If looking at the scoreboard and the stat sheet wasn’t enough for the Jets in their Thursday Night Football debacle in Indianapolis…they also got clowned by one of Twitter’s most famed roasters: professional wrestling legend The Iron Sheik.
Yes, that’s right: Sheiky Baby, known for his tweets that are always in all caps and almost always acerbic, must’ve had FOX on wherever he was working the Persian Clubs on Thursday night, because he unleashed some gems that not only dumped on the Jets, but also his biggest in-ring rival:
Of course, the comments are just as great, with one user asking if Sheik had seen the Lions play, and another posting that the Jets were in “B. Brian Blair territory” – and if you don’t know what that means, well, Blair is another former WWE star, and you can google “Iron Sheik Brian Blair humble” and take your chances on how NSFW the results are.
To be fair, the WWE Hall of Famer definitely has a justified vendetta against Hogan, and probably New York too: it was way back on Jan. 23, 1984, inside the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden, where Hulkamania was born when Sheik’s one-month WWE Championship reign came to an end via Hogan's famous legdrop.
And to be even fairer, watching that match, which clocked in at roughly six minutes, 30 to 40 times on loop instead of the game might have been a safer option for the 79-year-old’s heart.
At least he didn't drop one of his usual and copious f-bombs. Sheiky Number One, New York Jets hock-ptooey!
