He is also one of the originators of what became the hardcore wrestling style, and the uncle of ECW legend Sabu. He was a staunch believer in kayfabe, even going so far as to hurl fireballs at fans that recognized him on the street in order to keep his persona in "civilian" situations. He also maintained kayfabe with own family, he went as far as to have his own grandchildren call him 'Grandpa Sheik'. Furthermore, Sheik's nephew Sabu stated when people would call Sheik's house and ask for "Edward" (Sheik's real first name), Sheik would say that nobody by that name lived in his house and would hang up the phone. Rob Van Dam stated in an audio interview that The Sheik taught him to "Protect the business and then protect your opponent".
