I LOVE U-S-OF-A!

[Xero]

From PWInsider:

Vladimir Kozlov was among those becoming American Citizens today in Tampa, Florida.

Kozlov commented, "Oh to be a U.S. citizen has been like a dream for long time. When I was raised and born in Russia, I had [a] dream to come to United States because U.S. [is a] land of big opportunity. If you work hard, you can reach whatever you want."

Fox in Tampa featured a story and interview with Kozlov, which you can read by click here (http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/local/hillsborough/vladimir-kozlov-becomes-us-citizen-120709).

Does this mean the WWE will change his place of residence during his ring intro to Dayton, Ohio? :shifty:

Congratulations to Oleg Prudius! Hopefully, this can be used to turn him face somehow. I loved his feud with Triple H during his time on Friday Night SmackDown!™.

[The Jayman]

I love U S of A too

[Rammsteinmad]

Good for him! American citizen and working for Double-Double-E! :y:

[el bobbo]

Good job Kozlov!

[Stealth-Icon]

They should repackage him now and have him come out to Hulk's old music. I am a real American

[Xero]

Just give him Hogan's entire gimmick.

"Da 24 inch pythons run wild on you, comrade!"

nah, he should have the old Rougeau Brother gimmick where he says he loves USA and takes on American type culture, but he is really just mocking the Americans. And he'll just get more and more irritating to the fans. lol definately give him "Real American" as his theme with this gimmick.

Shit, I had no idea he was actually a Rooskie to begin with... Guess I suck for once...
