Ivan was a little before me but loved Nikita.

Atleast some good came from this tragedy. After years of lurking, mr. Hugh Jassole decided to start posting.

Ivan was to be inducted into the WWE HOF this year too...sad.

It's amazing he was still alive.

79 is like 120 in wrestler years.

79 is like 120 in wrestler years.

To be fair those guys were before the steroid,cocaine and spot monkey era which allowed them to live normal. Most the wrestlers from before the 80s would pass as the local plumber.
