I'm glad to hear that an ancient ass pro wrestler was actually posting this stuff at some point. The joke was kinda ruined for me after I found out it wasn't him.
Yeah I feel that. I heard the same story and was kinda saddened, because the bit works when you believe it is some old dude just going off, it wouldn't work if it were just some randos. So I decided to look into it and even found an interview with the guys "helping him" (this was years ago, no idea where to look for it again) where they more or less admitted they got brought on after a while and slowly took over more and more as the Sheik aged more and more.
Wasn't his account run by some company? He was like 90 years old, there's no way he knew about any of this stuff.
It used to be him and then some people took over when he got senile is the story as far as I know
