An Iranian-American professional wrestler, the Iron Sheik was often portrayed as the anti-American "heel." or bad guy, in the face of patriotic-themed, pro-U.S.A. wrestlers like Sgt. Slaughter or Hulk Hogan. After retiring from professional wrestling, the Iron Sheik became a pop culture sensation on Twitter until his death on June 7, 2023.
