Greg DeMarco sent this in.
411Mania & The VOC Nation’s Greg DeMarco Show welcomed international superstar The Almighty Sheik to this past week’s program. The Sheik, known worldwide for his controversial gimmick and newsworthy NWA World Heavyweight Championship reign, didn’t hold back in this rare and exclusive interview.
The Sheik discussed his NWA World Championship—how the reign came about, why he was stripped of the title, his interactions with the National Wrestling Alliance, and how he feels about it today. The Sheik covers nearly every aspect of his reign in this exclusive interview. The Sheik also went into detail about his controversial gimmick—why he chose that gimmick, the blessings he received before performing, and the reactions he gets worldwide. The Sheik also responds to the common criticisms that his gimmick plays on negative stereotypes, is inappropriate and insensitive in 2011, and that he stole the gimmick. Much more is included in this 45-minute interview with The AlmightsSheik, including his role with Zero-1 Wrestling (both in Japan and the USA), his partnership with former WWE Superstar MVP, and his upcoming venture preserving the legacy of Bruiser Brody.
