This is the legend The Iron Sheik. AMA.

Thank you so much for doing this AMA.

My father Parviz was a close friend of yours in school back in Tehran. He has very fond memories of you.

Here is a picture of him when he was about 16: http://imgur.com/IqPYdu5

In around 1985, when I was about 6 years old, he took me to a WWF event in San Diego where you had a tag team match. After your bout you came out and took us all back stage.

Thank you so much.

I love Parviz. Iranian friends always good to me. Have not seen him in long time. I miss my home. God bless all of you. All good to me.

Would you rather fight 100 duck sized Hulk Hogans, or 1 Hulk Hogan sized duck?

No question, no comment, you ask my agent that question.

The Rock, he doing great, but he learned from ME, call everybody Jabroni. He great performer. Good father, good wrestler, good mother, him doing great so far, I watch his movie, everything he do so far excellent very very good man.

Did you work at a place called DoAll Twin Cities in Minneapolis during the 1970s? My mom worked there and she claims you were a kind, soft-spoken man.

Oh, thank you. And DoAll company? In Minnesota? And I used to come to America, I worked in Minnesota because my coach, Mr Alan Rice, one of greatest all American coaches, invite me over there, and I was wrestling there and I work over there, but i was very very good wrestler at that time, Mr. Alan Rice, god bless him, greatest coach for All-American team, and my team was 5 years champion, I cannot forget about Minnesota, was greatest state for me and I was so happy to have a coach and to be there with Mr. Alan Rice Olympic coach.

My husband was so excited to see you were doing an AMA. He was telling me about the cartoon you were on with the other WWF stars back when he was a kid. He remembers all the characters.

Do you have any stories you can share about Andre the Giant?

Thanks you're the best.

No comment. Only thing I know is young kids come ask for him for autograph, and he tell "Kids, no, get fuck out of here, no autograph" and him supposed to be a giant, make money, supposed to be good to the fans, since then I didn't respect him because my fans, in the ring, I am different person, but outside the ring, if my fans come to me, ask autograph, I never am mean to them, still I go to ring and get my heat back. So I never tell my wrestling fans to get the fuck out of here, I am a rare champion, no jabroni, no cheap champion. Real, real champion.

I love my wrestling fans, and my movie fans, and I cannot not feel it. Because always somebody out there look out for me. God.

If there is one other wrestler through wrestling history you could wrestle, besides yourself, who would it be?

All generation was a Sergeant Slaughter, he was one of the greatest performer, and new generation, Hulk Hogan come, John Cena or probably something like that.

Did you ever think you'd see the day where Iron Sheik more loved than Bill Cosby?

Why do you hate jabronis so much?

I mean, I don't hate them... in young days, I did an interview, I used the word 'jabroni' because the people that I fight were not in my class. Jabroni people do not live up to the Iron Sheik level.

That was... I mean, very cheap way, Nicola worried about - compared to other stuff. That is only joke I know. Nicola was good at joking. But that's all I know.
