I went to Pro Wrestling World in Allentown,PA. to meet 2 Time NWA World Six Man Tag Team Champion,Former NWA United States Tag Team Champion,4 Time NWA World Tag Team Champion and Former WWWF/WWF World Heavyweight Champion Ivan Koloff. Ivan arrived with Bud Carson. I was first in line and I talked with Ivan about his days in the NWA(Which I remember seeing him when I was growing up in the 1980's) as well as talking with him about his WWWF days. He wanted to know if he could sign "Best Wishes Champ." on my pictures since he saw my adult replica belts. I was quite honored that he did that.

I asked him how he was doing and he said that he was doing fine thanks to God. I asked him if he could sign his name on my WWF World Title Belt and put WWWF on it. He had a wide smile and he said"Sure, I'll even put 1971 on it too". Then he saw the signatures of "Superstar" Billy Graham and Bruno Sammartino on the belt.

 Again, He smiled and talked a little about both of them. When we had our picture taken, Ivan asked "How did my hair turn out?" That got a laugh out of me and the crowd. I thanked Ivan for coming and he thanked me for showing up. Ivan is a great wrestler and guy to meet. If you get a chance to meet him,Go For It!!
