If I've told this tale before, forgive me. It always makes me laugh. ;D (copied from a WWF site)
Complete story coming...
Ok. By popular request, here we go...
It's June 1990 and I'm working for Joe Weider (Bodybuilding mags, supplements, etc.) at his Muscle & Fitness Bodybuilding camp. The camp was held at LMU/Loyola Marymount Univ. in Los Angeles. The camp had a weekly bodybuilding star show up and this week the star was 7-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney. Well nobody wanted to go to the airport (about 3 minutes away) and grab Haney so I did it. Haney asked to stop at the store before we went back to the campus; well, as we're walking across the parking lot at Safeway, some guy yells out "Haney my friend! You're nothing! I'm the true champion and your just a little pipsqueak!" The person yelling at us was.... The Iron Sheik. Turns out that he and Lee Haney were old friends from Atlanta.
The Sheik had already been drinking and he invited us to the Red Onion (swingers only) in Marina Del Rey and since it was only around 8 pm we decided to go. I drank bud and scotch, Haney had Miller Lite and the Sheik drank Vodka. It was actually a toss up as to which one was more famous. In bodybuilding crazy LA, Haney is well known but the Iron SheiK ain't no Johnny-come-lately, so he had his fans as well. Things got slow at the Onion so we headed over to the Baja Cantina and around midnight the Sheik was putting me & Haney in a double headlock and the chops were flying. I was drunk, the Sheik was real drunk and Mr. Olympia was having a good time.
Haney had left Atlanta earlier in the day so midnight was getting pretty late for him, so I do believe we left the Iron Sheik with a couple of girls and that's about it. I may lose my money and my friends, but I'll always have the memories, of The Iron Sheik and the double headlock.

I used to go to the Baja Cantina... it was one of Ken Waller's favorite night spots. He was a regular there.

You should start a story of the day/week threads. You seem to have a lot of cool experiences.

I have been thrown out of Baja many a times whilst in college.
