Amazingly, the Sheik was still wrestling 50 years later!

The Sheik retired in 1998 and died in 2003.

Most riveting commentary I’ve ever heard. He sounds excited to be there.

When did the Sheik start with the stabbing opponents?

@@nelsonporter8387: I remember Sheiky starting to use the foreign objects around '68 or so; prior to that, he would rough up his opponent viciously, setting them up for his trademark Camel Clutch, also using the usual heel tactics he was well known for.....

i do love a good headscissors, and that Sheik sure was a good looking wrestler back in the day.

Harry Lewis looks like a used car salesman, wrestling on the side for extra $$$. Kind of amazing how the Sheik went from a wrestler to a mauler and became the king of "hardcore" wrestling. He ran the Detroit Cobo promotion from 64-80.

Wrong Sheik. You’re thinking of the Iron Sheik. This is the original Sheik.

Makes a change to see The Sheik doing proper wrestling rather than being a coward and using a weapon!!

Most guys gave at the office. The Sheik (Ed Farhat) gave in the ring, generously dishing out discipline. He gets his submission with a boot grinding into the back here.
