Another Dead Wrassler - Nikolai-Volkoff

I like - meaning hated - Ivan Koloff more.

I miss the old days of Wrestling. Everyone looks and talks the same way today. I like the 80s where the outfits and characters stood out. The Killer Bees, British Bulldogs, Hart Fondation, Demolition, Legion of Doom, The Rockers, Strike Force. All had their own colors, designs and get ups.

I loved The Sheepherders/Bushwhackers!

I'm not trying to turn this politically, but can you imagine the heat you'd get with some of the charictures of stereotypes they did in the 80s/90s? I think they're trying to do an Attitude Era type thing today where they allow them to be "them", but without the extremes/swearing/sex content. It's really uninteresting.

Brian Christopher aka Grandmaster Sexay also died yesterday after hanging himself in jail after a DUI.

Also, Brickhouse Brown from the old AWA died of cancer yesterday.

Sad day for wrasslin' fans.

Wrasslers die more frequently than the world's oldest person.

That's a solid 80s/90s style heel. I can't see Vince green lighting that in today's WWE.
