Can't be Mitch Ryder or Mitch the plant because they are both dead. I don't know any other Mitch wrestlers. Is he an indy guy? He destroyed Jeff Hardy and Shorty G on Smackdown in recent weeks... Lars's real name is Dylan. Anyway, we are off topic. No, Kozlov was not bad.

Koslov felt like one of those guys to me that showed flashes but they never figured out how to use him. He had the confusing debut in the crowd in like 2007, then disappeared for a while before becoming a monster foreign heel before the transition to comedy act. His best role was probably as Santino’s second/muscle but he was in that string of himself, Khali, Brodus and Tensai that went from serious threat heel to dancing and fun-loving midcarder which back to Lars, can’t wait for that stage in his career.

Not a fan of his monster heel run, but he and Santino were gold as a tag team.

I loved the presentation especially him wearing Russian Military Uniform that one time. I liked the aesthetic; but poor in ring work. But, I would like to believe he was underrated. But no, but I think a year of focused in training would of made him a star.

He was nowhere near as bad as Khali, but he was stuck with a dated gimmick. This didn't give him any chance to shine and hook the audience. He showed some of his personality when he was paired with Santino. He had potential for a big angle that would have turned him heel again, and possibly been more successful, but it couldn't have included a gimmick from the '80s. WWE can only go to the same well so many times.

I will just say this I have both a Basic and Elite figure of him so I know he was still in the WWE in 2009-2010. With that said I can’t remember a single thing he did in the wwe at all. If it wasn’t for his two figures I have I wouldn’t remember him at all.

He should have had facial hair. Looks way more intimidating now. This might not be 100% on but I believe I saw an interview of his at one point after his run, and he said that he sort of had this body before signing but WWE wanted a more meatier, brute looking guy. IMO, if Kozlov looked like THIS during his run, I would have taken him way more seriously. This dude is jacked now. So much more believable.

He wasn’t very good. He was possibly too old when he started training, he looked great but he never became a natural. If it was the eighties, he’d have been a huge star. In the late 2000s, he didn’t really connect with any audience. He was too big and legit to be a jobber, but too limited and bland to be a top guy. He was never going to be more than just another body on the roster. His one theme tune was an absolute bop, though.
