I don't think any pinfall losses by him exist on video. Now I am sure in those US title switches with BoBo Brazil there were some pinfall losses. I would guess Mark Lewin probably has pinned him as well. I am thinking this is a short list ~ guys who have pinned The Original Sheik. |

65/02/11 T.O. Whipper Billy Watson W The Sheik 11:06 didn't lose too often up here untill at least the early-mid 80's , a few times on the smaller circuit 80-81 he would get pinned occasionally - and then to celebrate he would stick a pencil in everyones eye  Last edited on Mon Oct 29th, 2007 10:50 pm by carlton st |

Didn't Pampero Firpo beat the Sheik clean in a cage match in Toronto or some other candian city to "win" the US title in the early 70s? Last edited on Tue Oct 30th, 2007 03:07 am by thunderbolt |

Sheik was unbeaten in Toronto from 69-74 , Gary has them all listed at http://www.garywill.com/toronto/sheikstreak.htm "100-0-27. That's 127 singles matches without a loss" in 76-77 he would trade the belt with Firpo & Brazil , believe they were pins will have to check that many of his bouts were short affairs , he would spend 10 minutes coming to the ring and then do his prayer thing before attaking his opponent, sometimes before they hit the ring and it would all be over in 5 minutes or less |
