[8.0] "His tag team with Zhukov run amok in the AWA putting several teams on notice. Kris Markoff had a hell of a feud with Mad Dog Vachon as the soviet Union were most nastiest. Chris was from Minnesota and he clearly didnt agree with the war. His path into pro wrestling was hard but learning by the man himself Verne Gagne is a task worth moving for. The Macedonian Madman was ahead of his time being a heel."
