The official Vladimir Kozlov sucks thread

[Montana]

Didnt the wwe learn their lesson the first time. This guy is just plan bad. That was like the worst squash match i've ever seen. He didnt seem to know what to do. He seemed lost, and why didnt they give him any music? So we could hear the "who the fuck is this" chant?

Agree/Disagree?

I know their is much better talent in their development pool, it just happens that he's been their longer.

And people say that Batista sucks?! man.. That Russian guy is the smaller version of Khali!
Atleast Khali has an entrance theme and had a manager lol.

 

[Christian]

idk. i was too busy laughing at matt bentley being the jobber that by the time the match was done i didnt even see what happened.

That was like the worst squash match i've ever seen.

I absolutely agree with you there, I mean squash match are usually pretty bad the way it is but he brought it to a whole new level of sucktasticness. When this run ultimately fails they should put him with Santino and just have them as a comedy act, but on the other hand he might bring down the awesomeness which is Santino


The 'E should just release him when this run is over, He’s useless and there’s no need for him to be on Vince’s payroll.

Hmm I didn't see the match last night so I can't really say how awful he is. However I saw him in a dark match on Raw in Cleveland, back in October, and I actually thought he looked pretty good in the ring and all that. So I'm a little surprised by this, I'll have to go try and find this match.

 

[the dark knight]

whats all the bitching about? lol..its just a squash match.

the guy reminds me of heidenreich for some reason. and the thing about his no-music, they're just trying to see how it'll go, fans will buy him as a serious wrestler or just...."WTF?!".

 

[Montana]

he's actually ok, but nothing noteworthy, i just dislike him.

I found it odd, how they didnt try and gimmick or anything like that for him. Especially since it failed the first time.

I also thought there were a couple OVW guys that would be much better choices to be brought up. (Atlas Dabone, Colt Cabana)

Vladmir Kozlov?!?!? Who the hell is that...I could have sworn that was Zinedine Zidane...I mean come on from that headbutt who else could it have been...When i go to the Smackdown tapping May 13, If that dudes there i'm starting the Zinedine Zidane chants...

...but on his overall in ring pressence...He did seem ok and i don't see why with a little work he could be passed off as a good gimmick wrestler...I mean he wasn't so bad as to compare him to Kahli...thats a little far...

 

[CenaMark54]

wait.....he actually had an entrance with no music? Or was he already in the ring after a commercial? I'm confused.

 

[Montana]

just walked out to a smattering of boo's

He's the "Double Double E" guy...He was on WWE TV for a short time between late 2006/early 2007 then he was sent back down to OVW and he worked a lot of dark matches over the last year. The no music thing isn't anything new, WCW did that with The Big Show when he first debuted...

 

[The A-man]

Is it just me or is everyone reverting back to the "classic" IWF ways of people here watching someone new on wrestling TV for the first time then judging them after their first match?

It was his debut squash match for God's sake. You can't go around seeing a person for the first time doing something and just judge him/her like that?

If you really want say anything about the guy wait til AFTER you see more of his matches and in-ring ability.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

I don't know, but for some reason I see Kozlov vs Taker ratherly..and badly, soon.

 

[The A-man]

I doubt that. 'Taker is a very high-profile superstar. Vlad would have to be very well known star himself to face The Dead Man sometime down the road.

If the booking/writing take the time to build him up slowly and allow more of his natural talent (he is trained in free style wrestling, rugby, American football, sambo, kickboxing and judo) and NOT fuck him up then I'm sure he can be a force to reckon with.

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

Like Montana said, there are better big guys down in OVW, and now FCW. The feud with Taker could happen, because Taker only loses to new big men. It was funny to see Matt Bentley as the jobber, he wore a singlet, which was hilarious. I'm surprised he never got signed by WWE, he is HBK's cousin.
