hbah, send him to ecw for what? there aint that much to hone other than his attire i see nothing wrong with him. he is so old school its great i really don't the problem. his mic work is good he only mentions one thing he doesnt have to mention anything else because he gets great heat automatically anything else would not make sense and wouldn't work. his debut was great with no music, no talking it was great and then added from there. i fail to see anything bland in him, he gets very good heat hardly bland at all i don't know maybe because he doesn't do cool spots and flippy dippy crap, or talk about people being sycophants idk. I was being nice with the ECW suggestion. He could be fired tomorrow and he would join the prestigious ranks of guys like Chris Masters and Snitsky as another big guy who got fired that nobody gives a f*** about.

"It was a reference to being big.. and she has that "Wow, he's packing!" look on her face, dreamy and all." Yeah, that or... www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRUa_E1CugUAnyhoo, who else would like to see a Popeye-basd stable in WWE? Knox as Bluto, McCool as Olive Oyl... I always thought Benoit looked like Popeye, but, well...

and an attitude shift so that he's not interested in anything but winning. No personal feelings at all, no inclination towards heelish tactics, just beating the other man, and he might get more interesting. Umm, that's exactly what he's been doing. I know right? Like the months of "who vill geeve me chillenge" just didn't happen...

Someone should get him to say 'moose and squirrel.'

Right, except for the fact that the only mid-card heel who gets more heat than Oleg right now is Santino, and he's a joke character.

It was a reference to being big.. and she has that "Wow, he's packing!" look on her face, dreamy and all. No, that's Shelley Duvall playing Olive Oyl in the live action Popeye flick from back in the eighties.. it's a musical, and one of the songs has her referencing Bluto and saying 'He's Large' as one of the lyrics. It's a pretty obscure reference, hence I have to dole out kudos again for it.

Youtube linky about three posts up.
Crash could also have been Popeye.

Kozlov's problem to me is that when he is about to make contact, he pulls back on the move too much as to not hurt the opponent. This kind of makes him look uncoordinated and "fake".
I might be one of the only ones that likes his mic work, kind of like Drago from Rocky IV. What would make him more "over" as a heel would be to speak entirely in Russian, and then in English say "My language is better than your stupid English language."
Instant heat.
