Ivan Koloff’s Legacy In Wrestling In His Own Words:

“I suppose probably that the enduring part no matter what territory I went in I ended up being successful. It is just that idea of the big win (against Bruno) I guess because that had to be the most thing that people associated me with right away. Now, that is probably first and probably second is my run I had with Nikita (Koloff). That was really entertaining to the people and they really enjoyed that I think”.

Barry Darsow on Being able to work with and learn from Ivan Koloff on a nightly basis:

“Ivan first of all is the greatest guy in the world when it comes to the wrestling business. Outside the business he truly is a great man. I thought that I really knew how to wrestle before I got to Crocket’s territory and when I hooked up with Ivan there were so many different things that I learned from Ivan that I never knew you could do and following him to me made me ten times better than what I was. Ivan was just incredible and is a true professional.”
