My family and went to Wrestlemania 7 at the LA Sports Arena. I was in 7th grade at the time. We got there early in the hopes of seeing the wrestlers show up and get pictures with. The first wrestler we saw was the Iron Sheik. We were intimidated and didn't know how a 'bad guy' would be in real life. He knew we were nervous and in his thick accent yelled over to us - "Hey, come and take picture with the Iron Sheik!" He put his arms around us (my brother, two cousins and I) and smiled for the camera. I'll never forget how nice and caring he acted towards us.
I had a similar experience with him in Chicago in the 80's. My friends and I would go to the house shows at the Rosemont Horizon (now the All-State Arena) and would arrive early to see the wrestlers. Most of the heels would ignore us though a few would growl at us or give us dirty looks. But the Iron Sheik arrived in a cab wearing a Gold's Gym tank top, sweatpants, and his pointy wrestling boots. He would see us kids and say "HAHAHAHA, look at this back, children!" and do poses for us as we jeered him. He stayed a few minutes and let us take pictures of him, laughing and smiling the whole time.
@@Trebla197237 he got bitter and crazy though over the years
@@michaelallanrubin2376 He's still very cool to fans who meet him in person though. Especially if you say you like him more than Hogan
@@michaelallanrubin2376 nah, he's just working
@@theeverchosen1504 nope he isnt
Sheik hasn't broke out of character for 50 fucking years lol
Character is one thing; but not with him… he truly became the Sheik lol
@@MrKinkysloth even his shoots are works 😂 gotta love sheiky baby. He's one in a million
2022 and I really believe Sheikhy baby doesn't know kayfabe has died and still believes good guys are good guys and bad guys are bad guys and the two can't mix
Boys, the sheik was always himself before an after any fame.
You can see his human side in his movie. It's emotional rollercoaster.
"you always sign for the kids" - Iron Sheik. That created even more respect for the man.
Encouraging violence to little children for gold disgraceful really.
@Carl Roman is that the best you can do John Wayne
@@matimus100 are you looking for a duel? I'll be your huckleberry if you want, or we can just have fun
It’s just entertainment. Iron Sheik was genuinely a good man. Still is.
I'd hate to be your kid!
The Iron Shiek was a great man. I worked for a private limousine company and got a call to take him to his hotel one night. We talk the whole hour ride and he tipped me two $100 dollar bills and took a pic and signed a autograph for me. He was very nice to me and was hilarious 😂
*Say what you want about him, Sheiky is a true bonafide American legend*
I had the honor of meeting the Iron Sheik I’m guessing what may have been close to 20 years ago now as he was doing a meet and greet for a local wrestling promotion. He was one of the nicest gentleman I’ve ever met.
The wrestler (Nikolai V) I hated most as a kid seems to be the most stand-up guy!
Everyone who knew this man had a story. No shitty stories about the Legend. Partied hard played hard and died a legend. R.I.P. sir.
That Marty Janetty story is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. "Marty, she not know how to work"
Marty was feeling good in this clip
His coke gimmick never really ruined him. It was his knees that gave out. Actually there is a cool video of Sheik using persian weighted clubs for training. Indian/ Pakistan wrestlers also use them.
Yes I've seen him training with those. They are amazingly heavy and hard to work with but he had mastered it
Ultimate warrior failed at those in the Georgia.
Love your content Hannibal!! Best shoot interviews on the net 👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼
In 1990 I was 18 yrs old and worked at Kroger. One evening I was there and Sid Vicious walked in the door and moments later Lex Luger walked in. Some of my friends were standing on the sidewalk outside so I went out there to wait for the wrestlers to come out of the store. Sid came out first so I told him he had better watch out because Lex Luger was in there( I guess he and Lex were not getting along in the wrestling world) he said "yeah"and just left. When Lex came out I asked him if he would put my buddy in the human torture rack. He just smiled and kept on walking. A minute after that I was still out on the sidewalk and a small 4 door car pulled up beside me the window on the back door rolls down and it was the Iron sheik. He asked me directions to civic center. Cant remember the other 3 guys in the car but when that window came down I could tell they were having a good time.
Hehehe now thats a REAL wrestling story. Good of you to let them shop first before asking them to interact too
Sid and luger didn't get along in reality either
I had a distant "brush with greatness" with the Iron Sheikh. He truly loved the USA and his fans. And he was a real gentleman, unless he was provoked.
Nikolai volkoff was a rough wrestler, I remember when BRUNO SAMMARTINO WRESTLED HIM
Did Nikolai die
Corey Morgan yeah he passed away
I saw them wrestling each other in the Boston garden best times of my life
🙏🙏🙏
Did he win?
I love watching interviews with wrestlers! Thank you for your posts.
Boomhauer was always was my favorite of the Rockers.
The Steve Corino story about the iron Sheik fighting the mighty makabee and the house full of jews watching the promo (which is up on TH-cam) is the best thing I've seen ever.
I didnt know the singer from ACDC was a wrestler.
HONKY'S impression of Shieky is hilariously spot on.
Nah
@@20FreeWill Yeah.
Talk less.
The Iron sheik is truely a legend
"Marty the girl she dont kno how to work......" After taking a clothesline shot from the Iron Sheik, id be on a gurney too
Short clothesline bah. He punched her.
@JediFlavored Soap "No offense Marty, BUT I SAID FUCK MARTY!"
Met sheikh, one of the kindest wrestlers I ever met. So down to earth, so pro-American. That being said it was well known he was one of the meanest real ones.
Coz appreciated what america did for him and always did what he could for the fans especially the children
Sheik was a real one, that's for sure. Always did business the right way, but you can bet, if somebody got cross with him, he could have damn sure stretched that sucker
I love Iron Shiek for providing so many Botchamania memes!
Iron Sheik had an outdoor weight room, but is too cheap to buy a 10 dollar tarp from home depot, so now all his equipment is rusty😀😀
And surface rust makes the weights not work? There are many outside weight pits rust dosen't make the weights less effective
@@russblack443 you kinda missthe point
@@wce05308 no I didn't miss the point the OP was being a wise ass
Marty Jannety could be in AC/DC. He looks like the rest of the band
Too deep of a voice though.
Sheik is a straight shooter, no BS with him. The coke thing, he owns it. But gotta love how Duggan tries to deny having anything to do with it, what a POS.
Yup
Marty Jannetty is out to lunch!!
Dude was fucking trashed. Benzos and/or opioids.
@@RawKetchup It's a shame that They apparently couldn't quite re-invent a character/alter-ego that he(Janetty) could've morphed into,after they(The WWF)decided to Destroy The Rockers franchise,in order to make Shawn Michaels they're little heel glam-boy golden-goose. I mean,They could've gotten another Tag-Team partner for Janetty,and Shawn as well,and they could've had a Great Tag-Team Rivalry trilogy of sorts. They Really wanted Shawn as a One Man Show obviously, but a Tag-Team Rivalry thing with Janetty,and his new Tag-Team partner would've been Great,at least as a side-dish thing for Shawn Michaels. Janetty wound up appearing occasionally,in solo matchups, following the end of The Rockers, from what I remember,but he was clearly meant to be a Tag-Team type of Wrestler. Janetty and Owen Hart would've made a Great Tag-Team combo.
@@robertdecker4780 he won the intercontinental belt from shawn and he won the tag titles with 123 kid, such a shame they never developed him further, he had great ring skills
I never noticed how wired Jannetty is until my second watch, but yeah he's out to lunch alright! Also that "short clothesline" thing made me laugh so much 🤣
He just wasn't good on the mic
Marty reminds me of my cool drunk uncle lol
Looks like Marty sufferers from some brain damage but he seems like a cool guy.
@@basswacker6927 was thinking the same thing.Drugs and chair shots to the head will do that.lol
You have to like Marty
@@basswacker6927
It's ashame because Marty was a great wrestler
Some brilliant stories about the sheik..he was a funny dude
. Hid wrestling boots were legendary
Did mawty give u pills did mawty give u coke??
FUCK MAWTY!!! Lol
Well Marty Jannetty's story is not a very warm and fuzzy story is it.
He pumped a poor girl full of drugs then punched her in the face. He hurt her so bad they took her away in an ambulance. I think he sounds like a mentally unstable jerk.
Uhmmmm she didn't know how to work. It's not the iron sheiks fault.
You give a broad pills, coke, and booze but she’s mentioning another guy’s name? Yeah, she’s gonna get hit with something
Damn I wasn't ready for this one.
These fucking days half the crowd would be booing Sgt Slaughter for loving America
Yet ironically, Sheik loves America and would probably get mad.
Fucc the America no good racist genocidal maniac sunafabich.
Iron Sheik is one of my favorites of all time!
That clothes line story was funny af
Honky Tonk’s face lit up talking about Sheik😂😂😂😂😂 thats the kinda impression you wanna leave on people
Wow Marty is completely out of it.
3:08 Kids listen to Nicolai Volkof, he’s a good fella who is a wise man.
Janetty telling a story, umm you know, like,😂😂 and I’m like, 😂😂 ok
I didn’t understand anything Marty said. Something about cops and a girl and the Sheik with some cocaine.
Had to listen to it a couple of times, but on review it's gold
I want to hear more about their travel/schedule logistics, like if they drove to Birmingham, was that the night of the show? The day before etc?
I think Marty had a party before the interview
Of course he did it's MJ
@@dvlexotics2177 that's our Party Marty 😆
Yes he was feeling really good in this interview
~ A H H M E N ~
Sheikey is such a character.
~ L O L ~
Who the hell would complain about sheiky baby working out and drinking at the bowling alley ???? Lost respect for you bowlers
* ACKPUHHH * 💦
on those bowlers
Marty Jennety is always laughing and smiling.... Great story teller!
Laughing and smiling while recounting a story of his friend drugging and assaulting a woman... really hilarious.
He's always loaded
There wouldn’t be no hulk a mania. If it wasnt for the iron sheik 💯
Honkey Tonk has a great Sheik impersonation 😂 What a list of legends. Brings back great memories of me and my father
I had to skip marty Jeanette he sounds to high and couldn't understand him
Can you please interview some of the women these guys were involved with?
Carlos Elizondo go take your #metoo shit elsewhere
@@michaelsuder3956 The fact that you immediately assumed the OP was implying foul play was going on is exactly the reason hearing from them would be interesting.
Nobody said shit about rape or assault, just let them share whatever stuff they want to share.
I love Disco's story of the Sheik. So fun.
the marks practicing in the clip with nikolai should be sitting with him learning. just my opinion.
Nikolai is brilliant. I will REALLY cry when he goes
I believe he has already passed.
Yeah he passed in 2018
R.i.p.Nikolai
I kept waiting for Marty to bust out You shook me all night long.
Who would’ve guessed Nikolai being so humble and clean. And being Russian and not ever going to a bar
He wasn’t Russian he was Yugoslavian.
11:30 That incident is damn hilarious with the girl on the gurney.and 25:25 using his autographed pictures as payment at stores and asking for a dollar at beach.. Haha
When did Nikolai morph into John Goodman???
Hahaha..I kinda see that.
Marty was flat buzzed
Jannetty is fried AF
Burnt crispy!!! Hahaha
im always enjoy thoses videos thanks for sharing
Marty’s story is the fucking best and that’s saying a lot considering we’re talking about Sheiky😭😭
why didnt they just turn jim duggan into a heel and tag him with shiek etc?
Exactly. OR make it into an angle where Sheik “Corrupted” Duggan or made him drive him or he’d threaten to hurt his family. Vince called Duggan back fast tho so it wasnt that bad anyway
My dad sold him some cars in flint mi
My dad's voice gets excited when he talked about his short time hanging g with the Shiek I guess you couldn't just sell the Sheik a car!
SOUNDS LIKE the pro football player discussed late in vieeo was ERNIE LADD. That was the decorated WWII hero, Paul Bosech years in HOUSTON, TX on channel 39
Blair shouldn't even comment on the legend. Sheik put him in the camel clutch to break his back make him humble in front of 93,000 people at the Pontiac Michigan. Sheik said Blair had a job in WWE because he did a "favor" for Hogan. Anyone that is going along with moves will let themselves get put in a hold, but Sheik knows if that training was a real match you'd never have the chance.
How can you not love Sheiky Baby
The Iron Sheik!!!
I just love this guy...the Sheik!! I agree with the comments below. He truly is one of the funniest characters ever. True legend!!! Happy he is doing well. Thanks for entertaining us for all of these years.😁
You Rock!!!!
Iron Sheik is one of the nicest and kindest human being you ever meet. He would go out of his way to help a friend in need, while he would be the one who needed help the most.
hawksaw jim duggan looks like an old version of aj styles
Imagine Marty Jannetty, X-Pac, Iron Sheik and Scott Steiner in the same room...
All kinds of narcotics would be in that room.
@@tylowe78 Probably dead bodies as well...
There’s not enough cocaine in the world for that to happen....
Add Randy Savage
I didn't think the Sheik was ever an Olympic wrestler. I thought that was hyped.
He tried out for Irans 68 team but didnt make the cut.
1972 Olympics
He wrestled for Iran, one of the world’s strongest wrestling nations.
I can't understand a word janetty is saying can we please get a translator
He says Sheik allegedly drugged up a girl bust she still wouldn't sleep with him so he harmed her physically bad enough that she had to go to the hospital in a stretcher and the Police got involved. Old love to see the Police report on that!
Got damn. How about that head of hair on Disco
Disco's story was the best.
Is no one going to mention that Nikolai volkov is wearing a Members Only jacket?
Man I love the iron sheik but HOW THE FUCK IS HE STILL ALIVE with all the drugs he does man funny man tho
Sheiky baby
Volkoff looks like the same lol
volkoff sadly died same day as brian christopher
Ticket for drinking and driving, arrested for some weed..
*YOU RESPECT THE IRON SHEIK, WORLD CHAMPION, YOU F'N JABRONI!!*
Marty .. she don't know how to work 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jesus, Hannibal
Is Marty Jennety RVD's father? Ha! As long as he is happy. Live life and have fun as long as you do not hurt anyone!
@@TheLokiBiz lol
Marty's story about the sheik is fucking hilarious. I mean, horrible what sheik did, but fucking hilarious "I hit her with short clothes line.. but marty, she moved, she cant work!"
See, he ain’t nutz. He took his green medicine today.
Sheiky baby!!!!
Marty is stoned so often, he has a police-staffed jail cell in his home.
LOL i can totally see Sheik giving some broad a short clothesline !!!
“...he farted too much.”
Omg please timestamp that
"COM GET ME. UNBELIEVABLE. SOMEBODEH. THA WHEELS WON MOOV"
Paying for stuff with autograph pictures. Love the sheik
Marty looks high as a kite #SAD
Don't feel too bad for a guy that's fucked over 5000 women
@@TheHannibalTV he was every ones baby back then so I’m not surprised
Marty is off his nut!!
Damn Sheik out here clotheslining broads 😆😅. Had them learning quick, don't ask him no questions 🤣😆
I HATED the Iron Sheik and Volkov as a kid... job well done!
And we have Blair lying again. Lied about Atlas and now he acts as if he took the Iron Sheik in a shoot. What nonsense!!!
It would take The Sheik about 5 seconds to put Brian B-LIER in a hold and have him scream for someone to save him. Sheiky was legit and could stretch anybody he really wanted to. Brian Blair deserves to have the Camel Clutch applied, his back broken and have his ass fucked with a bear bottle old country way!!!
Damn didn't no that's how it was down in the country...
Brian Blair is a no good jabroni son of a bitch.
Marty is the typical surfer dude 😏
I MISS Disco Inferno
He is a legit amazing guy
Miss them all
Marty J is trashed wow give DDP a call MJ!
I met Nicolai once at
fest of San Gennaro and he was a douche bag. Iron Sheik was with him and he treated me great and actually walked around with me a
little bit. Great memory with of Sheiky baby at least...
A to Z daddy!!!!=)
Fuck if Nikolai Volkoff doesn't have the same exact accent as the Iron Sheik.
Holy shit Marty was high
