For years, Brian Blair’s name has been linked to the Iron Sheik. In many interviews, including his ClubWWI.com shoot a few years ago, The Sheik has gone on at length about his desire to have broken Brian’s back at WrestleMania 3 and make him “humble” (among other things.) With Brian’s appearance, all the wrestlers from that historic match have now appeared for ClubWWI.com shoot interviews – Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Jim Brunzell, and Jim Duggan. However, it’s still unclear what the issue was between them. It left many confused as to why Iron Sheik would go after Blair with such venom. James asks Brian about their situation and whether the two had heat during their wrestling days.

 

“No. Not so much when we were wrestling. I just didn’t like wrestling him so much because he and (Nikolai) Volkoff, they’re so clumsy. I mean, Nikolai’s a great guy, you know, but when he takes a bump, it’s in five different movements. With the Sheik, you have to strain every muscle in your body to lift him up to slam him. It’s just like working with a couple of guys who are difficult as opposed to a Paul Orndorff or The Hart Foundation or people like that who can move right with you. I like to give it all and it’s like a dance. If you go to a dance and your girlfriend can’t dance, it doesn’t really look too good. “

 

Brian then tells a shocking story about The Iron Sheik smoking crack on an airplane during a wrestling tour. He explains how Sheik got it on the plane, how he lost respect for him because of it, Sheik’s many personal problems, his issues with their WrestleMania 3 match, and more. But that was long ago and many things have happened since then to taint Brian’s take on the former WWF Champion. Blair stings back and explains his feelings about him to ClubWWI.com listeners…

 

“But Khosrow Vaziri, The Iron Sheik, is one of the guys that I have to honestly tell you, he’s probably the only wrestler that I would say I don’t like at all. And that’s a fact.”

 

James says that in some ways, it feels like The Sheik is that kid in school that the other kids get all riled up to see how wild he can be. Blair sees that point and reveals that the Howard Stern show has contacted him to be appear with I.S., but he’s turned them down. Going on the Howard Stern show isn’t the best move for a politician. But going on World Wrestling Insanity is…

 

“Being with you, James, is an honor. World Wrestling Insanity is awesome and I can’t wait to go to ClubWWI.com to check out some more of the stuff.”

 

The Iron Sheik discussion doesn’t end there. The two recently came face to face and the result wasn’t good. During a Wrestling Roast, Blair and Sheik were set to shake hands, but things didn’t go as planned.

 

“I’ve been harped and harped and hounded about it. We did a roast for him and I went up there. You know, he slapped me. I couldn’t believe he slapped me. That wasn’t a work. He slapped me. I was just absolutely stunned. I couldn’t believe it. (I asked myself) Did this really happen? So if I ever have a chance, I don’t know what I could do. Tie an arm behind my back?…I don’t know how old Khosrow is now, but if he’s gonna run his mouth, he’s got to back it up.”
