The Iron Sheik was a legend in the squared circle, but he was also a legend on the internet, thanks to his Twitter account.

Joining the platform in August 2009, The Iron Sheik amassed nearly 645,000 followers with his irreverent one-liners on a variety of topics, most notably that jabroni Hulk Hogan. This renaissance of sorts was thanks to the brother team Page and Jian Magen, who run the Toronto-based entertainment company Magen Boys Entertainment.

How did two brothers get the opportunity to reintroduce and rebrand The Iron Sheik? According to Inc.com, their father was a very close friend to The Iron Sheik.

While many of Sheiky Baby’s tweets are NSFW, we managed to find some that won’t get you in too much trouble if you’re caught reading them at the office. In tribute to the late wrestling icon that died today (June 7) at age 81, here are just 10 hilarious tweets from The Iron Sheik that are actually sort of SFW. Enjoy or prepare to be humbled.
