At the risk of geeking out too much, the Iron Sheik has far surpassed the national fame (even mainstream fame) of the original Sheik. In fact, Ed Farhat is usually referred to as the "Original Sheik", to distinguish from the more famous Sheik. So I think "The Sheik" is an acceptable short form for The Iron Sheik.
