I just watched the battle royal from this weeks SD! and, boy, did Kozlov look like crap! His moves look fake, like he's not putting any force behind them. Why is this guy getting pushed?

I think you meant to say "Vladimir Kozlov is all kinds of win."

He is pretty bad. But I can't hate a guy that was in The Wire for three or four episodes.  |

I like him, but I can see where some might not.
He's been promoted very well.

He reminds me of Sylvester Terkay, in that they do the opposite of captivating me. Same goes for Knox though I guess.

the problem with most of the heels today, imho, is that they get way too much of mic time. an effective heel is dastardly by his actions. let them be a silent menace, unpredictable and a threat to anyone (faces, refs, divas, backstage crew, planted fans etc).
kozlov looks like a great heel, but when he gets on the mic, he kills his gimmick. and he needs to get rid of that weak head butt, which looks more like pushing opponents away anyways

He is pretty good to me. I am surprise that there is no feud between him and the Great Khali considering that he was the guy who threw Khali over the top rope twice in a short span.

He's a big Russian guy with decent power moves and good look. I like the way he wrestles: it's leagues better than the same generic stuff we get from a lot of other guys, like Priceless. For the role he occupies, I don't know what else you want him to do? Pop the crowd constantly? He's a heel. Submit everyone? People will then say he's boring. He's fine and I think his moves look decent enough.

My beef with him is the execution of his moves. Even his punches just look weak, like they wouldn't hurt you if they connected. He puts no velocity behind them. Kind of like he is punching in slow motion.

He's a good monster heel, but now that Umaga's back he's going to be outclassed.

I quite like him. I like how they consistent in his booking and I like his character.
The headbutts are kind of funky But as long as he's not pinning anyone off them anymore, they work for me.

he was their substitute while Umaga was gone
now that he's back he'll be transitioned into Kozlov's role and Kozlov will go the way of Khali. he'll become a jobber then get a face turn

I mean, I really don't recall him losing much, other than like once or twice to Undertaker and maybe Kane or Mark Henry. |
