** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J2-KqnSXso The Jews, apparently]].
** Turns into a combination of AffablyEvil, WorthyOpponent and {{Troll}}, because after the camera cuts, Sheik goes, "Hey, Macabee, that was a good promo, huh?"



* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Much like CM Punk, the Iron Sheik ''despises'' Chris Brown for beating Music/{{Rihanna}}. His tirades against Brown on twitter are hysterically funny until you realize that the Sheik's [[{{Tearjerker}} daughter was strangled to death by her boyfriend in a domestic violence incident]] not too different from the one between Brown and Rihanna.



* TearJerker: Every single time he tweets about the death of one of his friends in the wrestling business. It's so jarring compared to what he [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness usually tweets]], and there is a deep sadness in those tweets.

* BadassDecay[=/=]DentedIron: Won the Gimmick Battle Royal at ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} XVII'' (which included Wrestling/{{Kamala}}, Wrestling/SgtSlaughter, Nikolai Volkoff and [[Wrestling/TheBushwhackers the Bushwhackers]], not exactly spring chickens) because he was the only one who could not safely take the bump over the top rope to the floor.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Sheik served as one in the middle of a political crisis in Toronto. The mayor at the time, Rob Ford, had been suspected for months of using cocaine, with several media outlets claiming to have seen a video of it that informants were trying to sell. In November 2013, Ford abruptly admitted to the cocaine use, causing a massive protest to form outside city hall. Enter the Iron Sheik, who showed up at city hall being pushed in a wheelchair, yelled at a media scrum, then virulently denounced the mayor and ''challenged him to an arm-wrestling competition'' before being asked to leave by security for being too loud. Amidst the backdrop of the mayor of North America's fifth-largest city admitting to drug abuse, Sheik's appearance and the news headlines it generated were downright surreal. [[https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/iron-sheik-wwe-legend-challenges-rob-ford-to-arm-wrestle-1.2417370 His interview with the media must truly must be seen to be believed.]]

The mayor at the time, Rob Ford, had been suspected for months of using cocaine, with several media outlets claiming to have seen a video of it that informants were trying to sell. In November 2013, Ford abruptly admitted to the cocaine use, use during an unrelated morning press conference, causing a massive protest to form outside city hall.
