hee hee hee, silly russians.  Although Ivan was the only one to pull out a win this week it looks like the family Koloff may put Valiant & Dusty's title reign in jeopardy.  And come next week, I wonder who Dragon will be going after first, hated enemy Flair, or the new king of the quick check Ole Anderson. :)
