Iron Sheik THREATENS Olympic Committee -- 'I Swear to the Jesus I Suplex Them' | TMZ.com
The Iron Sheik isn't just a WWE legend ... he's also a veteran Olympic wrestler ... and he's so pizzed that his sport is getting booted from the Games ... he's now threatening violence.
As we previously reported, the International Olympic Committee has moved to drop wrestling from the 2020 games ... in favor of other sports like field hockey. Seriously.
Now, Sheik -- who competed for Iran in the 1968 Olympics and then became an asst. coach for Team USA in the '70s -- tells TMZ (in his trademark broken English) he's looking to take matters into his own hands.
