Shame to hear. Hope he's not in pain.
I'd love for him & Nikita to go in together. Both had great runs in the business.

That's unfortunate. I hope he can recover but liver disease doesn't often work that way. He is long overdue as a HOFer.

Wait Ivan isn't in the HOF yet? I would have bet the house he was already in. That said I do think he and Nikita should go in together now.

Very sad to hear. I hope both him and Vader go into the HOF this year, considering the state of their health.

I got to have dinner with him in Las Vegas for the cauliflower alley club, he is such an entertaining guy with so many stories so it's such a shame to hear this. Hall of famer for sure

Can he get a liver transplant? Or is it because of his age, it doesn't make him a good candidate for one?

That said I do think he and Nikita should go in together now. that's what i was thinking! the guy is a former wwwf champion, wrestled throughout north america in prominent feuds throughout several decades, and made a template of the evil foreignor that is still used time and time again! koloff is more than due for the hof. |

I met him back in 2013. Couldn't have been a nicer guy. He did seem in bad shape even then. He walked with a cane and was very shaky. His autograph actually looked like a couple zig zaggy lines. He was more than happy to chat though and was super happy to be there. I don't remember what we talked about exactly but I just remember he was going on about Dominic Denucci and how they were great friends.

It is weird that the WWE hasn't put the man who ended Bruno's first WWWF Title reign into the HOF yet.
Hope he can beat this though!

Former WWE Champion and the best "Russian" wrestler IMO.
We all gotta go some time, but best to Ivan.

I know people meet wrestlers and are like "ohhh he was the nicest person I've ever met omg"
But when I met Ivan I legit felt like I had known him my entire life
Would be a real shame for him to go, and without any recognition from WWE lately
He told me he had been struggling for money lately when he joined the concussion lawsuits. He didn't want to sue WWE but it was just about his only choice.
Very sincere man, can only hope his health improves
One of my biggest regrets in life right now has to be not getting a picture with him that day
