    After 9-11 I was one of the National guardsmen at the airport in Vegas. I got to meet a lot of interesting people, including MC Hammer, Mohamed Ali, and the Iron Sheik. The Iron Sheik was walking through while my battle buddy and I were standing between the delta checkpoint and monorail; he saw us and came over and talked to us for about a half hour and left us with signed photos. Dude was totally chill, and really seemed to enjoy hanging out with two soldiers standing at their checkpoint. R.I.P. Brother.

    I think the best thing for me was the level of love and respect they all had for Gene. He got away with ribbing them and saying things that would have gotten an average person punched. They knew how good he made them look and how easy he made that part of their job. The guy is the best 1 - on 1 interviewer in the history of pro wrestling. There were better partnerships and better in-ring announce guys, but NOBODY beat Jean 1 to 1.

    I dont disagree with you about the love he got but I don't think he "got away with it" cause he was one of the boys you know? Like I was in the army and we would constantly go out of our way to annoy each other, play pranks and whenever we would bump into someone from a different branch we'd heckle the hell out of each other but we had zero tolerance for regular civilians messing with one of our guys. I remember we was in a bar and some local guys was talking shit to a recent national guard recruit saying he was a weekend warrior and a toy soldier. We made it very clear to them that unless they actually have the balls to enlist and endure the training you don't have the right to show that guy disrespect, yeah we joke about his branch but he's still our brother. Then we bought the guy a few beers and proceeded to talk shit about him needing "real" soldiers to save his ass lol I imagine being a pro wrestler back then was like that

    When the WWF first started their expansion they came to Denver I think it was 1985, the Shiek was there and he talked to us in the hallway of the old Denver Auditorium Arena for about 30 minutes after his match. Nice guy, he wanted to know about each of us and how we were doing in school and if we were eating right and doing some sort of daily exercise. You would have never thought that he would have the problems later in his life with drugs and whatnot. He treated us like he knew us for 10 years.

    People close to him say before his daughter was murdered, Iron Sheik was just a character for the camera and in the ring, but he was still Ali Waziri outside the ring. After his daughter was murdered, he went off the deep end with drugs and morphed into being the Iron Sheik 24/7 as himself. Sad story, but he seems to have finally cleaned up enough and will be 81 in a few months from this post. Considering most wrestlers die young, Sheiky surviving into his 80s is amazing.

    I had a connection to greatness many years ago. Back in the Sgt. Slaughter/Iron Sheik days, the WWF came to my town. A local radio personality who was a friend was hired as ring announcer. After the show, he told my wife and I that the wrestlers were playing cards and perusing men's magazines between matches. He also said that of all of them, the nicest and most respectful was the Iron Sheik. He proclaimed his love of the USA, and his appreciation for the people of the USA giving him a chance to be a successful athletic entertainer. He was a really good guy, God rest his soul.
