The Iron Sheik wins the WWF Championship
25 Years Ago, Today!
The Iron Sheik defeats Bob Backlund for the WWF World Championship at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, ending Backlund’s nearly six-year run at the top and in many ways, ending an era in the WWF.
The next month, Hulk Hogan would win the WWF Championship and usher in the new era of Rock ‘n Wrestling.
