Favorite "foreigners"?

It's always been a simple yet effective gimmick to portray a foreigner as either a heel or face. Who are/ have been some of your favorite foreigners as a heel or face? I've been watching alot of older NWA matches and Ivan Koloff has become one of my favorite foreign heels. I liked his gruff voice, the look with the chains, and the fact that he was only 5ft 10 but was around 300lbs in his prime (weight in Kg of course). My other favorites have to be The Iron Shiek and Nikolai Volkoff (Foreign Leigon). There match against the US Express at Wrestlemania 1 is one of my favorite matches of all time, and they had Classy Freddie Blassie as there manager. Today, I would still pay to go to a match as long as Nikolai sings the Russian National Anthem and I get to hear the Iron Shiek rant and rave about god knows what after the match
