WWE Hall of Famer The Iron Sheik (a/k/a Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri) is featured in a Kevin Iole piece at Yahoo.com that chronicles his life and his health struggles at age 73 following his pro wrestling career. "I love wrestling and I would do it all again," Sheik said. "But it is a very, very hard business. There is nothing about it that is easy."

Powell's POV: It's a warts and all look at Sheik, as his substance abuse issues are mentioned, as well as the murder of his 27 year-old daughter Marissa. It's a sad read, yet a very good and highly recommended piece. Thanks to all of the readers who sent links to the story today.
