The Shiek wreaks havoc throughout the sleaziest locales of the American wrestling circuit, maiming, mauling, and living up to his life's code: I like to hurt people! Neither documentary nor narrative, but really a mishmash of a threadbare plotline of a fictional Stop the Shek movment, some vintage wrestling footage from Detroit's Big Time Wrestling, and some interviews with experts, and skits featuring the likes of Andre the Giant, Dusty Rhodes, Bobo Brazli and the Funk Brothers. Throw in a series of musical montages that would make even Rocky IV jealous, and you've got a great piece of obscure eighties nostalgia. Structural problems aside, this is probably the best piece of Wrestlesploitation ever made. The stunning 16mm footage is worth the price of admission alone since there isn't much surviving footage from this era. Not only that, but it is directed by the great Donald G. Jackson who is perhaps best known for directing the Hell Comes to Frogtown movies with Rowdy Roddy Piper.
