The Iron Sheik was author Brad Balukjian\u2019s favorite wrestler as a kid growing up in the 80s, and directly inspired his new book, \u201cThe Six Pack: On The Road in Search of Wrestlemania.\u201d Brad took a road trip to find and meet 6 of the Sheik\u2019s wrestling contemporaries including Hulk Hogan, Tony Atlas, Sgt. Slaughter, Jose Luis Rivera, Tito Santana, and Demolition Ax aka Bill Eadie. Brad shares the stories he discovered and learned about each including The Sheik being told to break Hulk Hogan\u2019s leg, the original plane ride from hell with Jimmy Snuka, Tony Atlas\u2019 initiation into pro wrestling in the South, who sabotaged Jose Luis Rivera\u2019s promised push, and the real story behind Sgt. Slaughter\u2019s military service! Brad also dug into the early days of the WWF expansion under Vince and Linda McMahon, and found records of early payouts to talent, live show grosses, and original contracts. Plus, Brad talked to then-WWF CFO Bob McMullan and Jim Troy, Vince\u2019s right-hand man at the time, about what it was like working for Vince.\n\nPurchase \u201cThe Six Pack\u201d: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/brad-balukjian/the-six-pack/9780306831553/?lens=hachette-books\nFor more info on Brad & \u201cThe Six Pack\u201d: thebradpack.com \nFollow Brad Balukjian on X and Instagram: @bradpackbooks \n\nThanks to our sponsors!\nPretty Litter: Go to https://prettylitter.com/jericho & use code JERICHO to get 20% off your first order.\nFactor: Go to https://factormeals.com/TIJ50 & use code TIJ50 to get 50% off your first month, plus 20% off your next month.\nAmerican Home Shield: Go to https://AHS.com/JERICHO to save 20% off any plan.\nRosetta Stone \u2013 Go to https://RosettaStone.com/JERICHO to get 50% off unlimited access\n\nSTAY CONNECTED:\nTikTok: @ChrisJericho\nInstagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzy \nTwitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJericho\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzy \nWebsite: https://www.webisjericho.com/
