Loved the tag team with him and Iron Sheik. One of the best heels of the 80s.

Saw them in the mid eighties with Slick as their manager. Tag team match against Rick Martel and Tito Santana? Slick took a mock swing at us with his cane at ringside as we mocked Volkoff's rendition of the Russian Anthem. Good stuff. :lol:

RIP, Nikolai.

Probably was Strike Force v Volkoff/Sheik; was that at the Rosemont Horizon?
Mid to late eighties had the best tag teams in terms of depth and talent throughout every company/territory.

Peoria Civic Center - afternoon matinee. It was like they were "passing through" on the way to Rosemont.

I can't get over the blatant xenophobia in that crowd.
