After Years of Feuding, Hulk Hogan Is Targeted With Negative Remarks on His Birthday by Fallen 81-Year-Old WWE Legend’s Social Media

There’s no shortage of wrestlers who share a lukewarm bond with the Hulkster, but nothing matches the relationship his 81-year-old fallen old nemesis brought to the table. If you list the most pivotal feuds in WWE’s history, the remarkable Hulk Hogan vs The Iron Sheik must be in contention to come at the top.

However, with Sheik’s passing on June 7, 2023, he left all the bittersweet memories of WWE behind. In the same vein, his boiling chemistry with Hogan almost faded out until someone re-instigated it again on behalf of the late legend on Hogan’s 70th birthday.

Hulk Hogan received dirt on his birthday from the late Iron Sheik’s verified Twitter handle

The iconic WWE heel breathed his last at the age of 81, leaving the entire wrestling world in a deep sea of melancholy. Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri aka The Iron Sheik will always be an asset to treasure for every wrestling fanatic. The late legend garnered heat from the crowd for his anti-American gimmick immediately after his arrival in the business. Eventually, his flawless character execution and incredible in-ring antics earned him the honor of one of the greatest heels of all time by the 1980s.

However, despite hanging up his boots from active wrestling as early as 2000, the departed Hall of Famer continued to stay in the headlines for his frequent media appearance. From being hyperactive on social media to turning up on several talk shows, Sheik didn’t fail to feed fans’ imaginations.

Last year via Twitter, he launched an insult to the Hulkster that went like ‘F*** the Hulk Hogan.’ The term became so popular that people even paid tribute to him with this phrase after his death. Now, from his verified Twitter account, someone posted the same line to bash the late wrestler’s arch-rival on his birthday.

Sheik proved himself a heel even after his demise. Despite retiring from the ring and not feuding with Hogan again inside the squared circle, Sheik maintained his kayfabe hatred of Hogan through his social media posts.

But where his immortal rivalry with the Immortal One has its roots?

The origin of the historic Hulk Hogan vs Iron Sheik rivalry

The Hulkster owed his career to Iron Sheik to some extent. Hogan defeated Sheik for the WWE title at Madison Square Garden in 1984 and initiated his journey to reach the helm of the business. Although the two didn’t have notable rivalry inside the ring after that, Sheik continued to take shots at Hogan, often humorously to show his disdain for The Hulkster.

It was a case of Sheik staying true to his pro wrestling character even decades after their in-ring rivalry. And now it seems even after he has gone from this world, someone running Sheik’s account wants to keep this one-sided banter going.
