About this listen

 The boots that crushed Hulk Hogan. The championship belt that made America hate him. The legendary gear that defined wrestling's most controversial villain has vanished into the shadows of sports entertainment history. This is the obsessive treasure hunt for the Iron Sheik's priceless wrestling artifacts – a quest that's taken collectors into dark corners of the wrestling underworld, shady memorabilia deals, and face-to-face confrontations with wrestling's most dangerous characters. From his iconic pointed boots that delivered the dreaded Camel Clutch to the custom-made robes that announced his royal Persian heritage, the Sheik's gear represents the holy grail of wrestling collectibles worth millions on the black market. We'll expose the underground network of collectors who trade wrestling history like drug dealers, the shocking theft that made the Sheik's gear disappear from a storage facility, and the international hunt that's led investigators across three continents. Featuring exclusive interviews with memorabilia hunters who've risked everything for a piece of wrestling history, former WWE officials who reveal what really happened to the company's vintage collection, and the Iron Sheik himself breaking his silence about his missing legacy. This episode reveals how wrestling's most valuable artifacts have become the target of organized crime, wealthy obsessives, and fans who'll do anything to own a piece of immortality. Sometimes the most dangerous matches happen outside the ring.
