I have discussed the Persian meels with The Iron Sheik and his present manager Eric Simms, and this ancient exercise, the Jori swing, is by far the most challenging of all exercises. A 15 pound club is equivalent in force because of torque, to a 75lb. dumbbell or 54lb. kettlebell. Even juice head power lifters could not do it.
these guys are all fuckin ediots first of all his name is not persian! second of all persians dont put no tarbans on the top of their heads only arabs do!
@phatlakersfan its a gimmick of course even today most americans dnt know that. they cant tell the difference some americans call the iranian: the i-arabs lolz:)
@mattkosch Yes, at the Ragin Gajun clash of the Champions in Spring 1989. Same show where the Varsity Club beat the road Warriros because of Teddy long being a crooked ref and the 2/3 falls match between Steamboat and Flair.
this is so hard.. shiek trained with cllubs thats why hes used to it...wrestling back in the day was tough guys.. now its just athletic guys and divas.....fake yes but they do pay there dos in order to perform and make money... i used to love wrestling but stopped watching when every match someon e would interfere ..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The "show" called wrestling (I refuse to call it a "sport") is so phony that I have to wonder how heavy those clubs really were. I mean . . . look at the fat gut of the "Shiek." The guy has a huge potbelly, little muscle tone and looks out of shape cardio-wise. Yet we're supposed to believe that this is an "athlete?" LOL Yeah, and I suppose his training partner is who, Santa Claus . . . Pillsbury Doughboy? It looks to me that all these guys are flabby and shot-full of steroids.
that "fat guy the Sheik" would kick your ass any day of the week. Dude was a former amatuer wrestler and an olympian, head security for an Iranian Prestident!!! plus all thebar fights... if hes not a badass i dont know what is, anybody that puts there body on the line like they do now in WWE TNA are athletes, no doubt!! why r u talking shit on here you have nothing else to do with your pathetic little life than stereotype people!!!

I challenge anyone to look at the "Shiek" at 1:59 and tell me that is the fat gut, underdeveloped upper body, skinny calves and high body fat of an "athlete." Looks like the guy who mows the lawn at the golf course. He's probably a friggin mexican pretending to be a "shiek." What a phony piece of 'shiek."
These jerks have to be the biggest group of homosexuals on the planet. Heavy steroid use shrivels their nuts and shrinks their brain. They're afraid to do any real fighting so they do this fake crap and then go pump each other in the ass afterwards. Disgusting. They should all be in a circus, right next to the clowns.
That just show how little you know about wrestling legna453. I suggest you check yourself to a wrestling school and found out by yourself if wrestling is as fake as you claim to be. Yes the winners are decided in advance and part of this buisness is fake. However those guys are trained to do what they do in the ring. And by the way, concussions are frequent in wrestling. Even more than you think. Go ask Brock Lesnar about that or any local wrestlers and they will say the same thing than me!
Winners decided in advance . . . PART of the business is fake (more like 99%) . . . however those guys are trained . . .
Please. Give it a rest. I'll tell you what. If I ever become a fat slob with no motivation or talent to do even the most menial jobs like picking up garbage . . . yes, I'll be sure to check into a "wrestling school." LOL.
Excuse me! 99% fake! that just show that you dont know a damn thing about this buisness my friend. I have been around this buisness for 5 years now with my hometown promotion so i know what im talking about pal. Get into a wrestling school and get your fat ass slammed into the mat then come here and tell me if its still all fake. And yes those guys are trained to do those moves in the ring. You can say that its easy doing a suplex or a top rope dive with a perfect landing, but its not.
Oh, OK, I stand corrected - it's 98% fake. I don't know what a "suplex" or "top dive" are and couldn't care less. I've never seen anything in "professional wrestling" that couldn't be duplicated by a couple of drunken teenagers with hard heads. You have to be an exibitionist half-a-fag to do that in front of people. I'm sure guys like you have no shortage of morons who couldn't make it in clown school and gravitate to "wrestling."
First of all you peice of shit, when someone wants to wrestle for a real wrestling promotion, they need to go trough a wrestling school were they learn all the proper techniques. You just dont go in the ring and hit a swanton bomb without knowing how to land in the proper way because you can cause a lot of dammage if you are not properly trained. Those guys in the ring like Sting, Rey Misterio and many more are well trained atheletes and knows what to do in the ring.
Just take the figure four leglock for example, if you dont know how to apply it properly, you can easily break the legs of the other person. This move is prety simple to do, but it can cause a lot of pain if you dont know how to apply that move carefully.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Or . . . you can just be a fat fag who likes to dress up in tight shorts and sniff other guy's crotches. I would not use the phrase "professional wrestler" in a sentence with "athlete." This type of entertainment appeals to white trash and belongs in a circus. To call it "wrestling" is an insult to real wrestlers everywhere. As for "wrestling promoters" . . . ranks right up there with pimp.
Hey Moron, why dont you just go and ask Leon White better known to the wrestling fans as the Man they call Vader, if he is not trained to do that you stupid Jerk. And by the way, if you think its fake, then why are you watching wrestling videos you stupid peice of human trash.
It looks to me like you have nothing to do in your life other than hiding in your parents basement watching wrestling videos and post some shitty comments. Your just a fucking pain in the ass and a total waste of time!
Hey Flair27 . . . don't fly into a homosexual panic. Untalented fat guys in tights don't turn me on but if you like watching them . . . hey bro, all power to you. You apparently make a living servicing the need of these homos. What can I say? Every man needs to make a living. Just don't try telling the rest of us that they are ATHLETES. I've seen chimps at the zoo doing these same moves for a banana. In fact, chimps do more tricks than your homos. Maybe they have a better promoter?
Real cute legna453, i challenge you to have the same travelling schedule as those guys as well as doing the same thing they do in the ring for a full year. That means training the proper way to learn this buisness. Do what they do over 300 days a week without and then comeback a year from now and tell me how fake it is. I think you will learn the hard way that Wrestling is not as easy as it looks like, especialt when you are on the road 340 days a year and barely have time for your family moron!
Oh and by the way legna453, if wrestlers are not real atheletes, tell me why there is so many former amateur wrestlers, football players and boxers who have became wrestlers over the years? And i can name you some of them boy. Keven Nash former NCAA Basketball player, Jim the Anvil Neidhart former pro football player, JBL dido, Elijah Burke former amateur Boxer, Iron Sheik former amateur wrestler, dido for Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Hass and Kurt Angle and i can go on and on and on. All atheletes
Sting is a coward for not accepting Sheik's challenge. Btw what was the purpose of this meaningless skit. It really advanced the story line not. This was after dusty left so I think either Flair or Herd is responsible for this one.
Sting knew he could not compete with the Iron Sheik Persian clubs, so he act like adiot. He didn't have a guts to try because he know when it come to Persian club, Olympic wrestling, porfessional wrestling, I'm the reaw All-American champwin. Three time I show him and a still he cannot do. Now, a Sting, kiss my Iranian oss and sock my ten ench cook!
sting is showing kids that the way to win a competition and accept a challenge is to not even try and then act like you somehow outsmarted the person who could actually do it.
wow, i remember the iron chic doing this on a mid atlantic wrestling show in 1980 & challenged black jack mulligan to do the same. he tried, but was hit in the gut with a cane by chic's then-manager gene anderson. does anyone have this?
OMG THANK YOU WCWRULES. I think about this promo because it was one of the very first promos I got to see when they reran it in NYC when NWA had a syndicated show here.
I would love to see some of those old We Wrestler and 1-900 number promos too. And Luger turning on Steamboat was another highlight. Oh and Muta, Woman as Robin with Rick Steiner. Ahh the memories.
No way do thoses clubs weight 75lbs a piece, thats just not true. I have been around clubs and maces since the early 80s. Those clubs may have been 35lbs a piece making 70lbs together. A 35lb one handed club swing is MONSTER torque, most people will just never undertsand what that kinda force that creates. Even if those clubs where 30 or 25lbs, thats no small feat of strength at all.
Yes, he is Iron Sheik from Tehran Iran, fuck hulk hogan Tehran #1, USA hack Phoooey!
