Iron Shiek Talks About Winning The WWF Title From Bob Backlund & Dropping It To Hulk Hogan

15

Inside The Ropes Radio with Hugo Savinovich
Show airs Thursday nights at 10:00 p.m.
Available at InsideTheRopes.podbean.com

Winning the WWF Title from Bob Backlund: That was the biggest day in my life. Bob Backlund was WWF Champion for six years. Nobody beat him. I was the first Iranian, Middle-Eastern guy to come there and I beat Backlund in the most famous arena in the world, Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Dropping the belt to Hulk Hogan: “I had so much heat because of the hostage situation going on. McMahon was worried about me. I was the first Iranian to be the champion, he was afraid about somebody hurting me. So I lost the belt to Hogan. It was again Madison Square Garden. I was part of the company, whatever he wanted me to do, I’d do it. I felt bad about it because I was a real wrestler and would’ve liked to stay champ, but Hogan had good charisma and he stole the show every night everywhere he went, so they had every right to have me drop the belt to Hogan.”

Jim Ross Blog: Survivor Series Main Event, Dead Crowd At HIAC, Tag Teams

11

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR wrote about:

Dead Crowd At Hell in a Cell: “Unique crowd in Atlanta on Sunday and not the typical Hotlanta grouping. Either we did not provide what they wanted to see or they, as a group, didn’t connect to the show. Nonetheless, for me it is always good to work in a city where I enjoyed living for so long and in a market that has created so many memories for yours truly.”

WWE’s Tag Team Division “I’m liking the evolution of the tag team scene in WWE and expect to see several teams continue to develop and get more involved in the TV product as time goes on especially over the next few weeks .. Team Rhodes Scholars, in particular, has the chance to become a really viable duo from where I sit.”

Survivor Series “Pleased that WWE is having a traditional, Survivor Series Elimination tag team bout, Team Foley vs. Team Punk, as a feature attraction/main event at the Survivor Series this year in Indianapolis. I’ve always enjoyed seeing multiple conclusions and how teams respond to being a “man down” or more as these bouts progress. Elimination tag bouts are not used that much during the year so seeing a well promoted, main event level one at Survivor Series is encouraging to this fan.”

The Worst Breath In WWE: “I don’t know about (bad) breath, but I will say it’s very difficult to kiss someone when – there was this one match where Bryan and I had just wrestled. I don’t know if you’ve wrestled before, but you get severe cottonmouth. (laughs) It is not prime-time for macking. So, that one was a little odd,” A.J. said.

Linda McMahon Expected To Lose Senate Race & Criticised Over Sandy

“In this part of the country, those who do have TV are seeing attack ads from a woman named Linda McMahon who is running for Senate up in Connecticut airing like nothing had changed juxtaposed against the damage,” Williams said. “It’s just a very strange time.”

It’s worth noting that Linda did cancel campaign events on Monday and Tuesday, and the Hartford Courant reports that both Linda and her opponent Chris Murphy are still running TV ads.

CM Punk & John Cena’s Feud, WWE Tag Team Division, Bella Twins Managing

26

– Even though CM Punk has had his hands full with Ryback in recent weeks, WWE still has plans to conclude the CM Punk vs. John Cena feud. With CM Punk still expected to defend the WWE Championship against The Rock at the Royal Rumble in January, that still gives WWE several opportunities for Punk to wrestle Cena before the end of the year.

– WWE officials remain very happy with the revived tag team division. In just a matter of months, WWE has established several teams as viable contenders to the tag team titles, which mean more now than they have in years.

Even though the tag team tournament had a flat finish due to the championship match at Hell in a Cell ending in a disqualification, team Rhodes Scholar are as the breakout team of the season. Damien Sandow in particular is seen as having major potential when he and Rhodes go their separate ways.

– Former WWE Divas The Bella Twins will be appearing at the CTWE Season’s Beatings event on December 15th from Bethany, Connecticut. They will be signing autographs before the show and managing one of the wrestlers.
