THE LEGEND OF THE EARTH. A TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED SHEIKIE BABY

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The Wrestling Dream

I didn’t just grow up watching wrestling. I grew up around it.

My dad was Iran’s table tennis champion. His best friend was the Iron Sheik.

We went to shows at Maple Leaf Gardens. Afterwards, the wrestlers came to our home for my mom’s Persian food. I sat on Andre the Giant’s lap.

Before I knew the dream, I knew the feeling.

I wanted to be in the ring. Jian and I found our own spotlight as King Page and Celine Jian. Then came TTWF—Twin Tower Wrestling Federation—with Edge headlining our very first show.

That passion became 300+ shows across Canada, all the way to Nunavut, and a journey that led to Maple Leaf Pro.

Then, full circle: a sold-out show at Maple Leaf Gardens. The building we grew up going to as kids. This time, the show was ours.

And Edge? He answered the call.

Today, as a partner, producer, and part of business development at Maple Leaf Pro, I get to live that dream.

Through Magen Ventures, I’m taking that same passion into creating incredible opportunities for my community. A super connector helping good people turn their dreams into something real.

What dream are you ready to chase? DM @magen.ventures Let’s build yours.

In memory of Pahlevan Vaziri (The Iron Sheik) 🦁

Truly one of the greatest wrestlers ever seen in professional wrestling. Known to have an unbreakable tenacity and charisma in the ring unlike any wrestler I’ve ever seen.

And the first one to bring Zurkhaneh to the United States.

The Iron Sheik

WWF Wrestling Superstars Bendies were a 4.5-inch bendable rubber toy line released by LJN in 1985 and 1986.
They served as smaller, near-identical flexible replicas of LJN’s famous 8-inch solid rubber figure line.

TBT! Here are just a few of the wrestling legends I had the absolute honor of working with on my show, “Wrestling With Joeylicious.”
Roddy Piper, Tito Santana, Jimmy Snuka, Jake "the snake" Roberts, Mick Foley...

One of the biggest highlights was having Hulk Hogan all signed on to be a major part of the show. Unfortunately, before we had the chance to make it happen, he passed away. 🥲

Sometimes you have to stop and realize just how crazy the journey has been. ❤️

BUT WE AREN’T FINISHED YET! 👀

Who’s ready for more episodes and more shenanigans??

This display features a rare 2022 Panini Impeccable WWE Championship Debuts Autographed Card of the legendary Iron Sheik.

● Card Breakdown -

• Card Details : The card is a limited-edition insert from the premium 2022 Panini Impeccable WWE set. It is strictly serial-numbered 15/83 on the left side, matching the print run designated for his historic 1983 WWF World Heavyweight Championship victory.

• Signature : It features an authentic, on-card signature in blue ink from the late Hall of Famer.

• Protection : The card is safely held inside a secure, magnetic one-touch protective case and displayed on a miniature wooden tripod easel.

● Background Elements -

• Action Figure : Standing right behind the easel is a detailed Mattel WWE Elite Collection Iron Sheik Action Figure, complete with his traditional gold entrance robe and red headdress.

• Foreground : The entire display is uniquely arranged directly inside a scale-model toy wrestling ring.

The Iron Sheik was one of the most iconic and hated villains in WWE history, reaching the pinnacle of his career by winning the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in 1983. Utilizing his real-life background as an elite amateur wrestler from Iran, he masterfully generated intense crowd heat during the Cold War era by feuding with American heroes like Bob Backlund and Hulk Hogan. His loss to Hogan in 1984 famously kicked off the "Hulkamania" phenomenon and triggered the 1980s professional wrestling boom. In his later years, he gained a massive new generation of fans through pop-culture appearances and a viral, unfiltered Twitter persona before his passing in 2023.
