BruiserBrody Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Ric Flair®Verified account@RicFlairNatrBoy Follow More I'm Sad To Wake Up And Hear of the passing of my very close friend the Russian Bear Ivan Koloff. You will be missed My Friend. Rest In Peace --- One of my favorite pieces in my collection is a 1972ish AWA program with "THE MAN WHO BEAT BRUNO!" featured as they set up a series of Verne vs Koloff matches. I was too young to see him in his prime. His run with the Powers of Pain is my earliest memory.
Ricky Jackson Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 An all time great, who will hopefully continue to be appreciated more with each passing year RIP
Matt D Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 I'm weirdly excited to get the two Koloff vs Mascaras Houston matches at some point.
Champagne Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 RIP Uncle Ivan. A great bumper and bleeder. While he'll primarily be remembered as the guy who ended Bruno's long WWWF title reign, I'm also a fan of his smart tag team work for Crockett during the 80s.
Ricky Jackson Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 Richard Land put together this super cool video of highlights of Ivan's final WWF run from 1983. Includes various TV squashes, promos, and a big angle he did with Pat Patterson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtV0H3JjFcc
