The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff were the perfect villains for the early 80's. A young Franky T hated those two. Simpler times.

He was before my time but I went down the rabbit hole of watching his interviews awhile ago and he was great. His interviews with Gene Mean were hilarious. He would always make sure to mention that Okerlund was Jewish. Okerlund was best man at his wedding. :lol:

It's difficult to convey how upset I was as a kid when the Iron Sheik attacked Bob Backlund during the Persian Clubs Challenge.
