  The Iron Sheik had memorable matches with Andre The Giant. Andre saw too often the Iron Sheik going much too hard on Weekend Jobbers-- Guys with some Wrestling  background and trying to make a few extra Bucks besides their Full Time Job. Andre went extra hard on the Sheik as Payback for the Iron Sheik hurting some of these Jobbers for real.

 2 Dangerous moves that has caused multiple  injuries for real that you never see anymore because of their Danger to ending Wrestlers Careers are the Flying Hammerlock as shown by Steele in this video. And the Piledriver. Stone Cold Steve Austin had his Neck broken by the Piledriver.

Met. Him. Salty dog. Hulk hogan. Dick the destroyer. Machoman randy savage,   And  many other from  that time when I work at hotel in my teens in the late 80.    Most were really nice guys.

I have never seen Steele in Real Life- but back in the 1980s in the Warehouse,I worked at- Pro Wrestling was a big topic in the Breakroom with all Age groups.

   One of the better matches, I saw from around Row 7 or so and close to the ring at the Meadowlands was Ivan Putski vs Olympic Weightlifting Medalist- Ken Patera.
