The WWE called The Event " one of The Most famous wrestling matches of all time".

" He was a trailblazer, breaking barriers and paving The Way for a diverse range of wrestlers who followed in his footsteps, " The Family said.
With his iconic Shaved Head , handlebar moustache and curled-toe shoes, Vaziri paid tribute to his Iranian heritage with his persona.
According to ESPN, before wrestling he was a bodyguard for Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi of Iran.
He almost made his country's Olympic Wrestling team in 1968.
Vaziri eventually moved to the US, became an Assistant Coach for The American wrestling team, and joined the WWE (then under the name WWF) in 1979.
He is Survived By his wife of 47 years, Caryl Vaziri , and his children Tanya, Nikki and Marisa.
" He was a loving and dedicated father, " His Family said.
" He instilled in them the values of perseverance, determination, and the importance of following their dreams. The Iron Sheik's guidance and unwavering belief in their potential served as a Driving Force for his children, empowering them to become The Best versions of themselves. "
