  • The Iron Sheik's Persian Club Challenge

    • The Iron Sheiks Persian Club ChallengeThe Iron SheikMany Oldschool Pro-Wrestlers had their own strength challenge to confound their opponents and sometimes members of the crowd.

    The Iron Sheik had "The Persian Club" challenge where he offered $1000 to all comers if they could swing a pair of "75 pound" traditional meels for as many reps as he could.

    To my knowledge he was never beaten, and what's more, Sheik used the Persian Club Challenge to injure then-champion Bob Backland before their title match back in '83.
    He's a crafty one, that Sheik.
