The Wrestling Observer Newsletter named Brian Solomon's “Blood And Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling's Original Sheik” the Best Book of 2022! It tells the story of Ed Farhat aka The Sheik and how this veteran, family-man, and businessman became wrestling's most feared villain! Brian explains how he pieced together The Sheik's story given his whole life was a complete mystery shrouded in kayfabe until his dying days. Brian chronicles the Sheik's wrestling start, his early matches, how and when he morphed into his character, his feud with Bruno Sammartino, what inspired him to start and run his own territory in Detroit, and how he was able to go years without losing! He talks about The Sheik's promotional war against Dick The Bruiser in Detroit, his impact in Japan during the 70s with Giant Baba's All Japan, his resurgence in the 90s at FMW, the fire match that nearly killed him, his time working for Vince McMahon Sr., and his last matches tagging with his nephew and protégé Sabu. Brian Solomon also spent 7 years working for the WWE Magazine in the early 2000s and has some great behind-the-scenes tales about the stories featured in the mag including why Chris Jericho lost to Ricky Steamboat in a Fantasy Warfare battle! Thank you for supporting our sponsors!eBay Motors: get the right parts, the right fit, and the right prices. https://ebaymotors.comMetro By T-Mobile: Switch and get unlimited 5G starting at $25 a month per line for 4 lines, and a FREE 5G phone.Toyota: Visit https://toyota.com/GRFamily to find your perfect Toyota!Cynch: download the Cynch app or go https://www.cynch.com/ and get your first tank exchange for $10 with code JERICHO.Bosch Tools: learn more at https://www.boschtools.com/us/en/SlingTV: check out https://www.sling.com/ for special offers  STAY CONNECTED:TikTok: @TalkIsJerichoInstagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzy Twitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJerichoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzyWebsite: https://www.webisjericho.com/

Who was the Original Sheik? Some of us first time hearing of him may have been when the commentators told us that Sabu was paying homage to his uncle. Then perhaps we went to google to see what was the difference between him and former WWE Champion, The Iron Sheik. But did we know who he was? Brian R. Solomon took on the task of educating the world and wrote the book, Blood and Fire, The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling's Original Sheik. He discusses the book and the life of the legend that was as big as Bruno Sammartino.

We welcome back Ashraf Khalil (@ashrafkhalil) to take about a dubious wrestling anniversary, the 30th anniversary of Iraqi Sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter winning the WWF title during the Persian Gulf War. We talk about the whole history of the gimmick, friom Sarge's return to the WWF in the Summer of 1990, his initial heel gimmick, the pairing with General Adnan, his winning the WWF title, the Wrestlemania VII match with Hulk Hogan, the addition of Colonel Mustafa to the group, the split and face turn and blow-off. We discuss what was going in Middle East as all this was going on, as well as the WWF's war with Dave Meltzer over his coverage of the angle in the National. (Check out the recent Between the Sheets Patreon episode for more on this topic). This leads into a broader discussion of the depiction of Arab/Middle Eastern wrestlers, from the Terrible Turk in the late 1900s up until the present, including looking at the Iron Sheik, Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie, Scandar Akbar, the Great Mephisto, Muhammad Hassan, the Original Sheik, Sabu and many more. Who were Arab-Americans, who were from the Middle East, who used a fake accent and who didn't and other relevant questions. Shout out to Charting the Territories podcast for their recent look at the in=ring career of Scandar Akbar, which helped out conversation. There's also a lot of digressions in the show, including stuff about comics, Indiana University's “eight front doors,” pre-Internet journalism and more. Thanks for listening.
