The Iron Sheik, Iran's only WWE champion and one of Hulk Hogan's greatest rivals, has died at age 81, his team announced on Wednesday.

“It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of The Iron Sheik, but we also take solace in knowing that he departed this world peacefully, leaving behind a legacy that will endure for generations to come,” his team wrote in a statement posted on Twitter.

“His journey from a small village in Iran to becoming one of the most recognisable figures in the world of wrestling is a testament to his unwavering determination.”

Born in Damghan, Iran, Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri moved to the US in the 1960s and became an assistant coach for two US Olympic teams in the 1970s.

He joined the WWE in 1980 and embraced his character as “one of the most notorious villains” in the industry. His charisma brought entertainment to the wrestling world at a time when the Iranian hostage crisis escalated tension between Washington and Tehran.

Vaziri won one WWE world heavyweight championship in 1983 and was part of a championship team with his partner, Nikola Volkoff. They were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

Hulk Hogan would go on to defeat The Iron Sheik to win the world championship belt at Madison Square Garden in 1984.

His arguably most memorable match was against Sgt Slaughter, which played into nationalistic ideologies. The American wrestler defeated The Iron Sheik in the classic Boot Camp Match at Madison Square Garden.

Vaziri's character was rebranded during the height of the first Gulf War and he teamed up with Slaughter and General Adnan. The trio lost to Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior in the 1991 SummerSlam.

Outside of his wrestling moves, The Iron Sheikh was known for his catchphrases. Dwayne Johnson credited the wrestler for creating the word “jabroni”, a word used to describe a foolish person.

“His memorable catchphrases and unforgettable moments are etched into the memories of fans worldwide. He left an indelible mark on the industry, and his influence can still be felt in the world of wrestling today,” Vaziri's team wrote.

He is survived by his wife, two daughters and five grandchildren.

Yes!

The counts were based on what they could see! You can't count what you can't see!


How many things have you seen in your Bible for you to believe in them? Allah says it in the Qur'an and we believe it.

Google earth can't locate the the tower of Babylon in your Bible.

So you be international arguer for Christ! Good For you! How many have accepted Christ through your arguments?

The reputation of Islam is and will always grow stronger regardless of your abuse and ill-will!
You control nothing in the sphere of things!

TenQ:
When Mohammed copies what he knows nothing about. Any thing he story he hears, he put in the Qur'an as the words of Allah without understanding the timing, context, history or placement.

They are supposed to be Gog and Magog
Rev 20:8:
"And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."

Someone from the east went to Kano and was speechless and dumbfounded. He said he spent his entire life thinking the North is just like a war remnants and only mud houses with no running water or tarred roads. He thought when he comes he will meet people falling on the streets because of hunger.

That’s actually what most of them think of the North until they come. The bad thing is they will not take their surprises back home because everything there is validation, validation and validation. You either do what we want or we cancel you. No respect for opinions or even elders.

A father and his son have been found guilty of murdering his wife's new partner after they found him hiding in a wardrobe.

Wayne Peckham, 49, and his son, Riley Peckham, 23, were both jailed for life, for a minimum of 24 and 18 years respectively, for killing Matthew Rodwell, 39.

After their sentencing at Norwich Crown Court on Tuesday, police said the father and son acted “in jealous rage, like a pack of animals”.

The pair hunted Rodwell down and found him hiding in a wardrobe at his home in Downham Market, Norfolk, in January 2022.

Wayne Peckham, estranged from his wife Kerry Peckham, let himself into the house she shared with Rodwell after her son Riley Peckham had climbed through a first-floor window.

The father and son, from Hilgay, Norfolk, beat and strangled Rodwell to death in front of Mrs Peckham.

The pair had denied murder but were found guilty on Tuesday following a six-week trial.

Wayne Peckham was also convicted of two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm over an earlier assault against another man which happened in Downham Market in December 2021.

The Victim Rodwell, who was a refuse worker and father-of-two, hid in the wardrobe and made a 999 call to police, while Riley was heard in the background shouting, “You are going to die”.

Riley Peckham and Mr Rodwell fought upstairs, before the victim ended up at the bottom of the stairs where the attack continued. He died at the scene. The cause of death was later declared to be manual strangulation.

Rodwell had suffered 40 "significant" injuries from being kicked, stamped and punched.

Senior investigating officer, Temporary Detective Chief Inspector Chris Burgess, from Norfolk Police, said: “Wayne and Riley acted in jealous rage, like a pack of animals, and the sentences passed today mean they can longer be a danger to anyone else.

“As ever, our thoughts remain with Matthew’s family and friends, and we will continue to support them for as long as they need.”

An increased reward of £10,000 has been announced in the search for a third murder suspect wanted for the death of a 50-year-old man at a party.

Robert Powell was shot multiple times in Roydon, Essex, on 13 June 2020.

Israar Shah, 38, from Brentwood, and Nana Oppong, 42, from Newham, have been arrested on suspicion of murder in recent months.

The charity Crimestoppers has upped its reward in the search for Temitope Adeyinka, a.k.a "Limo" 38, also from Newham.

Det Sup Stephen Jennings, of Essex Police, said: "There's a loving family, a mother, children, grandchildren, who have spent more than two-and-a-half years in a state of limbo and grief. "They need and deserve answers."

Mr Powell, a father-of-three and grandfather-of-two, was fatally wounded outside a house party in Water Lane in the early hours of the morning.

Two women received single gunshot wounds in the incident.

Police said Mr Oppong, who previously lived in West Road in Newham, was detained trying to enter Morocco from Spain in September last year.

He was later arrested on suspicion of murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and wounding without intent, and is due to be extradited to the UK.

Essex Police said Mr Shah had been located in Spain and extradited into UK custody. He is due to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court charged with murder on 12 June.

Police said the third suspect Mr Adeyinka, also known as Limo, was subject to a European Arrest Warrant.The force said he was about 5ft 8ins tall (1.7m) and of medium build.

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Temitope Adeyinka (a.k.a Limo) is asked to call 999 immediately.
