Kozlov/Hardy match should of been a title match

[nealo]

I think Vladimir desirves that title anyone else agree?

[Steveweiser]

They explained why it wasn't, because Kozlov hadn't wrestled on ECW before. Never stopped similar situations before.

[Snitsky]

this match made absolutely no sense to me

[Marvelously Mediocre]

no he doesn't. he's shit.

Kozlov has absolutely nothing to gain from beating Matt Hardy and taking the title. Beating Matt Hardy, maybe. Taking the title, no.

it was a bad booking decision, Kozlov just ISN'T ready for a title run and any heat he got off beating Hardy will fade by the time he DOES earn a reign. At the same time it not only hurts Hardy but ECW as a whole. Yes, it's pretty much established as the "C league" show, but it's never wise to just be so damn blatant about it.

Their feud looks like it's continuing after last night.

I say Matt hands Kozlov his first loss at the Rumble.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

Kozlov isn't ready for the belt yet, especially the ECW title but I don't think his unbeaten streak should end yet either, especially not to Matt Hardy.

I think someone else should get added to their title match. MVP maybe and have MVPs losing streak end with a ECW title win by pinning Matt Hardy?

[The F'N Captain]

While I'm not a fan of Koslov anyway, I think if they are serious about his push they should have had Hardy keep beating him by not loosing. As in Hardy looses by count out, or Hardy just freaking nails Kozlov with the belt after Kozlov attacks Jeff a week earlier. In essence keep Koslov annoyed because while he hadn't LOST to Hardy he never got a clean win. Culminating with Hardy almost beating Kozlov, but Kozlov putting some evil submission on Hardy, with loose Cannon Jeff making the save, and having Kozlov transition to Jeff, for an eventual loss. Matt stays pretty strong, Kozlov gets over as a bad ass, and there's a reason for Jeff to fight him.

I was confused when he won, for some reason i thought it was a title match.

Edge defeated Kozlov and HHH at Survivor Series. So he isn't undefeated no matter how many times WWE want to twist their way around it. A loss is a loss and when you lose, you lose. He's been beaten by Kendrick in a battle royal too.

[sloride]

I thought WWE were marketing him now as never been pinned. Too be honest I zone out when Kozlov appears, he really bores me and has a lot to prove.

[Dirty Hazy]

I thought it was until he didn't leave with Matt's title!

[nealo]

aprt from IC or US title i cant see a more fittign title for Kozlov

[Garee]

No, I'm not ready for another monster heel ECW champion, haven't they done that enough

[bradtherad]

Kozlov as US Champion can be a great heelish run.
