NIKITA KOLOFF DISCUSSES VINCE MCMAHON'S BIZARRE REACTION TO HEARING HIS NAME AND HOW THE ONLY NIKITA FIGURE EVER MADE IS FROM A COMPANY HE NEVER WORKED FOR
By WorldWrestlingInsanity.com

Some dream in color.  Some dream in black and white.  But there's one man who made sure most of your nightmares in the 1980s were in Russian.  Now the one and only Russian Nightmare himself Nikita Koloff has joined ClubWWI.com to discuss it all in a 55 minute shoot interview.

Anyone unfamiliar with Nikita's unique career will definitely pick up a lot from this shoot including the fact that Koloff's 11 second debut TV victory took place…before he had ever been trained.  Nikita talks about that fact and how he got his spot in a way unlike most others.  He also talks to James Guttman about a number of other subjects including the legendary WWF tag team he was almost a part of, Bill "Little Nikita" Goldberg, Magnum T.A. and the Best of Seven Series, returning to TNA, why he didn't wrestle there, the worked story of his injury to Vader, how people react to hearing that he doesn't have an accent, Jesse Ventura, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, WCW Loyalty, and more.

One subject that Nikita Koloff discussed was the strange reaction that Vince McMahon had whenever his name had been brought up for something like DVD commentary or legends tie-ins.  Aside from Sting, Koloff is known as one of the few to never enter a WWE ring.  He talks about how the options existed, what they were, and how he could have made more money there, but chose not to.  So how did that affect McMahon's views of him?  The Russian Nightmare explained it in his 55 Minute www.ClubWWI.com discussion:

"It fascinates me because just recently, the one and only figure of Nikita Koloff has become available through the (WWE) Legends Classics or whatever they're called.  Through Jakks or whatever.  I know the guys asked me to come out to California and do the thing.  They told me then there had been three to four to five years that they approached Vince about doing a Nikita Koloff figure and every time he said, (abruptly) "No."  I mean just flat out.  No.  And then a couple of years ago, they were persistent and just continued to ask…then out of the blue, they said it was just bizarre.  He said, "OK.  That's fine."  And so they jumped on it as quick as they could.  They jumped on it, contacted me, signed the contract, and it took two years to get it to the market place.  So I've got a WWE Legends Wrestling Figure that's now available…which is humorous to me, because to my knowledge, and you would probably know way better than me, but to my knowledge, myself and Steve Borden are the only two guys who never worked for Vince McMahon."
