is running for state senator in maryland as a republican. Volkoff defected from the former Yugoslavia in the late ’60s as a teenager to escape Communist rule. He’s taking a break from his campaigning this weekend to return to his former hometown of Split, Croatia, for the first time since his defection. His Soviet-sympathizer character, which he created in 1974—he was born Josip Nikolai Peruzovic; Volkoff is his mother’s maiden name—won a World Wrestling Federation (WWF) tag-team championship and earned top billing at the first Wrestlemania in 1985. He was named to the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame last year; Volkoff’s standard pre-match routine included singing the Soviet national anthem, then crowing “America!” with apparent disgust and spitting. But, he says, that spit always landed on the canvas, never on a flag. he says the Iron Shiek will be in maryland to campaign with him.

Would you do him?

Scimowser · « **Reply #9 on:** June 03, 2006, 01:15:57 AM »

he was scary strong. He was the only guy i ever saw press Hogan above his head, but he did it with sheer ease! He just held him there as if he was saying to the crowd "look at your champion now" and just threw him to one side after a few seconds. Ofcourse when Hogan Hulked up he didnt have a chance

Having watched American politics for a while now, this probably won't hurt him too much, and, may, in fact, help him. God knows, you elected George W. twice now and a few years back elected a dead man (Tennessee?), only then to elect his widow. Go on, vote him in, its the American way, and I would love to see him debating a bill using a folding chair.

Yeah, he would be great for our political scene. But lets not give Canada a pass on making us laugh either. IIRC, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog got Quebec all tied up in knots with some choice words:

So you're French and Canadian, yes?" Triumph asked a passer-by in a Continental accent. "You're obnoxious and dull."

And of a third, rather plump, man the puppet asked: "Are you a separatist? Maybe you should try separating yourself from doughnuts first."

Its funny, but your house of Commons had a cow.

I do a lot of business in Ontario and Quebec. It ain't exactly a loving relationship up there between provinces!

Nikoli use to (& may still) live on a farm outside of Baltimore. The first time I went there to pick him up for a match, he was outside stacking hay. He had the door of the loft opened, it was easily 15-17ft off the ground. He had on gloves & was grabbing the bales of hay,1 in each hand & throwing them 1 at a time thru the door like they were nothing singing at the top of his lungs,"She wore an itsey-bitsey yellow polka-dot bikini". I swear to God this story is true. The man was freaky strong. Absolutely one of this nicest humblest man you could ever meet. Had something like a 63in chest,no sh*t.

The Iron Sheik is a homo. In the early 80's at Mike Katz gym in Hamden he was always trying hit on young guys.

You may be right about it actually helping him. Howard Dean's WWE-style promo a few years ago where he let out the high-pitched "yeeaahhh!!!" actually endeared him to me somewhat. I'm very much a capitalist / fiscal conservative, social neo-con / libertarian, and all around anti-liberal... But I may have actually toyed (at least briefly) with the idea of voting for Dean if he had beaten Kerry and gone against Bush, for no other reason than the fact that he is not above making a clown out of himself to get his point across. I voted for Bush in the last two elections for the same reason many others did - more as a way of voting AGAINST Gore and Kerry, rather than actually FOR Bush.
