Kozlov and JBL

[MikeRaw]

Well, tonight, is JBL vs HBK, and apparently the winner gets to face Taker at 'Mania... But Kozlov, as Vickie announced on SD, is challenging the winner of it, or inserting himself into the match, or something like that. I think taht we all know WWE hasn't completely lost their minds, and obviously JBL or Kozlov won't be the ones facing Taker, because it will almost certainly be HBK vs Undertaker.
So the question is, for the other two guys, JBL and Kozlov, do you see them having any part in Mania? If so, what?
Do you see JBL having any major role in a storyline from now until WM25, in order to have a match, or will he be left off? What would you like to see JBl and Kozlov do for Mania?

 

[trilogy]

i say he be left out or be manager for somneone up and coming...hbk vs taker should be epic hopefully or kozlov vs taker streak vs streak but not in my mind hopefully not at wrestlemania

 

[Airfixx]

If HBK faces Taker, then I can't see what's left for JBL... At least if he was still in the angle with Shawn he could have played a non-competing role.

Unless he randomly attacks someone in the coming weeks then I doubt the "Wrestling God" will be at WM(*).

(*Gotta consider that it could be last orders for JBLs in-ring career if he can't even find himself on the WM card... Then again wasn't it rumoured last year that he was ready to retire and wanted a run vs HBK before he did?)


Koslov: Meh... Battle of the giants maybe... Show, Koslov, Khali, Knox etc.

 

[razaki]

I'm not a particular fan of Koslov. I'm sick of big giants with no charisma like that.

HBK has to face Undertaker at WM...anything else will be pathetic, so JBL probably won't be there this year.

 

[Soulpower]

Kozlov and JBL will probably be thrown into MITB. Personally, I would prefer that they would be thrown into the pits of hell so I would never have to see either guy in the ring again.

 

[Kaedon]

I guess MITB is an option, but I see Kozy or JBL in a monsters match a la Kane/Taker or Batista/Umaga. Perhaps another brand vs. brand match where the two can face off?

 

[LKP]

I think we will have a last chance mitb battle royal at wm25 or before it with jbl and kozlov in. I said before also i think kozlov will work for jbl when the draft happens soon so i can see them working together sooner.

 

[noumenon]

So I guess they're either going to have HBK be the one to finally defeat Kozlov....or perhaps see a triple threat match at Mania ::gag::.
Well, after RAW we know Kozlov's feelings on the subject...
"FFFFWRRAAAAA!.........FFFWWWRAAAA!!"

I mentioned this elsewhere, and although we'd end up with a crappy match at WM (I'll mention it in a bit), it would give us Taker v Shawn.

Next week during Shawn vs Kozlov, JBL interferes and gives HBK the win by DQ (Thus keeping Kozlov's "undefeated" streak alive). Kozlov gets angry at JBL and attacks him. JBL turns face for a couple of weeks (Since WM is in his hometown), he faces and defeats Kozlov at WM.

Kozlov streaks ends, JBL gets to have one match at Wrestlemania as a face in front of the home crowd, and he can finally retire afterwards.

It gives JBL and Kozlov something to do, it makes for a nice send-off as far as Bradshawn is concerned, and we get Taker vs Michaels.

 

[noumenon]

^Sure...but he needs to dye his hair black, grow a beard, crack a beer and start puffin on a cigar.

 

[Soulpower]

^^^Not really.

The fans will see it as JBL is American, Kozlov is Russian. Therefore, let's cheer for JBL and boo Vladimir.

Yeah because JBL after everything he's said in his hometown is going to get cheered in a match against Kozlov. If anything the match would keep the building dead and eliminate the epic feel of WM. JBL is a dominating belittling heel and his gimmick only works with fan favorites. He's done too much to just turncoat for a month. Kozlov isn't a good enough Heel to make people want to boo him and cheer JBL, JBL has never reached the main event level as a face and would bomb.

Kozlov shouldn't even be going to WM and he won't be. At most he'll interfere and that interference will be wtf owned by the two faces making him look dumb. (Taker/Shawn)

JBL's ticket to wrestlemania is going to turn out to be MITB and it's going to be hilarious seeing him hype MITB. Kozlov could be in the MITB but i hope not.

YES! Its common wrestling history. Put an American wrestler against a foreigner, and the American will ALWAYS get cheered. All JBL needs to do is suck up to the fans for a couple of weeks, and he's a face.

 

[noumenon]

And then flip the Jericho/JBL feud. "You transparent hypocrite of a patriot...look at you, pandering to all of these puppets"..... lmao
