“Bunch Of Stupid American”: 80-Years Old Retired Professional Wrestler Takes Sides in Upcoming FIFA World Cup Match

The FIFA World Cup is one event that gets everyone in the world excited. People move all the biases and prejudices to the side when the World Cup comes home and just enjoy the excitement of soccer. So, it is no surprise that people in the USA are getting excited as the country is playing its third match against Iran. Both countries have a major history with each other, but it has never affected the game whatsoever.

In the 1998 World Cup, this match-up took place, but it was much more than just a soccer match. At the time, the two countries were having political troubles, but when the two teams squared off against each other, they had an amazing match.

Now that the two teams are going against each other, there are tensions again. But as we all know, the power of soccer conquers every heart. And during the build-up to this match, people are picking sides. But it is harder for this WWE Hall of Famer, but he is still picking one nonetheless.

WWE Hall of Famer shares old footage of him berating Americans on TV during the FIFA World Cup match against Iran

One of the most hated characters on WWE TV, The Iron Sheik, recently tweeted about the match. Being from America, his answer should’ve been simple, but he didn’t play it safe. Having played a veteran soldier from Iran who talked about Iran and Russia as greater than America, the legend let the people decide. He even referenced the catchphrase that he and The Rock made popular in WWE, ‘Jabroni’ to give the tweet some flavor.

In the video The Iron Sheik shared on his Twitter, he is in an interview with Vince McMahon from old times. He says, “But intelligent Americans, from John F Kennedy Airport to the Olympic City of Los Angeles, everybody respects the Sheik. They know that Iran is Number 1. Russia is Number 1. They know wrestling comes from Iran. Bunch of stupid Americans. They are sick people! They never go to libraries, never study, and never have an education. Sick people man!”

This tweet might have been the result of the legend keeping in character on Twitter constantly. As a recurring joke, he even roasts and trolls Hulk Hogan whenever he finds a good one.
