For the boy from the projects with the Iron Man Muscle vision, to the professional wrestler who became recognized all over the world, there was little else to accomplish. At the age of thirty-three, I had climbed the "ladder of success." I had reached the pinnacle of the mountain. There I was, looking out over humanity wondering, "What else can I accomplish?" In fact, a friend once said, "Nikita, you"ve done more in thirty-three years of life than most people do who live to be 100." Even with four daughters (yes four), wealth, big houses, fancy cars, world wide travel and all the worldly success, something was missing. I did not feel complete. I felt out of balance, like there was a void in my life. Although I appeared happy in my outward appearance, I was lonely on the inside. You wouldn"t have noticed it with your natural eye. No amount of searching through the social and worldly experiences seem to provide solace for this loneliness and emptiness I was feeling within. In October of 1993, came yet another defining moment in my life. This would be the single most significant moment of my life. I responded to an altar call to accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior. Obviously, I had walked past this opportunity on many occasions. On that day I had the courage to take the walk to meet the Man. The only Man for the rest of my life. As "Nature Boy" Ric Flair used to say, "To be the man, you"ve got to beat the man. And you have to walk that aisle." I walked the aisle. Not to beat the Man, but to bow a knee and dedicate my life to the Man. I decided from that moment on, it would be "Koloff for Christ." I have adopted as my goal what Christ said in the garden of Gethesmane: "Not my will, but thy will be done."
