Even well past his prime, Sheik took a young Steamboat and turned this event and the crowd completely on its head. How the crowd parts like the red sea when Sheik merely walks amongst the people is crazy.

Ricky Steamboat was a former NWA U.S. World Heavyweight Champion, and NWA World Tag-Team Champions with Paul Jones, Jay Youngblood and Dustin Rhodes. He was already a Wrestling veteran when this match took place.
Cari amici giapponesi e della Tokyo Metropolitana Police io Luca Utili se fossi stato come questi 2 lottatori, il personale di Rai news mi avrebbe detto "Signore". Saluto da Milano e poi Forza e Coraggio.
Yes, definitely a mismatch of styles. But I think the Sheik must have respected the hell out of young Steamboat; I can't recall a single time the Sheik gave anyone that much offense during a match.

In my opinion, when the "bad guy" is "making the 'good guy' look good," and the crowd goes W-I-L-D, they're "getting their point across or both are doing their job" (so-to-speak).

The Sheik was wrestling about 25 years at this time. You can look him up as " The Sheik of Araby" from the 50's.

At the tail end of the 1970s, Jim Crockett encouraged and financially supported Steamboat and Tony Atlas while they participated in bodybuilding contests in the Mid-Atlantic region.

William Butler I think what The Sheik wanted to know was , why the referee didn't disqualified the match already because he was getting mauled by Ricky Steamboat and he had enough already from Steamboat's offense ! 😭😭😭

If you wrestled the Original Sheik, you were pretty much guaranteed to bleed along with him during the match. His opponents never had a choice in the matter.
That’s an unusually large amount of bleeding for the Sheik

I concur - I think he possibly hit an artery. And that goes to show how much of a professional The Sheik truly was . He really put Steamboat over in this match. This proved to be a good move . Rick showed that he could wrestle in any types of matches and the future proved that the he was going to be a superstar .
