OK so Putski dd not come to WWF until 1974. Putski debuted in the
World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) in 1974.
[2] While in the WWWF, Putski feuded with many wrestlers, including
Bruiser Brody,
Stan Hansen and
Ivan Koloff.
[2] Iron Sheik was much later to exploit the Iran conflict. Taking the name
The Great Hossein Arab, he won his first title, the Canadian Tag Team Championship, with partner the Texas Outlaw. He wrestled in Japan against the likes of Steve Day and Antonio Inoki in 1978. In 1979 he caught the eye of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) where he made his debut in 1979 and won the first-ever
Battle Royal in
Madison Square Garden,
New York City. This earned him a title shot at then-champion
Bob Backlund, who pinned him later that night in a 30-minute battle.

Chief Jay Strongbow and
Bruno Sammartino before leaving in 1980.
