The Iron Sheik Wants You To Fund His Documentary Film

Posted: Jun 21st 2013 By: CMBurnham

Hossein Kosrow Vaziri, a wrestler who gained fame in the 1980s and continues to pick fights on Twitter, is the focus of a crowdfunding campaign to raise $100,000 to pay for production of a documentary called Iranian Legend: The Iron Sheik Story.

The film will be produced by Toronto brothers Jian Magen and Page Magen, the sons of a former Iranian table tennis champion who are presumably behind the frequently profane Twitter feed of @the_ironsheik ? on which messages are being offered as a perk in exchange for contributions.

Not all of the money is going to the production, though. The pitch discloses that ?a portion of the funds will also go towards his much needed ankle and double knee surgery.?
