“Let Me Know When You Ready”- WWE Hall of Famer Calls Out Logan Paul
Iron Sheik was and still is a big icon of the professional wrestling world. His world in the golden era of the business is remembered with fondness and he maintains the storyline rivalry quite hilariously with Hulk Hogan to this day.
However, it seems as if Sheik may have a new lifelong rival emerging out of the horizon. In a recent post on Twitter, he called out YouTuber and Boxer Logan Paul to a face-off as you can see below.

Iron Sheik was a wrestler for decades and ushered in a competitive industry with his skill in the ring. He was the most hated Superstar of all time and defined the role of a heel in the business.
Finding a rival in Hulk Hogan pit him against nearly all of the wrestling fanbase since ‘The Hulkster’ was a full-blown babyface in his early career. He even managed to end Bob Backlund’s five-year reign as WWE Champion.
Sheik was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2005, and continues to maintain kayfabe in his age-old rivalry with Hogan on Twitter. One thing’s for sure; the veteran knows a ‘jabroni’ when he sees one, and Logan Paul may have caught his eye.
Logan Paul had a half-hearted match against Floyd Mayweather
The YouTuber turned boxer recently touched gloves with the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout. The match had no official judges or winner which is why fans were left confused. The fight itself had no real action that viewers hoped for, but the two walked away with heavy purses regardless.
