Iron Sheik's daughter murdered

By Alex Marvez

According to a report in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Marissa Jeanne
Vaziri, the 27-year-old daughter of the Iron Sheik (Hossein Khorsow Vaziri) was
found strangled in the apartment she shared with her live-in boyfriend, who was
arrested Monday and charged with the murder. The AJC reported that Charles
Warren Reynolds, 38, confessed to the crime and told police that he and Marissa
Vaziri were drinking and taking pills. Marissa Vaziri didn't work in the
wrestling business. Hossein Vaziri, who was listed as 60 by the AJC, has
wrestled for more than two decades and is most famous for his 29-day reign as
WWE champion that began with a victory over Bob Backlund and ended with a loss
to Hulk Hogan that ushered in the "Hulkamania" era.

She didn't work in the wrestling business, but still has a
first-degree connection...

First Miss Elizabeth, then the Iron Sheik's daughter...I'll bet The
Fabulous Moolah is being very careful these days.

Upon receiving news that Kathi had made the remarks below, and after
consultations with my Joint Chiefs of Staff, being briefed by members of my
Cabinet and telephone conversations with various world leaders, I have come
to the following conclusions:

Nah, Moolah isn't ready to take a dirt nap yet. I look for Mae Young to be
the next Geritol generation gal to pay a visit to the sod. As Jerry "The
King" Lawler so eloquently said regarding Mae Young once; "I don't really
know just how old Mae Young is, but I do know her first job was waiting
tables at the Last Supper."

Archive searching I find a list posted to the NG in 1999
of country musicians over 80...not sure how many of those
on it are still alive (K.F. Raizor posted it).
Are there many,if any,pro "wrestlers" over 80?

I don't know if there is such a list online, Louis. However, I did find a
very nice site that lists all the deceased wrestlers, and it is very
detailed while remaining concise and current, so if a particular isn't
listed among the dead, it's almost a certainty they are still around. Scroll
down to the bottom for the master list.

Mae will outlive most of us, I hope. Lawler also said Moolah wrote a
book a while back called The Old Testament. Before Mae, I think some
of the former WWE guys who aren't working any more (Lex Luger, Alex
Wright, Kevin Sullivan) or are in Jeff Jarrett's promotion will OD or
suicide when they run out of money and see no opportunities on the
horizon.

Lawler also said once that when God exclaimed; "Let there be light", that
Mae Young was the one who threw the switch. I'm waiting to hear any day now
that Jake "The Snake" Roberts has bit the dust. He was well on his way when
he was featured in that behind the scenes movie a couple years ago.

Jake's cousin, Sam Houston, has also been described as looking bad
recently. Very thin and haggard, and bumming cigarettes off people he
saw at a wrestling show.

...no, Verne's daughter and Greg's sister -- once (if not now) married
to Larry Zbyszko, as I recall...

Upon receiving news that Jim had made the remarks below, and after
consultations with my Joint Chiefs of Staff, being briefed by members of my
Cabinet and telephone conversations with various world leaders, I have come
to the following conclusions:

Here in Louisville, we have the WWE's "farm club", you could say, where the
up and coming wrestlers, as well as those on the mend, are keeping up on
their skills, it's called OVW Wrestling. They are having a "house show"
tomorrow night at the high school gym, right down the street from me. At the
school this afternoon, Bradshaw and Farouk (APA) are going to be there,
getting the fans and sign some autographs. My wife is going to pick up our
son up from school a little early and take him over there to meet them, and
then tomorrow night, we are all going over there and catch the matches. The
APA will perform, and Mark Henry also. Jackie (from Tough Enough II) is a
"valet", and there will probably have some surprise guest pop in from the
big leagues. So I guess Sunday, I will have to face the wrath of my son who
will want to reenact the moves the wrestlers performed from the night
before. I think I'll take a nap.
