The reported age differs by source. WWE’s June 7, 2023 tribute said Vaziri died at age 81. A Washington Post obituary published that day said he was 80, citing biographer Keith Elliot Greenberg. The accounts conflict, and the available reporting does not resolve the discrepancy. WWE’s tribute and profile and the Washington Post obituary are the respective sources.
