Life in the United States
After retiring from competitive wrestling, Abdullah Movahed eventually moved to the United States and settled in Fairfax, Virginia.
Even while living abroad, he remained deeply connected to Iran and Iranian wrestling.
One of the most widely discussed aspects of his post-retirement life was his refusal to train American wrestlers who might compete against Iranian athletes in international tournaments.
This decision reflected his loyalty to Iranian wrestling and his strong national pride.
Many members of the Iranian community in the United States respected him not only for his athletic achievements but also for his personal principles and character.
Although he lived a quieter life away from the spotlight, wrestling fans continued to honor him as a living legend.
Young Iranian wrestlers often studied his matches and viewed him as a role model for technical excellence and sportsmanship.
