 Ivan Koloff has passed away at the age of 74, just one day after George "The Animal" Steele passed. Man, so many memories of Koloff, who was actually born in Canada. Great heel and the guy that ended Bruno Sammartino's first reign as WWWF champion. They actually had to send Koloff out of the ring before announcing him as the new champion or presenting him the belt for fear that a riot would break out, that's how much heat he had. But, behind the scenes one of the nicest guys ever and a great mentor to the young guys he worked with. I actually have an autographed picture from him on my den wall. Great guy. RIP and condolences to his family. |
