30 pro wrestling must-follows on Twitter
No. 6: The Iron Sheik
Twitter handle: @the_ironsheik
The Iron Sheik was a legitimate crazy man in the ring during his days in the then-World Wrestling Federation as one of the most hated stars in the company.
You can make a factual argument that Sheik is crazier on Twitter than he was in the ring. I’m not even joking. Is it actually him tweeting? I have no idea, but I like it.
More of the tweets have much worse language in it, which makes it even better with him tweeting in all caps. Seriously, every one of his tweets is in all capital letters and it’s like he’s shouting just like he did in all of his wrestling promos.
Seriously, book The Iron Sheik vs. LaVar Ball on pay-per-view. WrestleMania 33 is already going to be about 11 hours long, so this could be saved for the next PPV or something. He has an Instagram account as well on top of his stellar tweeting on Twitter and if you don’t follow him on there, he’ll tell you to go … well, you just have to see for yourself.
To be fair to the Sheik, he keeps up with a lot of sports and sometimes, I wonder how. He’s even tweeted about Washington guard Kelsey Plum, who became college basketball’s all-time leading scorer this season on the women’s side. He’s also tweeted about Dancing with the Stars and the occasional episode of Monday Night Raw as well.
There’s not many follows that are better than The Iron Sheik. Follow him, you jabronis.
