Not in the very near future but I wouldn't count him though in fact I could envision this happening around the same time the Winter Olympics are held next though seeomg as their being held in Russia.

I'm only here because I couldn't believe a thread about Kozlov went to 2 pages...

Joe's in TNA, you can't blame him for a bit of comfort eating. One day with Russo and we'd all go on a krispy kreme binge.

This basically. If they had faith in him being 'the guy', they'd have maintained his push when they tried it first time. Of course things can change but I doubt they go back to him with the guys that are clearly ahead of him now. In fact I'd be surprised if he was still employed in 18-24 months.

As for Koslov, no I don't think he will ever be a World Champ. Nor should he be. You can use the "Well Jeff/Miz/Khali/Sheamus/etc managed it" angle or you like but it means jack (just like the "If Koko is in the HoF, anybody can be" argument). Hardy was one of, if not the most over guy in the company at the time. Sheamus and Miz are worlds better than Koslov on the mic, in the ring and in their past accomplishments/achievements. Kahli is a spectacle, you could put the belt on him any day of the week and people would buy it cos he's a fucking giant. Koslov might be imposing but he lacks ANY "x factor". The guy comes across devoid of any personality. He is a fantastic "straight man" to Santino's comedic foil and long may he stay that was - it's the only time he's been interesting. Honestly, I'd rather see Santino "get serious" and win the title. |

What I meant is that the title doesn't mean as much as it did, let's say in 2000. Winning the belt back then actually meant something. It gets passed around like HBPunk's cornhole at SlickTrickDemon's sausage party. By prop I meant they just give it to a guy to help them get over ie. Jack Swagger (especially true ever since there was 2 belts, mainly in the past 5 years or so)
When they crown a new Undisputed Champ, it will mean something again |

If they have an undisputed championship they will do what they usually do. The champion will stick to one show and then the other brand will be essentially without a legit main event for their ppvs.
They aren't going to have a superstar do a show on Monday and then do another tv show on Tuesday every single week. One brand (cough) smackdown (cough) will suffer. |

Things going for Vladimir Kozlov:
* His nationality * His legitimate background * His size * He is getting over with the crowd as a face * He appeared in The Wire Things going against Kozlov: * He's not the best worker in the ring * His mic skills aren't exactly top-notch * There are so many more captivating choices Honestly, I think it comes down to timing. If everyone in the WWE worth a damn is injured and they need somebody, Koz might get a shot. Other than that, I can't see it unless his popularity really swells up. |

Yeah, I'm not saying that he's gonna be that "Franchise Champion" where he's all over the media doing interviews and such, if he's a heel, I see him more like a Yokozuna-esque Champion. Something short term
As a comedic face, I doubt they'd have him as Champion, nobody would take it seriously |
