Get ready for a very special episode of When It Was Real – the ultimate old school wrestling podcast – with WWWF historian, author, actor, and legendary manager Nikita Breznikov, alongside wrestling writer and podcast host Benny “The Playa” Scala!

This week, we pay a heartfelt tribute to WWE Hall of Famer Nikolai Volkoff, just as we approach the 7th anniversary of his passing. From Cold War heat to beloved icon, Nikolai's incredible journey through the golden era of wrestling is one you won’t want to miss.

Nikita Breznikov, who managed Nikolai in the ring and remained a close personal friend for decades, shares untold stories, emotional memories, and behind-the-scenes moments you won’t hear anywhere else.

And don’t be surprised if an old friend or two drops by for a surprise run-in to honor the big man!

📺 Catch it all this Wednesday at 7 PM Eastern, only on The Playa Entertainment Network.
