I like playing as Kozlov on SD vs RAW 2010.

and also to deep a little deeper in regards to Kozlov being world champion some day. I liked him a lot at first. I really thought he was going to get over. I was pretty amped up for Kozlov vs HHH but the match was a trainwreck. I think the most exciting part of that match was a punch exchange after a 21 minute headlock. Perhaps if THAT ONE MATCH had been better it would have been easier for the big man.

More things:

1. He got traded to ECW which I thought was a GREAT move. His debut was AWESOME. he showed up in a Russian military uniform and threatened the world. However, that shit was dropped and within 2 weeks he was nothing more than a lackey for William Regal. Another chance he had and THEY dropped the ball....He should have ridden that new gimmick and become ECW champion.

2. He has standard WWE big man syndrome. He shows up and gets a monster push. Loses to a big star and then all of a sudden becomes jobber to the stars..and within months jobber to.......everyone else. The formula is tried and true and a lot of the WWE fans realized the formula was taking effect and just gave up.

3. I HATED Koz in the comedy gimmick at first as I feel that Santino's schtick has ran its course. However, the last few weeks/month they have been given more to do than just schmooze with a guest host and in return are slightly more appealing and somewhat charming on screen characters. Kovlov can pull off sympathetic babyface very well evidentally.

4. Monster heels rarely become the champ. IF they ever give him another go they need to work it totally different. They need to let his size be known but don't dumb him down to nothing more than a vicious monster. He needs to talk. He needs to be part of a group, even. He has the potential to be a big star but to get him there he very well might need a few high up friends and a mouth piece.
