TAPE 720
Quality: EX (*MASTER*)
Length: 2 hrs (2 DVD)
HALL OF FAME: IRON SHEIK PART 1 (One of the less-appreciated stars of the 1980s finally gets
his due with this Hall of Fame feature on 24/7. A little note about this - the last two
Iron Sheik matches listed actually are AFTER the episode of All-Star. I've got a master,
so VQ is EX.)
Iron Sheik Hall of Fame Featurette (Some cool footage, including Sheik in the AWA)
Iron Sheik vs Bob Backlund, MSG, 12/26/83 (Iron Sheik wins WWF World title)
IRON SHEIK VS SGT. SLAUGHTER, MSG, 6/16/84 (JIP - Boot Camp Match - my favorite match of
all-time. I just wish they'd shown the whole thing!)
Iron Sheik's Hall of Fame Speech (This is so freaking hilarious, it's a total must-see.
Almost impossible to describe, Sheik just rambles and rants and brags about himself in
a totally nonobnoxious way. Just great stuff.)
Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoo vs Barry Windham & Mike Rotundo, Wrestlemania I, 3/31/85
(Sheik & Volkoff win WWF World tag titles)
Iron Sheik vs Sgt. Slaughter, MSG 4/23/84 (The first in the famous trilogy of MSG matches
these two had. Now if they'd just release the Boot Camp match in full... )
HALL OF FAME: IRON SHEIK PART 2 (No featurette on this part, just full matches from the Iron
Sheik's career. Nothing particularly spectacular here, but it is nice to have a rare
Sheik title defense in high VQ. I've got a master, so VQ is EX.)
Gimmick Battle Royal, Wrestlemania 17, 4/1/01
Iron Sheik vs Tito Santana, Philly, 1/21/84 (This is the only successful title defense for
the Iron Sheik available on video.)
Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff vs British Bulldogs, SNME, 5/3/86 (2/3 Falls)
Iron Sheik vs Pedro Morales, MSG, 6/14/86
