"The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff (born Oreal Perras on August 25, 1942, Crysler, Ontario, Canada) is a former Canadian professional wrestler who once held the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship.

Ivan Koloff Video

From the July 26, 1980 edition of Georgia Championship Wrestling. A historic angle if there ever was one. Ole Anderson explains his heel turn on Dusty Rhodes in the 7/20 Omni show. Parts of this are up on YouTube already but this is almost the entire segment from the following week's TV. A gloating Ole starts by showing an old interview with the American Dream where Dusty vows it will never be over. Then Anderson narrates the clip of the turn from the Omni where Ole, Gene, Ivan Koloff and the Assassins destroy Dusty in a cage. Then Ivan Koloff chimes in congratulating Ole. Then more comments from Ole and Dusty. Great great great stuff. Lots has been said about Ole Anderson as a booker, a business man, a wrestler, a person, etc. But one thing that cannot be denied is that Ole is one of the best heels ever.

Nikita has formed a company called UWA (Universal Wrestling Alliance). He grabbed a bunch of guys he wrestled with back in the 80s (Ivan Koloff, Sting, Animal, Hawk (RIP), AJ Styles, Dr. Death Steve Williams, Koko B. Ware, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase, Terry Taylor and George South) and they travel the world wrestling and then preaching to people. Nikita and Dibiase are the speakers at each stop. This is a clip from a stop somewhere in the US before Hawk passed away.

There is a small club of former WWWF world champions. Only a handful of pro wrestlers can stake claim to holding one of the most prestigious titles in all of wrestling. RF Video is honored to sit down with our second former WWWF world champion. RF Video is proud to present a new shoot interview with the "Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff. Ivan Koloff is one of the most successful pro wrestlers of his generation. Spanning three decades, Ivan made his mark all over the world as one of the most successful heels. Ivan is one of only a few men who have headlined in main-events in the AWA, WWWF, and the NWA. The road to the top wasn't always full of roses and Ivan talks all about it to RF Video. Ivan's love for wrestling began as a teenager. Ivan takes us back to the day he met Jack Wentworth and his early days as Red McNulty. Ivan's rivalry with Bruno Sammartino dates back years before their infamous Madison Square Garden title change. Ivan talks about his first match with Bruno and how his inexperience rattled the legend. Koloff also gives a revealing story about Bruno the man when Ivan showed up late for his big break with the WWWF. Ivan goes into great detail about he morphed from Red McNulty to Ivan Koloff. What kind of lengths did Ivan go through to maintain his gimmick? How did he handle his Russian fans when Ivan didn?t know a lick of Russian? Ivan tells some great stories about the kind of heat he received in the early territories and how hot things got with the rabid fans. It <b>...</b>
