WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker peeled back the curtain on one of the many peculiar moments that have peppered his time in the world of professional wrestling. During an episode of “Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway,” Taker regaled listeners with a tale involving late WWF Legend The Iron Sheik, that can only be described as downright ridiculous.
The story unfolds in a hotel room, setting the stage for what Taker himself deemed a “ridiculous ordeal”. The clock had just struck 1:30 in the morning, and The Undertaker, known for his dedication to rest and recovery, was on the verge of slipping into a well-deserved slumber. However, fate had other plans.
Enter The Iron Sheik, arriving fashionably late about 30 to 45 minutes after Taker had settled in. Instead of the peace and quiet one might hope for after a night of wrestling, The Sheik barged in with exuberance, addressing The Undertaker with a hearty, “Ah excellent Marky Bubba! You get in some good rest”. With that, he promptly laid down and fell asleep, blissfully unaware of the chaos that was about to unfold.
Fast forward a couple of hours, and The Undertaker found himself abruptly awakened by an unexpected chill in the air. Investigating the source of the disturbance, he discovered The Iron Sheik on the balcony, clad only in his wrestling tights, engaging in a series of ‘Hindu Squats’. A perplexed Taker, struggling to comprehend the scene, inquired about Sheik’s peculiar choice of early morning exercise. The veteran, undeterred, proceeded to extol the supposed health benefits of his unorthodox workout routine.
Fortunately for The Undertaker, Sheik eventually rejoined the warmth of the hotel room, allowing the young wrestler to contemplate the bizarre events he had just witnessed. Little did he know, the ordeal was far from over.
In the pre-dawn hours, as Taker attempted to drift back into a restful slumber, he was startled by the sound of the shower roaring to life. Full steam enveloped the room, prompting Taker to huddle beneath his pillow in an attempt to escape the rising humidity. As he sighed in relief at the cessation of the shower, his tranquility was shattered once again, this time by the unmistakable hum of a blowdryer.
Amidst the early morning symphony of oddities, The Undertaker, still a rookie in the wrestling world, mustered the courage to investigate. To his astonishment, he discovered The Iron Sheik diligently blow-drying his mustache. The veteran grappler, who was almost entirely bald, seemed utterly committed to his unique grooming routine.
For the young and green Mark Calaway, this surreal encounter with The Iron Sheik became a memorable chapter in the annals of his wrestling career, showcasing the eccentricities that often accompany life on the road in the world of professional wrestling.
