Nikolai Volkoff, a former World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Federation superstar, meets U.S. Army Spc. Chris Snyder, from King's Mountain, N.C., at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar on Jan. 21. Volkoff, originally from Croatia, came to the United States in 1970 during the epic rise of professional wrestling in television entertainment. He was best known as the evil Russian who teamed up with the Iron Sheikh in World Tag Team Championships. "I used to watch all these early wrestling guys," said Snyder. "Volkoff was one of the animators who made professional wrestling what it is today. Although, it's a little different nowadays – they kept it real back then." The legends of wrestling began their tour of U.S. military installations in Southwest Asia to show their support for deployed troops.
