Is Kozlov legit?

[Creative Has Nothing for Me]

Where I am, we don't get CW and won't get My Network TV so I haven't seen Smackdown in almost a year. Anyway, curiosity got me and I'm watching this weeks (last night's) Smackdown! and they are making Kozlov out to be a new age Ivan Drago. He doesn't strike me as anything special but the hype is decent. Is this guy a russian Lesnar or will it be another Snitsky push?

[v/\v]

I don't know what to make of him yet tbh but i wish they would give him music, even "tradional" cliched Russian themed music would do.

I guess only time can tell, but I can see him getting a better push than Snitsky.

[commish13]

I've heard both good and bad things, but it's tough to tell. He's got good intensity, doesn't screw anything up during his squashes, and has a pretty interesting set of moves. We'll have to wait and see what he's like in real matches before we can judge.

[Kody]

He'll amount to nothing.

Well he is a Russian MMA fighter so he can wrestle, But it's up to the WWE to decide what to do with him. I personally hope they push him to at least a few title match's, And they don't make him a Russian Snitsky.

I really think he could be a big star if WWE pushed him right

He's horrendous in the ring. I'm really hoping that he'll get released soon.

[tommyglamm]

he has a move or two. that's all i will give him.

iS this the same guy that used to be in the crowd and used to say " I LUV DUBBLE DUBBLE EEEE!"

Yep that's him. I think he's unique and hope he's around for awhile.

[T1]

As somebody who's watched basically every match of his, I'd have to say I like him. I'm not a fan but that's mostly because he doesn't have much of an identity.

I think he's got an interesting set of moves, great intensity, a good look, and he's been booked pretty decently.

However, he needs to make a jump to better competition and he needs to do it NOW. I don't want to see more squahses again Moore, Yang, & Noble..

[OmegaGaijin]

they should give him red and yellow attire

I have a feeling he wont last long

[scoobypat]

I almost feel as if you're naturally at a disadvantage with the IWC if you have an impressive physique or are a big man. From what I've seen of Kozlov he's pretty legit, but like most have said we've only seen squash matches so much is still desired to be seen.

[justicesmith12]

If they use him right, he could make it far, I think.

Yep. Dude can cut a hell of a promo.

[slappy]

They'll wait until Taker gets back and they'll feud. Taker will end up destroying him and that will be the last of him.
