Something I'm wondering about Kozlov
 

First of all, he sucks. He started to grow on me until I realized he was getting pushed to the main event. He should be nowhere near it.

Here's my thought: Do you think he could be better used beating up little people, ala Mike Knox? Maybe they could keep up the shtick on their respective shows, then have a match because one thinks the other is trying to be like him. Or they could team up in a sense to just beat down all the little people.

Just something I thought of when I saw him on SD!

Discuss.

Yeah he should do that...in FCW

I'd feel bad for Umanga, but it seemed tonight he was getting the Smackdown dubbed face pop, so maybe they're setting that up

Maybe not at Mania, but I'd like to see Kozlov and Umanga go at it.

It just doesn't seem like it'd be a Mania-caliber match to me. It'd end up being like Batista/Umaga last year.

I suggested an idea awhile back that Kozlov and Knox could form a tag team/alliance....and their gimmick would be to just bully random people, etc.

Kozlov/Knox could serve a purpose for the WWE.....as whichever up coming face tag team beats them (cleanly), go 'get over'. This of course, is if the WWE does a decent job of making Kozlov/Knox look credible.

kozlov-knox wouldn't work, kozlov is about competition, not beating little people

I agree, but the way Knox is going that doesn't seem feasible. I know they're trying to build Knox, but jobbing to Rey every week isn't going to do it. (Maybe I'm a little biased because I hate Rey, but that's not the point.)

I'm essentially being hypothetical, since Vince seems to think Kozlov is good enough to be in the main event. I'm thinking of how Kozlov could be better utilized and far away from the top of the heap.

I hought he was shit before he made it to the main event. But he has fit in IMHO. He is a decent big man threat.

I have been thinking that Umaga is going to turn face and either face Vladimir Kozlov or Big Show. Right now, I'm thinking that one faces Umaga and the other gets into MITB. Big Show would be fun(ny) as hell in a Ladder Match, but I forsee them doing Umaga vs. Show, and letting Kozlov get a chance at the World Title shot.

And no, Kozlov should not be anywhere near the main event.

He seems like a decent threat, but World Champ material (like Vince seems to think he is)?

The only Kozlov near the WWE main event should be Alex.

They teased a Big Show/Umanga program before the latter got hurt, so I wouldn't mind seeing that start up again. Kozlov in MITB would be really stupid, IMO. Not that he'd win, I'd just hate to see him in it.

I'd much prefer The Brian Kendrick to be in the match, of course, but I can just see them putting Kozlov in as a "perfect combat machine out of his environment." You know, to try and create drama for a character no one really cares about.

Koslov would end up hurting someone in MITB

I think they thought he would really get over and be able to give him a push. But he just doesn't seem like a guy that could be a world champion. Knox/Kozlov beating carlito/Primo for the tag belts. Then they bull Miz/Morrison around for awhile

I think Kozlov should fight Knox, specifically. All the fucking time. Like wild animals that you can't stop from hating each other.

Umaga/Kozlov wouldn't be the worst thing they've ever done.

Umaga shouldn't have to waste a 'Mania on Koslov. I want to see him and Manu/Sin jump into the Tag Team fray, Koslov should sit Mania out. Everybody can't be in the Big Show.

That's what he said.

:lol:

I think they should add in Kane to Kozlov and Knox and they could call themselves KKK. They could go around beating up people smaller than them, like R-Truth, MVP, Shelton, Benjamin, and JTG. Obviously these would be very heinous acts, so they would need some threatening outfits to symbolize the devastation. Probably ghost costumes, since the victims would feel like they are almost dead. And Kane, known for burning things, could leave burning crosses in the yards of the group's next victim, telling them to get out of town or suffer the wrath of the KKK!

This shouldn't be funny. I hate myself for laughing.

Honestly, I wouldn't hate Kozlov/Umaga.

I dont think being Streak fodder is bad at all. HE is better than Gonzalez and Henry.

WHo ever said he was title material?

Just because he is in a few matches to put over other peeps doesnt mean anything. Every upper mid card guy gets a few big matches.

Even HArdcore Holly.

The first sentence of this was great. :p

I honestly think those three together would make an awesome group, truthfully.

Kozlov/Khali/Umaga as a stable with Ranjin Singh serving as the group's all-purpose translator.

Kozlov: Triple H, Yah smirnoff da smolltsaaataapapofftaa
Khali: iuygohnlnlogoblkjnloiblbolbonloitvjb
Umaga: BAHHHHHHHHHHH SAMMMOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't mind him, he's an easily dislikable heel(for story purposes) and therefore works in regard to marks.

I'm still waiting for him to beat the crap out of someone, grab the mic and say 'If he dies....he dies'
