WWE Villain ‘Iron Sheik’ Goes Ballistic on Glenn Beck: ‘You Deserve to Be Waist Deep in Dog S*** Drink Gasoline…’

WWE Villain Iron Sheik Goes Ballistic on Glenn Beck After Jack Swagger, Zeb Colter Smackdown

After the WWE debuted its Tea Party-inspired characters “Jack Swagger” and his racist manager “Zeb Colter,” Glenn Beck took the wrestling organization to task for vilifying those who likely make up a large percentage of its audience.

After his on-air criticism, the WWE invited Beck to appear on “Raw.”

“Beck references WWE as ‘stupid wrestling people,’ when criticizing a recent WWE storyline involving WWE characters Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio™, Jack Swagger™ and Zeb Colter™,” they said in a statement Friday. “WWE is giving Beck the opportunity to address our 14 million weekly viewers and our global fan base, as he believes we are offending our ‘conservative’ fans with this storyline.”

Beck’s response? “Unfortunately I am currently booked doing anything else.”

In the wake of Beck’s comments, former WWE super villain the “Iron Sheik” went absolutely ballistic on Twitter, tweeting at least seven graphic and violent messages to @glennbeck.

Here are all his related tweets, from oldest to newest (extreme content warning):

the @glennbeck you are dumbest motherfucker in the world I wish I see you so i can beat the fuck out of you no good jabroni lowlife

— The Iron Sheik (@the_ironsheik) February 24, 2013

the @glennbeck you deserve to be waist deep in dog shit drink gasoline you insult my fans Im going to beat the fuck out of you dumb bitch

— The Iron Sheik (@the_ironsheik) February 24, 2013

— The Iron Sheik (@the_ironsheik) February 24, 2013

who deserve to eat dog shit more than the @glennbeck #RejectedOscars

— The Iron Sheik (@the_ironsheik) February 24, 2013

Many responders have added derogatory messages of their own, and the first tweet in the list has been retweeted nearly 500 times as of this article’s publication.

But as Twitchy notes, this is hardly the first time the professional wrestler has gone on a violent Twitter rant. He has expressed similar scorn for Susan Rice, Mitt Romney, and John Sununu, among others.

For a guy who was born in Iran, the Sheik has a remarkably eloquent command of the English language. I couldn’t have put it better myself.

  Lighten up it’s entertainment, besides no one takes this stuff seriously anyway.
  
  The question is, do the 14 million WWE fans still see the Iron Sheik as a heel or do they now see him as a face?
  
  I cannot answer this question myself, I stopped watching years ago.
  
  Don’t give them the time of day and everything they say against you will be meaningless.

  In his prime, Sheik was as legit as they come. He was an olympic caliber amateur wrestler who served as an assistant wrestling coach to the US olympic team after he left Iran. Age, drugs, and alcohol have taken their toll on his body and mind.

This is pure professional wrestling schtick. The most popular performers (they are performers not current athletes, but rather, former athletes) in professional wrestling are the ones who are most outrageous in speech, costume, and moves. It’s all highly choreographed. To me IT IS COMEDY OF THE LOWEST FORM.

From Dictionary.com

shtick or schtick (ʃtɪk) [Click for IPA pronunciation guide]

— n
slang a comedian’s routine; act; piece

[C20: from Yiddish shtik piece, from Middle High German stücke ]

  Iron Sheik is known for talking smack. Beck is right that the WWE is making a big mistake creating a Tea Party villain complete with Gadsden Flag. McMahon will do anything he thinks he can make a buck on. His entourage travels around from city to city like a circus. From what I know his wrestlers have to travel by car to the next town and rent a hotel themselves. They travel close to 300 days a year making it very demanding and tiring on the wrestlers. Plus WWE doesn’t even offer health insurance to any of the wrestlers.

Yawn, it’s not even good theater. Reeks of WWE desperation with falling fanbase as economic realities hit home. It’s hard to spend money on thinly veiled play fighting when there’s already nothing left at the end of the month except next month’s bills.
