This was a very good episode. However, I don’t think you guys talked enough about how great Iron Sheik was. I mean I think it goes without saying he is likely the most influential wrestler in history. Notice I didn’t say pro wrestler. His amateur career transcends all the record books. His pro wrestling career is so phenomenal I don’t even think I have the words to describe it accurately.
Also, let Nick Gage know that I still listen to the podcast.
