Nikolai Volkoff - Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast

Nikolai Volkoff


Nikolai was a perrenial bad guy, whether he hailed from Mongolia, Russia, or anywhere else a "bad guy" in the 70s and 80s would hail from. As one of the Mongols he captured the WWWF International Tag Titles as Beepo with his partner Geeto, and almost a decade later would return as Nikolai and team with the Iron Shiek to capture the WWF World tag titles. A man known for his brute strength and aggressive in-ring style, Nikolai would find himself as a pro-American from Coratia after a baby face turn that saw him teaming with Hacksaw Jim Duggan. In his later years, he would be the sympathetic member of the Million Dollar Corporation before going into semi-retirement. Nikolai was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, Class of 2005. Nikolai appeared on Episode 364: Rockin With Ronnie Burton, PCO, and Volkoff.
