@@eyehatefarcebook11 Yep. Things r moving too fast. People r wrapped up in themselves. The govt is past the pt of no return and our environment is trashed. Glad I am getting old.
I got to say now I see why Iron Sheik and Gene Mean...lol....have such great chemistry together when they did promos....he was the best man at his wedding awesome
Cyndi Lauper, the only one to break character and speak from the heart. It’s a shame she isn’t in the WWE HoF - she was as responsible for the 80s wrestling boom as Hogan was. The whole MTV Rock N Wrestling Connection directly fed into the first WrestleMania. Without Lauper, the mainstream wouldn’t have paid any attention.
Are you serious Cindy Lauper isn't in the WWE hall of fame? That's a joke and a bad joke at that. I also recently heard one of the greatest heels ever King Kong Bundy was not put in the WWE hall of fame before he died. WTF.
I was waiting for the classic "Heenan humour". I thought it wasn't going to happen... until the "I'll make sure 10, 20 people vote for ya". Classic Heenan 😆
Legend has it that if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of the jail cell being slammed in the background when Blassie calls the judge a pencil neck geek. I miss this kind of insanity on wrestling.
I’d like the manager role…distract ref, put the foot on the ropes to break the count..eventually get the baby face punch in the face and cut those scathing promissory promos where I get to slap the oil on the roided up goof(s)
the Iron Sheik with: "Classy" Freddie Blassie, Arnold Skaaland, Bobby "the Brain/Weasel" Heenan, Captain Lou Albano ("the Guiding Light" - like that weekday / afternoon soap opera tv series), "Mean" Gene Okerlund, (1985) Grammy-award winning) Cyndi Lauper (who was similar to Madonna or Lady Gaga : all New Yorkers/Yawkers) = all of these People are definitely Legends / Hall of Famers !!!!!
LOL After the editing they included Mene Gene, Cindy and perhaps Bobby Heenan (I say perhaps due to his heel background) in the final cut. If that didn't work I guess it was plan B that Vince went with and that was to buy his way out. Much love to Sheiky BABY!!!!!
If this had been for "Da drugs A to Z bubba" then I'd have said Sheik is guilty as hell. But being related to, and being friends with pro wrestlers I have personally seen 'fans' after shows and at bars try and step up and try to insult or engage in fights, believeing these guys are who they are 24/7.. I could see people (before fans knew what it was all about) trying to fck with Sheik... But Sheik in the 80s was a tough son of a bitch, and these were the day when guys would beat the hell out of the anybody who tried to bring the curtain of reality down.. These guys should thank God this wasnt Haku!!! Sheik Baby #1!
Back in 1985 Sheik was arrested after getting into a scuffle with a 17 year-old gas station attendant in Connecticut. Apparently the kid was a fan of wrestling, but not of Sheik. . . The judge of the case was a wrestling fan as well, so Sheik's attorney, Mickey Sherman got the idea to use everyone in the video as a character witness. It must have worked 'cause the Sheik received "accelerated rehabilitation" and no jail time.
When did this happen and what did he get in trouble for?. I've heard about the incident with a girl involving Marty Janetty but this gem is way before the rockers came to the WWF.
They should mention the fact that Sheik helped thousands of people get off drugs. They had no choice but to kick the habit since Sheik singlehandedly consumed all the drugs in the tri-state era.
Was this when sheiky baby gave a short clothes line to that lady who was trying to be a prostitute and use sheiks medicine and hook up with marty jannety?
I love how Iron Sheik almost gets into character when Lou Albano is talking about him. He's ready to make the judge humble
LMAO
Zoom it !
This Vennesday! VATEVER!!
When Cindy Lauper in her prime defends the Sheik, the judge knew he screwed up.
Crazy thing is Mean Gene was the best man at the Iron Sheiks wedding for real.
Mean Gene bringing it all together, as always, with his endless reservoirs of class, charm and decency. The absolute best.
Gotta love the Sheik. Also miss the captain and Blassie very much.Those were the best days and funniest in wrestling history.
Lou Albano said about Iron Sheik what a lot of people, even today, should be reminded of before they judge Sheik.
Respect to both of them.
FinalDinal Indeed Rest In Peace Captain Lou Albano aka Super Mario!!!
@@allwightallwong5045 no , thank you Mr acavano!
I never understood the rubber band thing on his beard though....
"Listen you judge, ya pencil neck geek . . . :" Brilliant.
alan dvorkis Love it, I miss ole' Freddie Blassie.
@@eyehatefarcebook11 Seems like everything old is better.
alan dvorkis Old enough to remember, but still too young to enjoy it. Great memories good and bad. Just a simpler, more laid back time.
@@eyehatefarcebook11 Yep. Things r moving too fast. People r wrapped up in themselves. The govt is past the pt of no return and our environment is trashed. Glad I am getting old.
Come on, Freddy Blassie! Calling the Judge a "Pencil-necked geek" ain't doin' the Iron Sheik any favors! It's just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too threatening!
I love the way all these guys stayed in character.
This will totally get him off the hook , what judge wouldn't eat this up...LEGEND !!!!
4:22
"But Do You Feel Strongly About It?"
Captain Lou was the Best.. 👍🏿👍🏿🤣😂
Sherman's reactions make this pure gold. I haven't laughed out loud this hard in a long while. BTW, In a collection of legends, Blassie is KING!
That was phenomenal especially Captain Lou! 👍🏽😎😜
Kosgrow is a good man!!!!
I got to say now I see why Iron Sheik and Gene Mean...lol....have such great chemistry together when they did promos....he was the best man at his wedding awesome
These old guys are funnier than today’s wrestlers
It was hysterical back then. Such low budget production makes it much funnier as well
Loved Freddie Blassie's speech, Listen judge ya pencil neck geek, lol
He was one of a kind. Lot of those managers gone now.
Wow, that's the first I've ever heard Cyndi in a normal voice. AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE
Freddie Blassie's testimony should have been enough.
To get Sheik life in prison
What a unique piece of professional wrestling this is. Can something be a shoot and kayfabe at the same time? If so...this is it!!!
This is the weirdest video I've ever seen. I'd love to know more about the case.
I think he was accused of assaulting a cop
Shiek needs a new defence team
@@20FreeWill back then they were on legit super star level..Like Jim says the were the equivalent of NBA and NFL stars today..They really were tho..
I think sheik was stopped by police with cocaine, Marijuana, and alcohol in New york?
It is such a weird video... why would they think this would possibly help him beat the case?

This is one of the carniest things I've even seen & it is amazing lol
I was waiting for the classic "Heenan humour". I thought it wasn't going to happen... until the "I'll make sure 10, 20 people vote for ya". Classic Heenan 😆
5:42 Just when you think things can't get any weirder...
Just ready about this in The Six Pack. Absolutely tremendous video!
Gene Mean: "And Judge Rotman I've always been a big proponent of yours..." * puts hand in pocket*
Gene was the best.
Can your friends be this supportive like this ☝🏻
Meanwhile UA-cam is full of clips with iron shirk threatening to break peoples backs
shooting promos on a judge to help sheik,wow.
okerlund was the mvp in these promos.
Some of the greatest promos I've ever seen
They should do this anytime a wrestler gets in trouble.
Legend has it that if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of the jail cell being slammed in the background when Blassie calls the judge a pencil neck geek.
I miss this kind of insanity on wrestling.
Hahaha
Captain lou as a character witness…lol
Bobby the brain could have been a lawyer. Thankfully,he didn't
RIP Sheiky Baby
I wish I was a wrestler at this time.
I’d like the manager role…distract ref, put the foot on the ropes to break the count..eventually get the baby face punch in the face and cut those scathing promissory promos where I get to slap the oil on the roided up goof(s)

Off camera shirk was just as volatile he was jsrd to get along with even hillbilly Jim said he was a crazy man
@@michaelrubin4832 Na i have meet Sheik a few times over the years, and he is funny as hell. He loves his beer.
That A to Z shoot happened way later than this
Can anybody provide some CONTEXT to this?! I've never see this before. Thanks.

I love how they try to kayfabe “the language problem” when the Sheik had been living in the US at least 15 years at this point.
How was the sheik so quite for so long?
This had to be a rib on someone. No way that was ever really meant to be shown in public. Hopefully it was a rib on Vince!
Bobby Heenan basically bribing the judge
Kevin Nash "KLIQ This" Podcast brought me here
That was a great piece.
Judge, I beg your pardon, but how can you say that these character witnesses are not reliable? 😁
I must say, I wouldn't mind having Bobby Heenan as defense attorney, the man was intelligent and very articulate.
When did this happen and what did he get in trouble for?. I've heard about the incident with a girl involving Marty Janetty but this gem is way before the rockers came to the WWF.
I think assault?
Capital luo albano, you said it perfact!!
Where the fuck is Gene Mean he always interviewed the Shiek plus I think Classy Freddie Blassie would have made a great mob boss!
Promo on the judge, days when wrestling was great and kayfabe running wild.
These guys are the best...
They should mention the fact that Sheik helped thousands of people get off drugs. They had no choice but to kick the habit since Sheik singlehandedly consumed all the drugs in the tri-state era.
freddie blassie calling the judge a pencil neck geek is fucking hilarious
Blassie and Albano LMFAO 🤣
Bobby Heenan should have been a lawyer
The Iron Shiek got a Cop in the cammel clutch??
The Kliq This podcast brought me here
The quietest ive ever seen THE IRON SHIEK
Absolute GOLD
Hulk Hogan must have started this mess with the Iron Sheik
I heard that Classy Fred Blassie had something to do with the Black Dahlia murder.
Love. You Iron sheik good Boddy
What was the case??
What was the outcome of the case?
Love all these wrestling luminaries especially Cindy Lauper
Captain Lou, Super Mario Bros SUPER show!
What is the story behind this?
I wonder if he called the judge a jabroni
Bobby Heenan… He Respect The Legend!!!
Mean Gean is fantastic
RIP Gene Mean
CLASSIC!!
I wonder if any of these people said these things under oath.
They turned a real incident, into a work
Everything about the iron sheik and the ayatollah blassie was crazy.I heard he wrecked a hotel room and had some issue with the police at some point.
They should have also had Ted Dibiase in this too. He was very well spoken.
"Judge everybody has a price bahahahahahaha"
Did it work?
You should have seen his face when he said he was a silver medalist
Blassie lol I'm sure that helped.
expostulate?
A transitional verb that means to discuss or examin.
Lauper should save this same speach for her son. Ty
Did that judge win the election? He sure had a bunch of votes that he could count that were promised to him.
Is this a worked shoot?
This is hilarious 😂
I DON'T THINK BLASSY DID ANYTHING GOOD FOR THE SHIEK. I WOULD BE TERRIFIED TO WALK in that courthouse
3 goat managers Freddie,Bobby and Lou rip also to mean gean
Was this when sheiky baby gave a short clothes line to that lady who was trying to be a prostitute and use sheiks medicine and hook up with marty jannety?
Bridgeport CT 😂😂
Was this real or just a work?
Was this Kayfab?
Judge rottman wasn’t easy and doesn’t take pity
Lou bit of spag bowl on your face
hah whole time shiek was just hanging but when gene came out he took it seriously
he loved gene
What’s the context of this?
the iron sheik got charged with assault and this is the testimony they used in the court
I love her new york accent.
Love Albano. R.I.P.
CYNDI! What happened to your voice?!?
Makes us remember just how good the old guys was.
i now we have to deal with wrestler like roman reigns ...... old school bubba
arashmusic siri you don't have to deal with nothing n neither do I it's none of our business remember wrestling is fake
Yeah but they get scripted, not their fault
