According to PWInsider.com, WWE Hall of Fame member and wrestling icon Nikolai Volkoff has passed away at the age of 70.

Volkoff just days ago was released from the Hospital and returned to his home in Maryland and was treated for dehydration.

Volkoff had a very memorable career that included runs with the WWWF and WWF Tag Team Championships. During the expansion of the 1980s, Volkoff did an incredible job as the anti-American, Russian foreign heel-character.

From everyone here at PWP Nation, we want to wish our deepest condolences to Volkoff, his family, fans and friends. Rest in peace.
