Summary

The Iron Sheik is breaking backs on TIJ! Okay, so he's not really... but he is speaking candidly if not seriously about his pro-wrestling career and time in WWE. He talks about dropping the belt to Hulk Hogan at MSG, getting busted by the cops with Hacksaw Jim Duggan during the kayfabe days & how that nearly destroyed both their careers, visiting the infamous Hart dungeon in Calgary, and being offered a large sum of money by promoter Verne Gagne to break Hulk Hogan's leg. Plus, Y2J tells his own stories from the KISS Kruise! It's a little slice of heaven for all you die-hard KISS fans!
