10 wrestlers with fake hometowns

#5 Nikita and Ivan Koloff - Moscow, Russia, originally from Canada

The Cold War was a gold mine for heel gimmicks. During the 1980s, you had Krusher Krushnev, Nikolai Volkoff, Boris Zhukov, and of course Ivan and Nikita Koloff.

Of all these men, only Nikolai was actually from Russia, while the rest were North Americans who pretended to be Russian to gain heel heat.

The most successful and famous of these faux-Russians were the Koloffs -- Ivan and Nikita. While both men had convincing Russian accents, they both hailed from the great white north of Canada.

Both men are still alive, and there is a petition to get Ivan into WWE's Hall of Fame.
