Wrestling legend Nikolai Volkoff was the featured guest on the latest Filsinger Games podcast and the Russian superstar had a lot to say about the glory days of wrestling!
Volkoff came to America in 1968 and trained with legendary Stu Hart. He talks about his early career as Bepo Mongol as part of the tag team the Mongols managed by Lou Albano. He also tells stories about working with Fred Blassie, Bruno Sammartino, and his famous tag partner, the Iron Sheik.
?The Iron Sheik was a good friend.? explained Vokoff, ?But we were like the odd couple.?
