"Often imitated, never duplicated" Wrestling veteran discusses stepping into the ring with Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen (Exclusive)
Wrestling legend Nikita Koloff recently discussed squaring off against Ric Flair and the rest of The Four Horsemen in a Wargames match.
The inaugural Wargames match took place in Atlanta, GA, during WCW's The Great American Bash 1987 pay-per-view. The match featured the team of Road Warriors (with Paul Ellering), Dusty Rhodes, and Nikita Koloff taking on The Four Horsemen (with J.J. Dillon).
During this week's UnSKripted podcast, Koloff mentioned that the Wargames match was very memorable for him. He noted that the likes of Flair, Arn Anderson, and Tully Blanchard always put on great bouts. He also praised The Horsemen's professionalism while doing business inside the ring.
Here's what Koloff had to say:
"The one I'll mention just briefly was the first Wargames - Superpowers, The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering against the Horsemen with J.J. Dillon. That was electrifying. Again, often imitated, never duplicated," Koloff said. "Any matches against the Horsemen in any combination."
He continued:
"A singles match against Ric Flair, a tag team against Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson. Two of the most consummate professional wrestlers in the business still to this day." (From 28:53 - 29:40)
