@Dogghouse531 That's true but he was a hellva actor...

I wish they would do this more often. It's terrible that in 2011 the audience still jeers anyone that isn't American. More storylines in wrestling should be used as learning and teaching tools rather than mere entertainment.

@FireitupBedford neither is Nikita lol

The best face turn ever.

Magnum TA and David Von Erich were the two young stars that would have led wrestling into the future.

It was a terrific accident that ended Magnum's career in The Sport. Many fans were in tears. He had so much Promise and Ability. He would have given Flair more than enough competition for YEARS.
And as "Glosnos" was where U.S. / U.S.S.R. relationships were at this time, it such a good move on the Promoters part putting these 2 great athletes together to battle the "Evil Within" NWA (The 4 Horsemen).
NWA had a WINNER.

This was, to me, one of the greatest MOVES of Crockett Promotions & The NWA. It was so SHOCKING at first to realize they had put Dusty & Nikita together as The Super Powers.
But I had really liked Nikita from the beginning, he was such an AWESOME athlete, that uncle Ivan brought in to the NWA.
The Super Powers were a good opponent for The 4 Horsemen who were at this time in The NWA, OUT of Control.

Hard to believe he was only 27 when it happened. That's like a basically being a rookie in the wrestling business.
IMO, if TA stayed around, the NWA would still be in business right now and not sold to Turner and eventually McMahon.
