DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Making the WON Hall of Fame case for the Iron Sheik

On this episode of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I take a look at the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame case for former WWF World Champion and one of the craziest characters in pro wrestling history: the Iron Sheik.

I look at the qualifications for “Sheiky Baby” and add a personal story of booking him once.

Finally, I look back to the mid-1930s, Madison Square Garden and the return of Jim Londos, and a mid-1990s look at the Tokyo Dome and the BVD Martial Arts tournament featuring Antonio Inoki and, yes, Sting!
