Similar question to Khali but slightly different. I faintly remember Kozlov when he debuted because I tuned Smackdown out at that time for the most part as I was starting to hangout with friends on Fridays, so I never really watched him.
Was he bad? Did the viewers like him? I was very young at the time so my mindset wasn’t as attune as it is now to noticing if people are bad wrestlers, cut bad promos, etc.

Should’ve been the next great heel in the business.

I was a big fan in 2008 and it looked like they had big plans for him when he pinned the Undertaker clean on Smackdown, but I didnt like how he became a comedy act which was the norm for the PG Era. Shouldnt this be in the Classic Wrestling board? He hasnt wrestled in more than 5 years.

He should have had facial hair. Looks way more intimidating now.  |

To me Kozlov was another product of pushed way too hard way too soon. I don’t know of many guys that get that same level of push that guys like Khali, McIntyre (09), Swagger, Rusev, etc do that can keep it going for too long. Sheamus is the only one that comes to mind.
He should have been more. Although he also would have been booked better as just a straight badass. Instead like most guys I listed above, I was supposed to dislike him because he’s not American in the eyes of WWE.

I have no strong opinions on him. I think he’s probably properly appreciated...

I put more stock in Khali. This big oof was alright as a comedy act or as a big guy with Regal and Ezekiel but on his own he was jockstrap wash.

Mitch is basically just another version of him.. I don't see why we are comparing Kozlov and Spirit Squad Mitch. They were completely different. |
