Looks damn good for 81

I vaguely remember he would bring these huge clubs into the ring and twirl them behind his back.

Hell, looks like he'd wanna slam down a few opponents in the ring. At 81 he still is an imposing figure...he's aged well.

A real blast from the past...I remember watching his matches in the early 80s. Was quite amazing!

I remember him. I was youngsters back then but a big WWF fan. He looks really good for 81.

I heard that dude a few times on the Howard Stern show. He’s a fucking wild dude for sure.

Looks great for his age. He coached the US Olympic wrestling in the early 80s if I remember correctly. Greco Roman wrestling

I love this guy. I remember back in early 80's he was the one that put Hulk Hogan's career on fire. He won the belt and was always bad mouthing USA with his manager Fredie Blasi until Hulk came along. I was at the match at Olympic Gardens in LA which is now a church when Hogan beat him for the title. I remember his signature move the Camel Clutch.
He was a true Olympic wrestler from Iran. He was very entertaining.

I started watching him about 1972 when he was wrestling for the AWA. He progressed through many organizations over the years.
