Join noted author, historian, and actor Nikita Breznikov as he teams up with Monte & The Pharaoh Mainstay Benny “The One and Only Playa” Scala for another very special episode of “When It Was Real." Each week, Nikita and Benny delve into the sacred history of the WWWF/WWF in the 1970's. This week, we welcome Melodie Perras to our show. Melodie is the granddaughter of professional wrestling legend and recent WWE Hall of Famer Ivan Koloff. Koloff scored what many argue is the most significant victory in the history of professional wrestling, cleanly pinning WWWF Champion Bruno Sammartino at Madison Square Garden on January 18, 1971, ending Sammartino's historic near 8 year reign. Nikita, Melodie, and Benny will discuss both Ivan Koloff, despised and feared wrestling heel, as well as Oreal Perras, beloved grandfather. Take a ride in the Wrestling Wayback Machine to one of the greatest eras in the history of wrestling. Benny and Nikita, your Co-Pilots, promise you a safe trip and a guaranteed nostalgia overload! #whenitwasreal #ivankoloff #nikitabreznikov #january181971
"The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff has plenty to say about winning the WWWF title from Bruno Sammartino, working tag with The Superstar Billy Graham, fighting the Iron Sheik on a commercial airplane, raising hell with Mad Dog Buzz Sawyer, and getting clean thanks to the help of Nikita Koloff! You'll hear about kicking drugs, and starting his own ministry too!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Here is your Pro Wrestling News Report for April 9, 2025. Running Time: 49 Minutes. Note from DT: Originally I had no desire to do this news update. But you will hear within the first 15 minutes why I changed my mind. No matter what was going on, Kev always did everything he could for the show to go on. Even in his final hour, he was thinking about Monday's DTKC Show and all of you. I legit heard Kev Castle in my heart yelling at me to get off my ass and do this for everyone. He always did. Topics covered in this report include: More on the passing of our fallen friend Kevin Castle, the amazing tributes pouring in for Kev, The DTKC Family going forward, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone WWE announces Kamala, Ivan Koloff and Dory Funk, Sr for 2025 WWE Hall Of Fame: Legacy Wing Less than two weeks before it happens, Lex Luger claims WWE hasn't responded about Sting inducting him into Hall Of Fame. Tony Khan claims he hasn't spoken with Sting about the Luger induction. And Sting hasn't contacted TK about inducting Luger. Do you believe them? Drew McIntyre explains why many newer wrestlers of today are pu**ies; feels storyline and emotion trump actual wrestling; and makes a hilarious comment about Brock Lesnar Tiffany Stratton addresses her controversial promo exchange with Charlotte Flair on SmackDown Stephanie Vaquer to defend NXT Women's Championship in a Fatal 4-Way at NXT Stand And Deliver WWE signs partnership deals with Getty Images and Minute Maid Michin vs Sol Ruca: WWE Speed Number One Contenders Tournament Final Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon and WWE file motions to have the 'Ring Boys' Lawsuit dismissed.

This month Al Getz and Jon Boucher look at the WWWF in 1971, including one of the most shocking title changes in wrestling history!

In the Summer of 1980, Dusty Rhodes wanted Ole Anderson to be his partner in a Tag Team match against the Assassins. Ole had been on the face side for over a year at this point, but what transpired in a cage match at the Omni set up an amazing story of a year long plot that included the likes of Stan Hansen, Ivan Koloff, Gene Anderson, Tommy Rich, Tony Atlas and more as Ole earned the trust of many and lost the trust of his fellow heels to ultimately take down Dusty Rhodes. This angle had repercussions that went on for the next 7 years and you could even say it had a hand in creating the Four Horseman in 1985. Its Ole Andersons heel turn on Dusty Rhodes from GCW in the Summer of 1980! Give it a listen!

From there, we talk about the Iron Claw movie, even though Beau hasn't watched it yet. There's chat about dramatic licenses vs historical inaccuracies, Easter Eggs, when can a sad movie have a positive ending and more. That segues into a long discussion about being a wrestling historian and the problems that can entail, when you research something built on a lie, including primary sources and their trustworthiness, faulty memories and newspaper reporters keeping kayfabe.We end the show with a talk about Beau's Southern States Wrestling promotion, their recent Hall of Fame inductions and upcoming shows this spring and summer.
REMEMBERING THE REF FOUR YEARS LATER WITH FONDNESS LAUGHTER AND LOVE Jeffrey “Jeff” Charles Robinson, 42, went to be with the Lord on February 29, 2020. We know he's enjoying the wrestling ring in the sky. He was born on April 19, 1977 at DePaul Hospital in Norfolk, VA to Edgar & Brenda Robinson. Jeffrey is most known for his passion for professional wrestling. As a child, Jeff's late Grandpa Donald Major introduced him to professional wrestling. His love for wrestling never stopped & he was a walking encyclopedia about everything wrestling. He met numerous professional wrestlers throughout his life, but was most proud of meeting Ric Flair & he was very grateful of his friendship with the late Ivan Koloff. When Jeff turned 18, he became an official referee for various indie wrestling circuits which is where he earned the nickname, “Jeff the Ref”. Later, that love of wrestling brought him to become the head of security for Vanguard Championship Wrestling (VCW) & he enjoyed working with everyone there. Most recently Jeff was a co-host in a podcast called, “Wrestling with the Future.” He was so very proud of how much this “little podcast that could” was growing. Jeffrey also enjoyed his time as a waiter at The Cheesecake Factory where he had the opportunity wait on Tom Hanks, Shirley MacLaine & Bruce Smith of the Washington Redskins to name a few. Bruce Smith liked Jeff's service so much that while Jeff worked there, he would only eat there when Jeff was working & even wrote a complimentary letter about Jeff to The Cheesecake Factory offices. Jeff's incredible customer service skills served him very well both at The Cheesecake Factory and then at GEICO where he was a sales agent.

Tim and Rich hop on to YouTube to get back to 1985 and the SuperClash 1985 from Chicago's Comiskey Park. SuperClash, the NWA/AWA/WCCW's response to the first WrestleMania has a star-studded lineup, a big, hot crowd, and some subpar presentation issues. Larry Nelson calls the whole show himself. He barrels through classics like Candi Divine vs Sherri Martel, Sgt Slaughter vs Boris Zhukov, Stan Hansen vs Rick Martel, plus work by Scott Hall, Khrusher Khrushchev, Ivan Koloff, Nick Bockwinkel, Curt Hennig, Dick the Bruiser, Baron Raschke, Kerry Von Erich, Little Mr. T vs Little Tokyo, and many more!
