#4 Nikita Koloff

Scott Simpson got in the wrestling business much like many others by being discovered in Minnesota. He shaved his head, changed his look and speech and became the “Russian Nightmare” in the NWA and WCW. Koloff, who was “brought” to America by his “uncle” Ivan Koloff, became the lead foreign heel in the promotion until Magnum TA almost lost his life in a car accident.

Koloff, known for his power, his raspy voice and his run as Dusty Rhodes’ tag team partner, liked his “look” so much in the business, he changed his name legally. He now uses his celebrity status to preach the gospel and is an inspirational speaker.
