How can the WWE not see that they are wasting time with Vladmir Kozlov?

This is something that really confuses me.

WWE is a multi billion dollar company, on top of the world since defeating their competion years ago and their closest competitor cant even touch them in the least (I'm referring to TNA here who are IMO #2, but far far off). Now, obviously, the company knows what they are doing.

I mean, it seems that the company has "it" together, right?

Yet, out of nowhere comes what I can only say is a waste of:

A) Talent
B) Time
C) Money
D) Airtime
E) Opportunity. (To use a different star in his position)

What is this "waste" that I am speaking of? Vladmir Kozlov, WWE's latest so called "monster".

Now, the WWE should really know their history and that they have pushed similar "monsters" many times in the past who have come to meet the face of failure after a lot of investment into them. Just to name a few that come to mind, lets remember Heidenreich, Sylvester Turkey, Bill DeMott, A-Train, Travis Tomko etc. (Snitsky too to a degree, but I will withold judgment as he is still with the WWE)

Basically, WWE takes a large wrestler and throws them on air week after week giving them squash match after squash match...when the guy is actually POOR!

How could anyone in the WWE, with all their years of experience and knowledge not see that Vladmir Kozlov can't go anywhere? He is obviously not very good in the ring, seeing as all his matches so far are squashes, the WWE doesnt seem to have confidence in putting him into competetive matches. The guy also is dangerous (as he is prone to unjuring others) and most of all, he has no mic skills because he is foreign.

Honestly, you can put ANYONE into Kozlov's role and it would be the same thing, only with other guys, you might have POTENTIAL for them to turn into something. All Kozlov has going for him is that he will probably be turned into a comedic character, jobbed out and released just like Heidenreich and the numerous other unbeatable monsters.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the money and time to develop ANOTHER wrestler that has potential to go somewhere? I mean WWE wastes a match every week on this guy who is OBVIOUSLY not going to go anywhere in the company.

Imagine if Paul Burchill was getting his push? Now thats a guy with POTENTIAL!

It just boggles the mind how a company like the WWE could be missing this simple point.
