Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Edward George Farhat (June 9, 1924—January 18, 2003) was an American Army wrestler and soldier who turned Professional Wrestler, promoter and trainer after returning to civilian life. He resided in and first started achieving fame in Detroit, MI as The Sheik Of Araby. He started in the late 1940s and was a huge star from the 1950s through the 1970s. While best known for his work in Detroit, he was also a major name in Toronto, Japan and seemingly everywhere else he wrestled for decades, drawing money all over the place. Among his in-ring achievements, he was a 16-time NWA (Detroit) United States Heavyweight Champion, a 1x NWA United National Champion and a 2x NWA Americas (Los Angeles) Heavyweight Champion. In 1972, Pro Wrestling Illustrated named him "The Most Hated Wrestler," and he was also one of the most attacked wrestlers of all time, often suffering stabbings. Along with various National Wrestling Alliance territories, he competed for the WWWF, All Japan Pro Wrestling, FMW, the WWC in Puerto Rico and many independents. He was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 1996 and into the WWE Hall of Fame posthumously in 2007.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with The Sheik, The Iron Sheik or with Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie. | |

Only semi-Kayfabe: The Sheik's Detroit promotion had a serious feud with Dick the Bruiser's World Wrestling Association in Indianapolis. Bruiser was a close friend of NWA boss Sam Muchnick and had some ownership points in Muchnick's St. Louis Wrestling Club, and never really cared for Sheik. Muchnick actually stopped using DTB in St. Louis after 9/22/72 until 2/15/74. WWA invaded Detroit, which was an NWA member, while the WWA wasn't. Bruiser didn't like the Sheik's wrestling style. Muchnick brought Sheik into St. Louis twice and never used him again. A lot of guys felt that the Sheik shorted them on their payouts and didn't like how Sheik kept himself as the star attraction and would basically squash guys who were getting over. | |
