I have to agree. He was one of my old training partners in the early 80's.

The Iron Sheik was the man.

The Iron Sheik was the man.

I trained with him for awhile as well. A bunch of us trained at Mike Katz's gym in Connecticut. Myself, Tony Atlas, Rocky Johnson, Don Morrocco, Eddie Gilbert, Curt Hennig, Ivan Putski, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, etc, etc.

It was the place to train when we were on the northeast circuit. The gyms were much better back in those days and so were the wrasslers. I hate what the gym industry has become these days. Nothing but fluff clubs. I now train in my garage.

Yeah Studd was a Studd, he was a friend of mine his liver didn't give out by the way he had a rare form a non-Hodgekins lymphoma. Oh yeah I was in the 'Fed on and off for 5 years in the mid 90's, 80% of the guys are on the juice, 10% lie, and 10% are just off there cycle at the time.
