And Chavo Guerrero Sr. on the 11th. It’s been a bad week for retired wrestlers.

I remember Ivan spending a lot of time in the old Mid Atlantic area before he went north for good.
He was a great heel, made the faces look like angels.

He teamed for awhile with Nikita Kollof and they were HUGE draws. Especially when they held the tag titles and Nikita held the US title.
Man, everybody was hatin on the russkies!

Good times.
Different times

Loved him or hated him, he always put on a good show.

I hadn't heard about George "The Animal" Steele. Same could be said of him.

RIP to both, and thanks for the memories.
