Seriously. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Sheik -- who says he competed for Iran in the 1968 Olympics and then became an asst. coach for Team USA in the '70s -- tells TMZ (in his trademark broken English) he's looking to take matters into his own hands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0212_wrestler_sub_1968\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/02/12/0212-wrestler-sub-1969.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\"After 1000 years they take away the best sport in the world? This is the first time the dumb motherf**kers have no balls for they make the walking an Olympic sport.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He adds, \"If I see anybody on the street that work from the IOC I swear to the Jesus I suplex them put them in camel clutch break their back make them humble.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\"The #TEAMSHEIKIE respect the Olympic now they can all go f**k themselves and make the Curling Olympic sport because they all the biggest piece of no good s**t and I never watch the Olympic again. Also buy my t shirt [on my website] or go f**k yourself.&amp;#8221;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a little confusing ... but we think we get the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;a class=\"lightbox-link\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2010/12/08/3229-wrasslin-rules/\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0517_wrasslin_rules_footer\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/05/17/0517-wrasslin-rules-footer-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
