No cause of death was given but a Twitter post confirming his death said he “departed this world peacefully”.
The Iron Sheik, a former pro wrestler who relished playing a burly, bombastic villain in the 1980s battles with some of the sport's biggest stars and later became a popular Twitter personality, died on Wednesday , the WWE said. He was 81.
During his pro wrestling career, he donned curled boots and used the “Camel Clutch” as his finishing move during individual and tag team clashes in which he played the role of an anti-American heel for the WWF, which later became the WWE. He later teamed with Sgt. Slaughter as Colonal Mustafa. The Iron Sheik's last appearance in the ring was at WrestleMania 17, the Connecticut-based WWE said.
“I was married to the wrestling mat because I was so much ... in love with the sport,” he said in the film.
