There was another televised match where Nelson teamed up with Mike Davis against Slaughter and Kernodle. Steamboat, Youngblood and Rotundo got involved in it as well.
The funny thing about the Nelson to Zhukof transformation, I remember Nicolai Volkof attacked him in Mid-South after a match he lost, saying "you're not a Russian,you're an American." Then years later they became the Bolsheviks.
@rtenny7 Funny thing about that is, when the Bolsheviks broke up, Zhukof accused Volkov of not being a real Russian. He claimed he was from Lithuania, one of the first break-away republics during the USSR's Velvet Revolution. The funny thing about that was, neither one of these guys is Russian. One's American and the other one's Croatian.
This was when Dory Funk Jr. was booking Mid-Atlantic. Snooze fest.
