Sadly, WWE Hall of Famer The Iron Sheik has died. The passing of the legendary professional wrestler was confirmed in a statement shared on his social media accounts.

“Today, we gather with heavy hearts to bid farewell to a true legend, a force of nature, and an iconic figure who left an incredible mark on the world of professional wrestling,” the statement reads. “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.”

Born Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri, The Iron Sheik famously defeated Bob Backlund at Madison Square Garden for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in December of 1983. Sheik lost the title less than a month later to Hulk Hogan, helping to kick-start the company’s immensely successful “Hulkamania” era. In 1985, the iconic grappler teamed with Nikolai Volkoff at the inaugural WrestleMania to win the WWF World Tag Team Championship from The U.S. Express (Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo). He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.
