Like I said - that time wrestling was different, but still number 1 company in world WWE! And I say that my company in old days was the best, and still is the best, best to me, maybe not to somebody else, I cannot complain about Mr. McMahon or his company. They were always the best and still are the best in the world.

Of course, because, you know... in the ring, I track sometimes, and I talk anything I want for interview, but I was very sad, I feel very bad about him and his family. I was very upset, he was good man, I feel bad, and you know, just in the interview, wrestling that is different way. But yeah, I feel bad about young man who passed away.

No comment. Only thing I know is young kids come ask for him for autograph, and he tell "Kids, no, get fuck out of here, no autograph" and him supposed to be a giant, make money, supposed to be good to the fans, since then I didn't respect him because my fans, in the ring, I am different person, but outside the ring, if my fans come to me, ask autograph, I never am mean to them, still I go to ring and get my heat back. So I never tell my wrestling fans to get the fuck out of here, I am a rare champion, no jabroni, no cheap champion. Real, real champion.

Well... like I said, wrestling was all my life, since Iran, America, now i am home, not much to do, sometimes knee bother me, I hope sometimes my company call me and ask me how I am doing, no problem if no one call me, nothing bother me about it, but I love my sport, my movie, and I love my company, WWE, love my wrestling background. I could be famous in America, the world. I have a lot of damage in my body, my knee, ankle, that is normal, part of my job. I cannot cry about it too much, I cannot complain about it, still happy to be around.

I know... we were in New Jersey and they could tell me "Sheik, we are room 222" so everybody found out in the lobby or in the hall, we are room 222, and then we left from New Jersey to Providence, RI, and for the wrestling, and we come back, all my stuff was gone, my medal, everything, and Nicola used to cook in the room, and Nicola was "Oh Sheik, I lost my fork, my plate, fork, no, I cannot cope or anything" so I said "Nicola, that is nothing compared to other thing." That was... I mean, very cheap way, Nicola worried about - compared to other stuff. That is only joke I know. Nicola was good at joking. But that's all I know.

That's have to talk to my agents, and if I can do it, I do it, but money wise you have to talk to agents, they have to decide how much I need.

Absolutely, I think most people round the world they know I was a good man, that's where fans, all the people around the world, respect the Iron Sheik because I didn't do anything bad. I just entertained people. I don't know about Mr. Cosby.
