Saturday Morning Ringside: The Iron Sheik-----car salesman? (1985?)

 The late WWE Hall of Famer Iron Sheik was never a babyface in WWE. But, like fellow heel King Kong Bundy, advertisers saw value in the Sheik in doing commercials.

So, when Toyota introduced the Bundera LandCruiser in 1985, they eventually got in contact with Vince McMahon, who not only loaned out the Sheik, but announcer Gene Okerlund, who handles the voice over for this super short (15 second) spot.


How I never saw this ad until today, I don't know.
