Nikita Koloff on Why he never joined WWE?
Legendary WCW/NWA/AWA competitor "The Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff discusses why he never competed in WWE when the majority of his wrestler friends from Minnesota, some of whom were less talented than him did go there and do very well. There was also a lot of talk of a dream match between Nikita and Hulk Hogan and some points due to Hogan doing will vs Monster heels.

I always wondered why he didn't go to the WWE. Hulk Hogan vs. Nikita Koloff could have been a huge money making match.

@@Hi-kq1vi I always liked the tag team The Foreign Legion. The Iron Sheik and Nicolai Volcoff made a great heel team. They never got a great push though as a team. Maybe they were a little too old by this time and there were too many younger tag teams coming in to the WWF at that time.

He was already a natural fit for the WWF with a monster Russian heel. There's a difference between Nikolai Volkoff, who was on the downside of his career by the mid-80s, and a young Nikita Koloff who on the gas was pretty much as big as Hogan. Are you kidding? They would've printed money. Only thing that would've made it better is if Koloff had gotten the Rocky IV gig as Drago.

He had a legendary cage match with Ric Flair and he was jobbing to Greg Valentine and then everybody in the WWF but who cares, he made a ton of money, apparently.
