Vladimir Kozlov

[Y 2 Jake]

What's everyone's opinion on him. I know he has'nt wrestled yet but I've heard he's terrible. I think he will just be another bland big guy. WWE seem's to be getting a lot of them latley. I heard that they were making the brand's different, with Raw being similar to what it was during the Attitude Era. And Smackdown similar to what it was like in the 80's. Surley he should be on Smackdown if that is the case as the 80's were full of talentless big guy's. Or maybe they are reforming the Oddities. Either way I cant see him going anywhere.

Yeah i will need to see him in action before i make my mind up on him. Ive also read reports tht he is quite terrible but i want to make my own mind up bout him. Emm i dont know where he wil fit in the WWE at the moment, like you cant make him unbeatable jst after havin Umaga go on a big unbeaten run. They could make him an enforcer/bodyguard type charater for Kenny to help establish him.

Lol they called him Victor Kozlov at the end of the segment

After several weeks of appereance with WWE and interviewing..he claim himself as the biggest/largest Russian champion Wrestler... Love wrestling especailly WWE. Anyone seening this guy doing bussiness with WWE...if so will he be successfull.

I never seen him wrestle before so i dont know what he is capiable of. In my opionion..if he decide to work for WWE and is sucessful..he might be the next undertaker or kane because of his sizes.

He would be the perfect feud with khali..since he said he can beat anyone in the wwe.

He is already wrestling at wwe house shows his real name is oleg prudius or somthing close to that im sure ill see him at the show im going to this weekend we'll see what he can do.

From what i've heard, this guy needs work and is completely green which is why he's not wrestling on TV already. Even though all that "sambo champion" stuff is made up for his gimmick, I still think the guy is pretty athletic. This seems to be a gimmick that the WWE wants to take to the top though.....they've been trying to get a controversial international top heel in there for a long time. Take Muhammad Hassan for example until they had to pull him off for the "beheading" stunt on SD...or think about the original gimmick they had for Kenzo Suzuki(which was a japanese man avenging Japan for World War 2). Kenzo was originally supposed to come in feuding for the World Championship almost immediately. They had to scratch the plans though because they were a little too controversial for TV(and Kenzo's wife refused to let him do it). I'm sure that WWE is viewing this as another chance to finally get this kind of gimmick right and make a great heel out of it. I'm intrigued to see what kind of progress he makes in the ring and how far they let him go with the gimmick.

This guy wrestled in DSW right down the road from where I work. I bumped into him as he was walking out of the bathroom at my workplace and thought to myself, "That's one of the few people that I know could beat me down no question."

Dont sell yourself short. Everyone could beat you down.

 

[Downward Spiral]

I think that this guy is just another big, stupid wrestler that the WWE is well overstocked in at the moment. His gimmick is pointless and I think we can all see through his inability to speak properly on the mic in the fact that he hides it with his stupid accent. From what I have heard, he can't wrestle for his life and that is a big disappointment. Where is the young talent that can wrestle and are willing to get experience? I will tell you. They are in TNA. The WWE needs to start poaching guys from ROH and Japan, not fat guys who they think we need to see more of. This guy will definitely be used better than guys that really deserve to be a WWE superstar. If this guy is ever going to impress people, I think he needs to stay in OVW or DSW because he hasn't been wrestling that long and for some reason is now eligible for the big leagues. Give him some training for crying out loud. Soon the average suplex will disappear from the WWE wrestler's moveset completely. Man the wrestlers in the WWE suck these days...and this guy is sadly appearing to be no different. We have all heard the moronic double double E thing a hundred times already. Although, I am afraid the WWE is going to let the guy wrestle on TV soon as well as say the stupid catchphrase, and I am doubtful that my opinion will change.

 

[Satan's Hockey]

He sucks, I saw him wrestle in a dark match before Armageddon against Scotty 2 Hotty. He's just another big guy whos pretty stiff in the ring. It was a very boring match.

 

[pootytang]

ncreel13, do you ever go to the DSW tapings? I live in McDonough, I've been to it once. Saw MVP wrestle before he came out. It would be cool to see the Vladamir guy.

 

[HellBoundPower]

The guy just doesn't seem to have anything going for him. He's a big, ugly, fat guy with a speech impediment, and he looks like he can't wrestle. They need to just fire him and push Shelton Benjamin for the WWE Title.

 

[Spitty]

seems like another great khali to me big guy with speach problems and slow in the ring

 

[lalakerz]

I DON'T like this guy... I saw him def. Val Venis at a house show, and it was probably 1 of the worst WWE matches I've seen! He's boring, he'll go 2 Raw, and he loves "double, double E" lmao

 

[Shining Wizard]

Whats wrong with you? He is amazing. He has amazing in ring ability. He reminds me much of Kurt Angle. He slows the pace down. Grounds and pounds. He knows a bunch of submissions. He deserves to be on SD! The best brand of wrestling and sports entertainment in WWE history. He reminds me of that russian from Rocky IV. IMO, they should build him up like the russian in Rocky IV was built up. Excluding the feeding of steroids.

yeah, i saw that same dark match at a house show. it was terrible. his speech impediment is probably the only thing that hes got going for him. it gets decent heel heat since the fans like to make fun of stuff like that about wrestlers. and the fact that hes foreign and will definitely be prone to a bunch of USA chants. but as a wrestler, he is very boring. ill go ahead and guarantee his first feud is with hacksaw jim duggan. gee, cant wait for that one.
