JerryvonKramer Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Does anyone know how much Sheik we have on tape? 70s Big Time Wrestling from Detroit has a bad rep, but I was so taken with Sheik's performances in those matches with the Funks that I want to seek out some more. Any and all recommendations welcome. Bobby Heenan always maintains that Sheik was the greatest heel of all time. And certainly in those AJPW tags, he put on a masterclass in villainy. You don't hear Japanese crowds boo like that very often. I was also one of the few people to absolutely love his match vs. Ricky Steamboat on the 80s AJPW set. EDIT: I found this listing ...

Ricky Jackson Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Sheik vs Chief Jay Strongbow (U.S. Title) I recommend starting here, Parv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyol8mc2wZk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I made a start: http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/30890-os-original-sheik/ Without doubt, he is one of the best heat-generating heels of all time. Although for GWE purposes, I don't know how to weigh that yet. It depends if there are any more matches of the quality of the Funks tags in any of this. If "playing one's role" is a criterion though, Sheik is a 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Kind of want you to watch some Chicky Starr Parv. Interested to see what you would think of him as a heat generator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
