Mr. "Double Double E" is back!

[The Nature Girl]

Got this from a report about the RAW house show that happened in San Diego last night:

www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.asp?id=27422&p=1

But she was interrupted by music, as Vladmir Koslov came to the ring. He cut an awful promo, trying to sound like Drago from "Rocky IV." No mention of his alleged past as a mixed martial artist.

Worth noting...his tights, which featured the old Soviet flag symbol on the back. Hey Vlad, 1985 called -- it wants its sickle and hammer back.

Anyway, Koslov took on Super Crazy. Surreal moment -- hearing the entire arena, which less than an hour earlier had chanted "USA" with Duggan, now chanting "Mexico." Super Crazy's new slogan might as well be "I'm Super. I'm Crazy. I'm a Jobber." Koslov destroyed him, but sure didn't look good doing it. Kind of reminds me of Chris Masters, only without the cut. And the Wellness Policy failures.

[The Ichi]

Guess they needed to fill in the worthless musclehead spot whilst Masters is gone.

I love evil Russian gimmicks

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

I hope he's using the music that they designated for him on WWE Music Vol 7. They put his theme on there even though it was never used on TV.... it sounds like evil Russian music.

[royboy8]

Didnt people say the same thing about Mvp at his house shows before his debut? We see how he turned out...

[Back to being Cenanuff]

Should have brought Mike Kruel with him from OVW.

Why do reporters always have to be such smartasses? Just report what you saw. I don't want to hear your opinion (heh?!).

[royboy8]

^ Agreed...quit trying to get yourself over with the iwc by being super smarky and negative and just report the results....

Agreed.

PWI used to have this smarmy jackass doing the Canadian Smackdown reports, actually he may even still be on there but every other thing he said was just a knock on the product, it was understandable in some instances but he did it every single time.

[Reverend BTY]

Did the reporter really have to take a shot at Chris Masters??? I mean really, is it that necessary???

Anyway, if he utters the words "I will break you" or "If he dies he dies" then I'll be a fan for life. Oh god just imagine at Wrestlemania Koslov comes to the ring with Dolph Lundgren as his manager. Who else would mark like a little girl?

[Tyfo]

They should really just bring up Mike Kruel and his whole Team America gimmick with Koslov, Roucka, and whoever else you want to bring with them.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

I'll say this for Koslov, as one of the probably few people to have actually seen him wrestle, he's not THAT bad. He's not great by any standards, but he's more or less your standard hoss. Nothing great, but nothing too horrible, either.

[Ken Ivory]

Ah, WWE rule number 2: If it ain't American, it's evil

[Legion]

Nothing beats an evil soviet gimmick. Ever. Even now, an evil soviet gimmick will work. Everyone hates evil soviets.

[EJS]

Kozlov is basically a Snitsky or a Heidenreich in-ring talentwise. Bad, but not like Rodimer bad.

If he ever gets on TV he'll at least have a somewhat interesting gimmick, which would put him ahead of someone like say, Luther Reigns.
