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

#8. The Bolsheviks

If one is good, two must be better--or at least that's what the WWE thought when they decided to clone Volkoff's character for American wrestler James "Boris Zhukov" Harrell.

The duo were largely used as Gatekeeper talent, meaning they defeated enhancement wrestlers but usually lost to bigger name teams. Their most 'famous' moment occurred when they were defeated by the Hart Foundation in under twenty seconds at Wrestlemania 4.

But the cold war was winding down, and the US and USSR's relations thawed. It was time for yet another change for Volkoff.
