How Good Was The Iron Sheik At Promos... As Far As Entertainment Value?

I always loved the way the sheik always said Gene's name backwards as "Gene Mean". Sheik was definitely one of the best at promos. Hilarious stuff.

Legendary

These promos are entertaining as hell, it's like some iranian Macho Man promo shit

Not as good as HHH.

You see, Sheik. The thing is. In this business. In this industry. The thing of it is. There can only be one guy. And you're looking at him. You see. What matters is. Who can get the job done. And. Lowers sunglasses and peers downwards dismissively you just don't have what it takes. Upstairs. Taps head or downstairs. Ric Flair runs in and low blows Sheik from behind Batista and Randy Orton hold Sheik's arms You see. In this company. In this business. I'm the guy you gotta go through. And the thing of it is. You get in this ring with me. And you don't stand a chance.

Goes to commercial.

In this business. In this universe. You play by myyy rules. Cos I am The Game. In this industry...

Millions of viewers change the channel to the Oxminster Bichon Frise and Poodle Show.

I always thought he was great on the mic.

He made Mean Gene crack or nearly crack all the time in his promos.

Anybody who doesn't think Sheiky Baby is hilarious is not an intelligent Jew businessman.

And what's even funnier than Sheiks promos themselves is Gene Mean trying his hardest to hold it together. Their chemistry was amazing.

There will always be something superbfascinating and strange about these old school wrestlers who just cant let go of kayfabe. Its to the point we dont even know how their real peesonalities are.

Sheik is probably at the top. But have you ever seen interviews with Bob Backlund? Whenever things go out of kayfabe, he instantly switches to erratic Mr Bob Backlund.

Ive always wanted to read some kind of pshycistric report on how it affects your personality to play a character constantly for decades like those guys did. Gotta be like those undercover cops who sometimes go to deep.

During his career. Very few folks considered his mic work solid. This is mainly because very few folks evaluated wrestling like we do now.

He was decent on the mic, but no better.
