10 wrestlers who got desperate enough to ask fans for money

#7 Iron Sheik

Sheik is one animated character!

The Iron Sheik is one of the most animated people to ever step foot into a ring.

Chances are, you have probably come across one of his crazy Twitter rants, or perhaps seen one of his outlandish shoot interviews on YouTube. Regardless of how you keep up with The Iron Sheik, you are probably aware of how far off his rocker he is.

Ever since he retired from in-ring action, Sheik has talked about wanting to film a documentary about his life. This was the reasoning behind his efforts to reach out to fans for help raising funds.

In 2013, The Iron Sheik created an Indiegogo account, in hopes of raising 100 thousand dollars to fund his filming project. After a quick search, it appears that account is still up and active, with a little over 40 thousand dollars raised so far.

This is an interesting revelation considering that his official documentary was released in 2014, which had a fantastic response from the wrestling community.
