Anyone who has heard the Iron Sheik lately should be amazed that there was no set incident during his induction speech from 2005. All jokes aside, the Iron Sheik may have been a surprise WWF World Heavyweight Champion when he defeated Bob Backlund, but the Sheik brought to wrestling a very legitimate amateur background that he parlayed into a fluid wrestling game. Excellent on promos, the Iron Sheik was easily among the best rule breakers of his day.
Inducted in 2005 by Sgt. Slaughter. Billed from Tehran, Iran
