Just noticed this tonight flipping through channels. I knew about the show, but didn't know that Nikita and his family were regulars on it. I always heard that he was super kayfabe and refused to come out of the Koloff character, even away from the ring. But, it's kind of weird that having been retired for 21 years, he would still use the name on this show rather than his given name of Nelson Simpson. Anyway, here's a link to check out if you want. |

It took him a long time before he stopped using the accent. I guess when you're in that deep it's hard to come back to Earth.
I figure he used that name on the show for the sake of drawing in some wrestling fans.

Maybe. I stopped on it... You'd think his teenage daughters, especially at dating age, would think it was cheesy. Maybe they meet a boy every now and then whose dad was a fan and the kid is like "My dad loved your dad in the NWA...can I get an autograph for him?"

That would be hilarious. Plus you would know not to mess around on his daughters. Even if he is a preacher, I'm sure he wouldn't be adverse to smacking around guys treating them poorly.

I bet he'd lay down the smite.
