RIP "Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff

[MichaelWinicki]

In his early years he was one of the strongest guys in the sport.

I always found it interesting that he was chosen to end Bruno first world title reign after 7 1/2 years.

Koloff only carried the belt a short time (which was the plan) and he flipped the belt to Pedro Morales.

Wow, turns out some of the guys I used to hate the most were actually real nice guys in real life. RIP.

Winicki's like the wrestling Grim Reaper.
