Birth date?

Is there a cite as to his birth date? I've heard it as June 7th, not June 11th, but have no cite other than reading it in an article years ago so I won't change it at this point. 12.75.52.101 04:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got this birthday off of some website's calender where they had birthdays of wrestlers on it. If you can find a better source, I'm more than open. Most places only have his birth year on it so I went with whatever I could find.--Darren Jowalsen 22:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sabu

Are they really related (as this article implies), or is that just kayfabe? JPG-GR 00:56, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dave Meltzer always refers to them as uncle and nephew and Ed had many brothers and sisters, so I would say that they are indeed uncle and nephew.--Darren Jowalsen 02:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There does seem to be a bit of a family resemblance between them and Farhat was notoriously known for staying in character and anything to do with his character, even while out and about away from wrestling. If they weren't related, it would've come out long ago because there are no secrets left in professional wrestling anymore.Odin's Beard 23:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Under a Bus?

"He was set to face NWA World Heavyweight Champion Lou Thesz in Chicago for his title but Thesz had a reputation for exposing and embarrassing "gimmick" wrestlers so Farhat bailed from the ring and hid under a bus."

Is this spam? If this is how the event was really played out the article seems to be "playing along" just a bit too much. 69.3.87.160 01:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Farhat was worried that Thesz was going to legimately hurt him or completely kill his gimmick (as he had done to other people) so he decided at the last second to abort the match and to make a run for it. Sheik did it to keep his mystique, Thesz ended up looking good anyway so he didn't get too worked up about it. Dave Meltzer writes about the incident in Tributes II.--Darren Jowalsen 05:30, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Step Son Being Murdered

^{Superscript text}

Why is there nothing about his step son being murdered? Isn't that news worthy? Or is his personal life not news worthy. Or maybe nobody knows, considering my aunt was in his step sons will and got a lot of money.. But anyway, yeah, I was just wondering if anybody knew anything about his step son getting murdered. I think his name was Paul.
