California Über Alles: The Lives & Career Of DARK Sheik

Harley and Em are joined by returning guest Brian Bell to present the seventh installment in G&G series "Living Legends."  With this series, we strive to present a definitive look at the lives and careers of some of your favorite active independent wrestlers.  Where did they come from?  How did they get to where they are today?  And why are they so beloved?

This time: it’s DARK Sheik!  From starting training at age 14 to playing heel Sheik Khan Abadi in a post-9/11 world, founding Hoodslam, dying and being reborn, being replaced by an evil robot, training wrestlers like Shotzi and Mansoor, transitioning in front of the world, teaming with The Caution and Thrussy, founding the Church of Wrestling, and palling around with Lita, this is the story of the master mold, the mother brain, the DARK Sheik.
