And in this corner… weighing 258 pounds, all the way from Tehran… the one, the only, the former heavy-weight champion of the world… the Iron Sheik! From the wrestling ring to Twitter, the former WWF champion—famous for his 1980s match-ups against the likes of Hulk Hogan and Sergeant Slaughter—has gained an incredible following of 277,000 thanks to his hilarious and frequent attacks against everyone from Hogan to Justin Bieber and Alex Rodriguez. And the 70-year-old may certainly be the world champion of f-bombs and insults across the board. Nothing is sacred on his Twitter feed…

Now Sheikie, as he calls himself, has found his way to Twitter’s video-sharing app Vine. The Iron Sheik’s first Vine video was posted April 6 as Wrestlemania 29 was getting started in New Jersey, and he’s already shared 30 videos with almost 1,400 followers.

There’s no doubt Sheikie is having a lot of fun with his Vine videos, as seen in these clips shot from his hotel room:

And the fun continued as the Iron Sheik arrived at Wrestlemania. He captured many of his friends and fans on Vine:

Later, Sheikie was back to sharing F-bombs with everyone he met:

All in all, it looks like Sheik had a great time at Wrestlemania, and we’re glad we got to share it with him, thanks to Vine. Hopefully he’ll keep us entertained in the future, just like he has with his Tweets… like this one sent at the close of Wrestlemania:
