Answers:
Nikita S. Koloff (born N. Scott Simpson - name legally changed to Koloff in 1988) is a former American professional wrestler who wrestled throughout the 1980s and early 1990s as "The Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff, which was a play off of the nickname of fan favorite "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes (in fact, it was Rhodes who gave him the nickname).
Nikita became a born-again Christian in 1993 and started to travel world wide with his ministry. He also runs his own small wrestling promotion, the UWA as an outreach of his ministry.
Nikita made a few appearances for NWA:TNA in 2003 as a masked man called "Mr. Wrestling IV" who attacked Dusty Rhodes. He finally unmasked but ended up helping Rhodes against the Sports Entertainment Xtreme stable.
