Nikita Koloff On Turning Down NWA Worlds Title Run After Wife’s Passing

Nikita Koloff appeared on an episode of “Busted Open Radio” recently and went over the time he declined an NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title reign in the 1980s following his partner’s death.

Koloff took a hiatus from wrestling when his other half Mandy was detected with Hodgkin’s illness, which she died from in 1988.

You can have a look at some highlights from the podcast listed below:

On taking a hiatus beginning in 1986 to look after Mandy: “I do not understand that they were really keen on that choice while at the very same time it what I felt was the best thing to do. And she ultimately died at the age of 26.”

On being welcomed to Ric Flair’s home in 1988 and being used a World Title reign: “I put some specifications on it that I understood they most likely would not accept therefore once again, I’m type of in an uncommon air in regards to the number of men legally refused the world heavyweight title. Would it have been enjoyable to have that world title? Yeah, it would’ve been, however no remorses. I live life without any remorses concerning that.”
