- Synopsis:
One of the most outlandish of professional wrestlers, Khosrow Vaziri - a.k.a. The Iron Sheik - is now, at 72, the most outrageous personality on Twitter, a man who routinely shocks even Howard Stern. The story behind the oversized personality is raw, touching, emotional and almost unbelievable. "The Sheik" tells the real life story of "The Iron Sheik" and how he started as an impressive athlete from Iran who built his occupation in America as a professional wrestler. He was banned from the WWF at the height of this career after being busted for cocaine. His life spiralled out of control after his arrest and the death of his oldest daughter, Brooke. Handicapped and on the verge of divorce, a family friend got his life back on track and The Iron Sheik stepped back into the limelight as a social media God. "The Sheik" has a very positive, touching ending. - Actors:
