The jokes didn't stop there, either, with many wrestling fans getting their own posts in. Some were attempting to recreate the Sheik account's distinct tone of voice, while others were simply amused that the account is still active.

"The Iron Sheik hated Hulk Hogan so much that he tweeted from beyond the grave," said Mike Beauvais. "A generational hatred that transcends death."

"The ghost of The Iron Sheik is already in the running for the biggest hater of 2025 award," said X user @MichaelSFNR1.

One user joked that Hogan would likely blame the crowd reaction on The Iron Sheik's ghost, while at the same time stating that Paul "Triple H" Levesque should book Hogan in a match against his rival's spirit at WWE WrestleMania 41 in April. Additionally, many fans are circulating old posts by The Iron Sheik account that feature vitriol towards Hogan.

Even prior to the death of The Iron Sheik, it was not confirmed that the WWE Hall of Famer was in charge of his own social media accounts, making it unlikely that he was behind the posts aimed at Hogan. However, it is fair to say that they were a solid representation of how the man felt, as The Iron Sheik was often outspoken as one of the many wrestlers who disliked Hogan.

Despite Sheik's distaste, he played a monumental part in Hogan's career. In 1984, it was The Iron Sheik who dropped the WWF Championship to Hogan, kicking off Hulk-A-Mania. The Iron Sheik maintained that AWA promoter Verne Gagne offered to pay him money to break Hogan's leg in the match as retaliation for Hogan walking out on the promotion. However, the match went according to plan, and the rest is history.
