The Iron Sheik on Twitter: "RESPECT THE LEGEND FOREVER 😢 https://t.co/Cr6CC9pXSO" / Twitter Frecsh (talk) 15:16, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

His real-life relationship with Hulk Hogan is one that needs to be examined better
There are videos of them together.2601:447:4100:1BE0:79B0:831C:E446:9DA0 (talk) 17:28, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

His year of birth is 1942, not 1943.
Multiple sources wished him a happy 80th birthday on his birthday in 2022, which would put his year of birth at 1942, not 1943. And no reliable source has been provided confirming a birth year of 1943.

Just now, I found another resource saying that he was in 1939. That is uncertain. Sheik's good friend Keith Elliot Greenberg said this "In 1983, when I saw the Texas database with listed birthdays for pro-wrestlers who were licensed in the state, his birthday at the time was listed in their records as March 15, 1939."

Possible being born in 1939
I remember back in 2006 seeing on some site that Sheik was born in 1939. That might have been a confusion of Adnan Al-Kaissie who was born that same month in Iraq. Keith Elliot Greenberg said this "In 1983, when I saw the Texas database with listed birthdays for pro-wrestlers who were licensed in the state, his birthday at the time was listed in their records as March 15, 1939."
