Nikolai entertained while inciting anger in fans all across the @WWE Universe as an in-ring competitor, but backstage he was a gentle and thoughtful family man. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. https://t.co/ItHtCpA1KU

Nikolai Volkoff was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, in this industry or otherwise. Always brought a smile to my face to see him when we were in Baltimore. Condolences to his loved ones.

I did many road trips with Nikolai Volkoff. As we only lived 15 minutes from each other.

I learned so much from him. He was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.

I’ll miss him dearly #RIPNikolaiVolkoff pic.twitter.com/lJG2h01Lto
