Best Promos - Iron Sheik "I Call You a Punk!"

[@chrisvershaw2792]

Notice the flag. It is a pre-Islamic revolution flag of Iran. Shows you the political leanings of the Sheik.

[@johnnyace2396]

You are an "intelihgent Americahn"!

[@rfal]

also gonna note that using the current Iranian flag with the shahada all over it would have had it's logical drawbacks (see the controversy with FIFA trying to put the Saudi flag on soccer balls). So just keep it simple and use that flag or a tricolor with "IRAN" on it. Sheik also used a tricolor with a cartoon Khomeini in the middle sometimes.

[@EnforcerX71]

Sheik is a practicing Shiite Muslim, so no he's not either of those.
