Aaaaah, Nikolai Volkoff and the Iron Sheik. It was great to be alive and a teenage boy in the early to mid 80s. Every Sunday morning the forces of evil would battle against the champions of good.
You may wonder what may have spurred this tangent. Well, I was looking for information about a show on Friday night. One of the main performers is Tim Young. Punch that into google and the Tim Young I want is not first, it is the campaign manager for Nikolai Volkoff’s run for Baltimore County House of Delegates, District 7. From what I can gather, this is going on right now. Spenser, it is your duty to provide a little more information on the powers and the body this former wrestler and current code enforcer is trying to become a part.
Also, as a follow up, I would really like to see a picture of someone wearing a campaign shirt.
volkoff has a myspace blog:
