With th eboing of Kozlov, the fans boo'd him on the very first RAW he appeared on because he was a foreigner, not because he was an MMA guy. Yeah, we were booing him before they really even said who he was.

First off these are the pro wrestlers that would have done ok in MMA in their primes. Farmer Burns Frank Gotch Ed Lewis Harley Race Bob Backland Charlie Hass Sheldon B Brock lesner Kurt Angle and pretty much any other wrestler that has competed on a high collegent or Olympic level. I did not bother listing guys who actually have a background in MMA. I'd add Lou Thesz to that list.

I think Vince doesn't hate MMA as much as he considers it competition. He tried taking Mike Goldberg away, having a 3 hour RAW special on the same night as a UFC Ultimate Fight Night, and maybe having his wrestlers taking cheap shots at some talent(Tomko imitating the Iceman Chuck Liddel.). I just think he doesn't want wrestling to go the way of beta-MAx to the MMA's VCR.

Vince McMahon may very well hate Mixed Martial Arts... But he hates foreigners even more! So either way Oleg (Vladamir Koslov) is a guaranteed Heel! Believe me folks, we people from outside the Good Ol' U.S of A aren't really that bad! At least Outback Jack was a foreigner who was a babyface
