When a Twitter account (@bovadaofficial) asked the audience which athlete is an overall good human being, Sheik had the same old reply ready in his drafts.
Iron Sheik said, “HULK HOGAN MAY HAVE BEEN A DUMB SON OF A B*TCH IN THE RING BUT OUTSIDE THE RING HE WAS ALSO A DUMB SON OF A B*TCH”
Sheik’s harsh words evoked a lot of fans’ reactions because of how random the tweet was.
You are the reason I stay on Twitter

Some fans said he was the reason they stay on Twitter while others called Sheik’s response ‘the nicest he’s ever been to Hogan.’

As mentioned before, this isn’t the first time The Iron Sheik tweeted about the former WWF champion. The 583k followers on Sheik’s Twitter account follow him for his weird but relatable rants and weekly Hulk Hogan slander.
It’s safe to say that this hate train against Hogan won’t stop anytime soon from Sheik’s end.
THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN 2020 IS HULK HOGAN.

Why does The Iron Sheik hate Hulk Hogan?
The first time Hulk Hogan became a WWF champion was after beating The Iron Sheik. Sheik was a WWF champion for less than a month and beat Bob Backlund to win it.
WWF crowned Sheik as the champion so that Hogan could beat him for it, eventually. He was a buffer champion, but arguably the most critical one who pushed WWE into the Golden Era.

However, something went wrong along the way due to which Sheik and Hulk have bad blood even today.
According to fans on Quora, after Hogan beat Sheik for the WWF title, the new champion promised him that Hogan would return the favor to the Iranian. Sheik assumed he would get more opportunities and a shot to win the title again, but none of that happened.
In another incident, Hulk Hogan claimed that former American Wrestling Association owner, Verne Gagne, offered The Iron Sheik money to break his leg.

Sheik has also spoken about this matter, saying they offered him $100,000 to do the same.
However, Greg Gagne, Verne’s son, denied all rumors of the accusation.

Now it is unknown if the beef between Hogan and Sheik has been squashed since, but looking at The Sheik’s tweets and attitude, one would believe that the bad blood remains.
But it could also be kayfabe on Sheik’s part, and if it is, then he’s played it out to perfection.
