Wrestling legend The Iron Sheik spoke to TMZ reportedly just hours or days before the death of new WWE Hall of Famer The Ultimate Warrior, and in the interview he had said that he wanted to put The Warrior --who passed away soon after the interview --in the Camel Clutch while also discussing a "conspiracy" at WrestleMania between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker.

When a reporter asked The Iron Sheik, who has been highly critical of Hulk Hogan and The Warrior in the past, who is the one person in Hollywood that he'd want to put in his famous Camel Clutch submission finisher, The Sheik picked the former WWE Champion Ultimate Warrior after thinking about it.
"It'd probably be Ultimate Warrior," he said. "He's probably a little higher than Justin Bieber, right."

The Iron Sheik also had some thoughts on the finish to The Undertaker vs. Lesnar match at WrestleMania XXX Sunday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Lesnar defeated The Undertaker, handing him his first ever WrestleMania loss as the 21-0 streak fell in New Orleans, but The Sheik believed that the ending wasn't supposed to go down like that and that The Undertaker's concussion changed the finish.
'Taker was reportedly sent to the hospital after the match due to his injury.
"Nobody beat him in 21 years in the WrestleMania...I don't believe it, a lot of people [don't] believe it because Undertaker is still No.1 to me and a lot of fans in the world.," he told TMZ.
Sheik seemed to think it was a conspiracy.
"I believe this Undertaker match and brain damage...everything changed and this is one of [those times]."
Sheik was referring to the concussion and saying that the WWE likely had to change everything on the fly.
The reports coming out of WrestleMania were that The Undertaker handpicked Lesnar to win the match back in 2010 and that four-to-six people behind the scenes in WWE were the ones who knew that 'Taker was set to lose in New Orleans.
Still, ever a skeptic, The Iron Sheik believes that something fishy went down between Lesnar and The Undertaker in New Orleans.
