Veteran wrestler, Ivan Koloff dies at 74

Veteran wrestler, Ivan Koloff otherwise called The Russian Bear who wrestled to fame for years as a supreme villain, has died. 74-year-old Koloff was a former WWF World Heavyweight champion who had been battling liver cancer.

In his career, he fought the likes of Bruno Sammartino, Superstar Billy Graham and Bob Backlund. He was especially big in the 80's as Ronald Reagan challenged Russia on the world stage.

  2. I knew him very well, though I was very little then but my dad was a wrestling fanatic so we knew virtually all the names of the wrestlers. The free birds, Terry Goody, new maskera, The von erich brothers, wild samoas, mighty Ighor, micheal haise, super fly, etc. Don't know if the spelling of thier names is correct but that's what I can remember.
