Adnan Was An Amazing Talent & A Gifted Athlete. With Him Mentoring Me & Giving ME The Knowledge of Iraqi & Saddam’s Ways, I Took The Iraqi Sympathizer Character Way Beyond What WWE Ever Imagined When They Asked Me To Play That Role???????? pic.twitter.com/HpbNEnd1Fz

Godspeed, Adnan al-Kaissey.
As a kid watching AWA TV, I hated you. But I’ll never forget the lessons you taught me as a young wrestler facing whatever Sheik” you managed against me in those Minnesota and Wisconsin towns.
Rest well, sir. My gratitude forever.
