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.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
