The Man, The Myth, The Legend Vol. 4: Nikolai Volkoff

#7. Feud with Hulk Hogan

The Iron Sheik retired from a full-time wrestling schedule, and Volkoff was left without a partner for the third time in his career. It was decided that Volkoff would be elevated to the main event to feud with none other than Hulk Hogan himself.

Playing on the cold war fears, the match was a chance for the US to beat the USSR in effigy within the confines of a wrestling ring. Hogan would go on to say that Volkoff was one of the toughest men he ever faced in the ring.
