- This channel contains the best wrestling promos of all time, as well as a few clips which might as well be wrestling promos. These clips are from the golden age of wrestling-- NWA and WWF. If it cant hang with the Iron Sheik, Jake the Snake Roberts, The Four Horsemen or The Road Warriors--- then it didnt deserve to be on here....

The cameraman knows to zoom in on the Shiek when he senses Gene can't hold in his laugh. Classic!!
I caught that 😂 Camaraman did the same with Dr. Schultz promos as well 😂 Mean Gene was laughing hysterically
In tears here watching that🤣
He lost it.
😂😂😂😂
Just noticed that lol. As soon as Sheik called Gene “intelligent Jew business man” he knew he was gonna break
**Speaks jibberish with broken english*
**Still pulls better promos than 95% of today's stars*
He isn't speaking gibberish. It's a little difficult to understand due to his accent
@@V-for-Vendetta01 he is talking gibberish for a fair bit of that.
Correction : speaks wisdom with broken English
Facts!
100% of them ... seriously
Iron Sheik was a quite underrated promo guy back in the day. Even with his broken English, you can tell the guy didn't miss a beat.
Maravi Yoso exactly!!!
It's all about the confidence and conviction.
He didn't let his broken English stop him, he had a message to get through and he was going to get it through with whatever words first came in his mind. Didn't worry about coming out right or grammatically correct.
@@JebeTheGreat Sheik definitely has a way with words.
Maravi Yoso I think that his style was actually very good !
Maravi Yoso precisely 😂
RIP Sheik. This is one of my favorite promos ever.
Same here. RIP Sheik.
Exactly!
EXACTLY!!!!
PRECISELY
Mean gene almost lost it so the camera had to zoom in on sheikie
Iron Sheik didn't play a character, he WAS a character. This is what is missing in wrestling today.
that's not the only thing missing from wrestling today.
EXACTLY!!
This is actually all too common in wrestling today. Everyone is just an exaggerated version of themselves which can be great but there’s no cartoonish characters anymore like kane or taker
PRECISELY!
Kayfabe has been ruined
"Now...Corporal Kurushner..."
"... Corporal Kirshner"
"WHATEVER!"
Amazing. Rest Easy Shiek 😔
Love that part too
EXACTLY!
Fun Fact: Gene Mean was Sheiks Best Man at his real life wedding.
Charles Carter no way lmao thats funny
Charles Carter picture the scene as the vows were being read & exchanged:
Priest: "For richer or poorer"...
Mean Gene: "Exactly"
Priest: "In sickness & in health"...
Mean Gene: "Precisely"...🤣😂
I thought I heard him say “Gene Mean”! LOL
He did say GENE MEAN! LMAO !
michael Castle A to the Z...
Shiek’s promo beats 95% of today’s wrestling promos in the WWE lol
My 3 year old nephew has more charisma than todays wrestlers.
It beats 80% of the promos from that day too
Well, his (or anyone else's back then) weren't scripted.
Not just WWE. Everywhere.
Beats 100%
This interview was more entertaining than the last 5 WWE years combined.
Was it really now?
@@aarongentry1567 yeah it was.
Absolutely!!👍👍👍👍
@@aarongentry1567 not even debatable
Exactly!
“Corporal Kirchner” “WHATEVER!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂 Sheiki Baby was the man!!
💪EXACTLY 💪
He looks like one of those stereotypical calisthenics strong men from the 1920s and 30s.
Eck more like the 1910s
Eck eggZOKlee
he eats 6 lbs of un-rendered hogfat every morning to maintain his robust musculature
anthologyofinterest1 but he is Muslim
BULLY!
RIP SHEIK BUBBA, MAKING JABRONIES HUMBLE FOR ETERNITY
“EXACTLY”…you are definitely an “intelligent American Jew wrestling fan, business man…from the MIYOMI!”
No hes is Indion and hes from Las Anjaless!! U Jabroni😂😂😂
You can hear the camerman laughing lol
lol
LMAO!!!
droopy562 SEND FOR THE MAN
They laughed because Shieky Baby called "Gene Mean" an "Intelligent Jew"
You mean CAMA-RE-MAN ?
"Intelligent Jew like yourself" 🤣🤣🤣
they had to cut away from gene mean because he started laughing when he said that
he always called gene a jew
Calling people a jew even when they weren't so casually and zero blowback was so 80s and I miss it so much!
@@ZackMorris1 those good times are back my friend
I love it when Gene cracks
Kayfabedreamsmusic i wonder how he reacted after the cameras went off
The best!
And the cut away to the shitty graphic. Good shit
*SEND FOR THE MAN*
Rumor has it that the Iron Sheik is the only person in the world who understands Scott Steiner's math equations
This comment deserves a thousand likes
The Iron Sheik taught Steiner everything he knows, Math included.

😂😂😂😂🤦
Omg, I'm sitting in my car in tears while LMAO...ppl must be looking at me like what is wrong with that guy...this promo is GOLDEN!! as a kid in the 80's I was too captivated to understand any of the promos...now as an adult, seeing them from a different perspective, they are hilarious & classic...I realize now that Mean Gene was a great sidekick to all these stars...the good old days
Luis Rodriguez I thought the same thing. We could care less about the promo or what was being said. It was more like, "hey, cool it's the Sheik and Volkoff", or "hey cool it's Macho Man". Years later re-watching these and I'm like, wtf how did I miss the dialogue?
Well said!
@@MrLawabider41 I agree wholeheartedly, Sir!
Calvin Carpenter EXACTLY
Precisely
Thank you very much Gene Mean.
so funny
He is an intelligent Jew.
Miss Jennifer Banks loool
what is "gene"?
Miss Jennifer Banks I swore I heard dat right... Gene Mean
"Intelligent Jews...like yourself..." LOL! Gene was about to break out laughing. Love the old promos
Hilarious, Gene trying not to laugh when he says "Intelligent Jew like yourself"
He said "NOT like yourself"
R.I.P. Iron Sheik, one of the greats. He’s now reunited with Mean Gene and I’m sure they’re conducting more interviews up there.
They are too busy making people humble
Gene mean 😂
I watch this promo at LEAST 3-4 times a week lol
Andres de Villanueva i watch it almost everyday. Lol
Ex-actly
Checking in
I think that I will have to start watching this promo weekly, as well!! This is pure comedy gold, right here!!😂
Precisely
Iron Shiek and Gene Mean !!!! What a combination and pure gold !!!
stevevr1965 - Think of all the tons of local promos we have never seen where these two guys are on coke cutting promos til 2 am 🤣
These two were gold together! Mean Gene had a very hard time keeping a straight face on this one!! 😂 Thank you so much for the memories, Mr. Okerlund! Fly easy, Sir!! 🙏
Mean Gene always had the outstanding ability to set the Sheik up for a great promo.
Milo The Russian Blue- totally. He did it w macho man too. Gene was the best
EXACTLY!
Mean Gene's cracking up.
I think he signaled the camera man to zoom into Shiek so he could let it out, LOL!
Well, whatcha gonna do when Shiekie-baby says "... an intelligent Jew, like yourself..." to you?
*****
EXACTLY!
Exactly!!
I never saw him do that before...that I remember...hard to keep a straight face standing next to these guys
What amaze me is how the iron sheik stayed in character while everyone else was laughing
Character?
@@Vinnce12 Yes The Character Of The Iron Sheik
Character??😶
"Thank you very much Gene mean!" ..18 sec ..look on gene's face is priceless..
0:51 intelligent jewish people like yourself hahahahaha
Loulta Sanchez not like yourself.....
Lol mean gene about to laugh
Mean Gene wanted to laugh at that.
Lmao he's trying not to laugh
RIP Iron Sheik. Thanks so much for all the memories and entertainment. As a 11 year old you and Volkoff were the only bad guys I cheered for!
I cheer for the Dream Team Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake
One up on you.
😉👌
todays wrestlers dont have the performance class in front of the camera that sheik and guys of his generation had
ExACTly, Gene Mean...
+The Best Wrestling Promos of All Time Eck ZAT lee
I will say though, that I if you look back at 2009 Miz, right when he was starting to use I'm awesome. If you look back there, it plainly obvious that he spent time studying tapes of Iron Sheik.
Crowd control, Pacing, Emphasis, Sheik set the bar for all of these.
It's like broken matt hardy. You can't take it seriously... but... he never let's up. this goes beyond kayfabe. It's as if he truly believes that everyone is a jabroni jew that needs to be made hum-bel.
It was a different time...then80's,cocaine, the fashion,no pc,iphones...mo instant gratification...it was awesome,
lol the mustache twirl and flex at the end was the cherry on top
Fan: Was sheik always this crazy? Hogan: well back in the day we told him his drug test came back positive he said "Oh thank you thank you"
Tuff...
That was Marty Janetty
@@chrismemphis8062 Yup it was marty, and it's one of the most hilarious stories ever. The 80's stories with shiek and hacksaw were classic. These two rode together a lot, and were basically the coke bros.
We will miss you, Sheiky. I hope you and Gene Mean are making them all humble up at the great Wrestlemania in the sky.
Somewhere in Miami a coke dealer made a ton of money when Sheiky Baby hit the town!
😂😂😂😂
First of all Randy Savage, it's not Miami.....it's MeeYOMEE!!!!
Exactly
An imposter
@@deasttn EXACTLY!
R.I.P. Hossein Vaziri aka Iron Sheik, please spread some love and heartfelt condolences to his family. The Iranian-born athlete became one of the most reviled and yet most popular personalities in WWE during the 1970s and 1980s.
My favorite wrestler of all time, and my favorite promo of him. Today is the first time that I'm watching The Iron Sheik without laughing. RIP legend of the earth. Miss you forever bubba
“Tank you Gene Mean…” 😂😂😂
My god... The Iron Sheik in Miami, home of his medicine!! This must've been a crazy day.
bluenickels In the MY-OH-MEH. I guess many wrestlers did snowflakes that day.
WELCOME TO DA MIAMI LOL
A to the Z.
FAACK DA MA-I-MI
Mayomi*
:57 - Gene Mean starts to lose it so the camera pans off him. Pure gold. Exactly!
Every time Mean Gene was interviewing the Sheik he must have taught to himself 'Here we go again'
Will Fisk He probably thought about sad things to avoid laughing hysterically.
Will Fisk You know that's what he was thinking whenever he'd see the Macho Man walk towards him too... you know you're in for a treat, lol.
RRRRRRRRANDY SAVEEDGE, FAK YEW CHEEP JEW SANAVABETCH.
Love the way they play off each other "precisely" "EXACTLY!" and the zoom when Mean Gene is starting to break lol
Yep! Phenomenal...
one of the best heels ever. He cracks me up every time he grabs the mic
You know the moment the camera got turned off, gene died laughing! The camera man didn't even wait...hahaha! Iron sheik is comedy, in its purest form.
The GOAT!!!! No one comes close to sheik in promos. Dude could wrestle too!
RamManNo1 - the sheik is the funniest, no doubt about it...
RIP "MEAN" Gene! You were the voice of many childhood "wrestling matches" between my brother and I. We always would stop and think what you would say about our moves.....Godspeed Brother!
RIP The One and Only Iron Sheikh! You will be missed sir
He wasn't a Christian show some respect!
Sheik is one of the best promos of the 80’s.
THE INCOMPARABLE IRON SHEIK.....WHEN I NEED TO HAVE SOME UNCONTROLLABLE, NONSTOP LAUGHTER, I JUST GO TO "GENE MEANS" INTERVIEWS WITH THE MOST HILARIOUS WRESTLER OF ALL-TIME,THE ONE,THE ONLY, IRON SHEIK!!!
“You better get ready because Sheik born ready”. I love that line
Zoom it! Zoom it!
He really played off of Mean Gene well. Quite the character...I have to hand it to the Shiek - he was in great shape - just a natural and no doubt he was tough as nails and strong as an Ox.
EXACTLY!!.....PRECISELY!!!.....WHATEVER!!!!
The most talented man in WWF. A true Legend.
camera has to zoom "out" on Mean Gene he's about to lose it
Mean Gene broke character and started cracking up, and you can hear the stage manager off-camera laughing his ass off. Great stuff.
Mean Gene trying his best not to bust out laughing 😂😂😂
Im happy he's on Twitter, cause his rants on there are equally hilarious!
I used to love it when Sheik would call Gene "Gene Mean".
I wonder if the cameraman got fired for laughing 😂😂😂😂
0:53 Mean Gene tries to hold a straight face... 😂😜 RIP Gene Okerlund
Mean Gene and The Iron Sheik together again.....cameraman zoom......what talents
RIP to these two legends
Show some respect he wasn't a Christian!
The best promo guy to live....unbelievable talent
I love How he Kept on going forward Even though Everyone Hated Him he wasn't as loved as hogan or The Other legends.. But still he never Gave up and quit.
Respect for him
EXACTLY!
Many wrestlers back then really enjoyed playing a heel more than a face. It's easy to be a face but kind of boring.
You can tell who are the funniest guys in the locker room because when they speak Gene Mean always tries not to laugh lol
i miss the 80's like you wouldn't believe
1:13 WHATEVER!!!!!
No one could cut a promo like ol’ Sheiky Baby.
I’m still impressed after all these years that Mean Gene called it Persia. He’s a man that knows his world history
I like how he gets into his character ranting, raving and how he always refers to Gene Okerlund as “Gene Mean”
It wasn’t a character, that’s why it’s so great
@@Best_Wrestling_Promos
OH YEAH!
SHEIK WAS A GREAT INTERVIEW BACK IN THE DAY. TREMENDOUS WRESTLER.MASTER OF THE SUPLEX. GREAT TALENT.
you have intelligent comment my friend lol
Pierre De Freitas Congraturation!!
LOL. Sheik gets every name wrong including his own (Mean Sheik). I loved Sheik when I was a kid. Loved the heels ever since.
I know mene gene was on the floor in tears when the camera cut
Gene Mean was cracking up
@@Pasan34 Gene mean
Mean Gene being the straight man while trying not to laugh! Classic!
You know what the best thing about this is? It's the zoom in on Sheik when Mean Gene laughs because they didn't want to tell Sheik that they have to re-do the promo
One of the best ever, no breaking kayfabe with him. My first memories of wrestling was the Iron Sheik against Angelo King Kong Mosca in a steel cage match! Great times.
Mustache like that automatically wins any argument. OR makes killer promos. Fackin' Boolsheet!!
I love how he called him Gene Mean lol
Nikolai did this too.. Gene always tries to hide his laughter you see this when he m oves his hand to his face and the camera man zooms on Sheik cause Gene can't hold onto himself, not in this but in another video
I couldn't have kept a straight face doing these interviews lol
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot it’s impossible to hahaha
Gene meen almost broke character to laugh every time he had sheeky baby doing promos lolol rest in to both legends so many great memories. 🙏🙏🙏
Today's guys just can't deliver the magic that sheikh and his generation had
Eric Steele Nope. The magic is in the improv
Yeah it all sounds rehearsed now.
Don't ever sit through a sasha skanks promo so cringe and boring these make today's segments look like Disney scripts
You could say whatever you wanted back then... golden era!
Only pro wrestling event I ever attended was in 1988 - Hulk Hogan defeated Iron Sheikh… awesome fun time. Green Bay Packer players on strike were in attendance and I talked to one. I was 15…
"Tank you Gene Mean!" LOL! AWESOME!!! :P
Boy I hated Iron Sheik when I was a kid in the 80s, but I have nothing but love for him these days.
If you hated him, then he was doing his job! All hail the legend of the Earth, the Iron Sheik!
The Iron Sheik is an all time great, no wrestler today even comes close!
I swear, SOMEDAY, I'm going to go about my day using nothing but Iron Sheik quotes and see how long it takes someone to call the cops on me.
I love this man, RIP Iron Sheik and Mean Gene.
Exactly why I love this guy. Best wishes Sheik
Gene Mean trying so hard not to laugh. PROMO GOLD!!
This guy makes me laugh every time I hear him talk but in a guy way, his promos were (and still are) Amazing.
"You better get ready, 'cos Sheik MORE ready!"
How's THAT for intimidation!??
I think he said born ready but still...awesome
Iron Sheik,volkov and Randy savage promos with "gene mean" are funniest things ever!!!!!!!! Miss those days of wrestling.
"Thank you very much Gene Mene"
What a character. Never really thought much of him in the 80s when watching wrestling, but as I go back and watc his promos he was better and funnier than I thought at that time. RIP Shiek
I remember him back then and he had real 'bad guy' image. To a young mind he was a scary villain.
People always joke that he hasn’t broken character in decades. But I’ve come to realize, it isn’t a character. That’s just how he is. Sure, he’s hamming it up a little for the camera. But that’s his actual personality.
More entertaining then any of today's sports entertainment
Tank you Gene Mean!!!! LMFAO
But he put the Jews over in this promo!
@@TuMalditaMadre Yes, he did!😂
Exactly
Tanks 4 the memories Gene Mean!!! or Gean Mene... R..I..P We all miss you.
I couldn’t understand a single thing he said, one of the best promos I’ve ever seen.
Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri (The Iron Sheik), Tonga Fifitu (Haku), Ron Simmons (Farooq), Andre Roussimoff (Andre the Giant), Rowdy Roddy Piper, David Schultz...
Guys I'd never ever want to piss off.
Harley race should be on that list too
Along with 'Rick Rude
Add The Undertaker to that list too. He was a locker room leader for a reason...
Dynamite Kid.
Minoru Suzuki
rip sheiky. you were before my time but i’m glad i got to see you.
By far one of the greatest heels and promo greats of all time!
Notice how the camera pans away cause Mean Gene was about to laugh 😂, Love the Iron Sheik!!
