'Iranian Hulk' eyeing WWE

Sajad Gharibi, the 350-pound weightlifter who has been dubbed the "Iranian Hulk" and "Persian Hercules," has his sights set on becoming the next WWE superstar.

In an Instagram post, Gharibi thanked his fans and the media for their support and said he's hoping to find a sponsor.

I am an Iranian citizen with traditional values of Persian upbringing surrounded with a close-knit family and also many great friends from all around the world who have supported me every step of the way in these difficult times.

As a sportsman throughout my career all the cost and expenses and fees have been covered and paid from my own budget without to received any support or help from Iranian authorities or sport organisations and unfortunately there are plenty of others talented young people in Iran who suffers exactly in similar way to my situation despite I'm trying my best to find a sponsor.

My intuition is sharp and always I'll find a way to build my relations with righteous people more productive than to battling with egos and narrow minded people and in particular those troll keyboard warrior on social media who have nothing to say except to berated others only for their own purpose and to satisfied amusement!
