  Nikolai Volkoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikolai Volkoff (born Josip Peruzovic in October 1947) is a professional wrestler who is probably best known for his work for the World Wrestling Federation.
Volkoff chased the WWWF title for the majority of his early career and was always given a considerable amount of title shots from whoever was the current WWWF Champion.
On February 3, 2005, Volkoff was announced as one of the inductees for the Class of 2005 into the WWE Hall of Fame and was inducted on April 2, 2005 in the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, California.

Here on Inside Pulse's WWE Forum, posters and writers claim that Volkoff was never given the chance to be a main-eventer, that he was a borderline jobber, and that he may have only been nominated because he was a character on the "Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling" Saturday morning cartoon.

Managed by the treacherous "Classy" Freddie Blassie, Volkoff came over to these shores during the height of the Cold War and thumbed his nose at everything that is good and wholesome about the United States, while trying to convert the masses to the teachings of Lenin, Stalin and Marx.
So deep was Volkoff's antipathy toward the Stars and Stripes that he teamed with another enemy of liberty: The Iron Sheik, from Iran.
Without them, I daresay Volkoff and his allies just might have won, and our children would be pledging allegiance to the hammer and sickle every morning.
