www.kayfabecommentaries.com.
The Iron Sheik's "personal difficulties" were incorporated into LCW storylines as Sheik became a target of former LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway who tried to get the Iron Sheik fired from Legends Championship Wrestling. Calaway believed Sheik's public behavior in "shoot" interviews and at various wrestling appearances was unprofessional and disrespectful to professional wrestling. After Sheik lost a loser leaves LCW match to Jake Roberts at the LCW Night of Horrors pay-per-view in October, the following week on LCW Showdown, The Iron Sheik held Calaway and Baby Doll hostage at gunpoint demanding his job back. While Calaway and Baby Doll were eventually released by Sheik, the gun accidentally fired and Calaway was shot twice. After surviving the ordeal, Calaway saw to it that Sheik was released from his Legends Championship Wrestling contract and he hasn't been seen in LCW since. There are no plans at this time to reincorporate Sheik into LCW storylines at the present time.
