The Iron Sheik became WWE Champion in 1983 when he defeated Bob Backlund at Madison Square Garden. The Iron Sheik held the title for just under a month before losing the championship to Hulk Hogan on January 23, 1984 in one of the most-famous matches of all time. Although The Iron Sheik lost, he was involved in the match that launched the career of Hulk Hogan, which put professional wrestling in the mainstream light for the first time. A former amateur wrestler in his native Iran, The Iron Sheik was best known for his crippling Camel Clutch maneuver. After losing the WWE Championship, The Iron Sheik engaged in one of the most famous and nationalistic rivalries in wrestling history when he butted heads with Sgt. Slaughter. The Iron Sheik has even added the rare inscription of "GOD IS GREAT" in Arabic and HOF 05.
