I really like this guy.
I think they've done a great job slowly building him up as a killer heel, and now thrusting him into the M.E. picture.
I hope they stick with it and don't Umanga him.

Somebody clarifiy something for me. Was Koslov also the guy that was on a year or so back saying "I love double double E" ar ring side all the time and then just vanished?

He was too green to wrestle in the ring at the time which is why he vanished. You can argue that he's too green to be in the ring still, although they are building him up perfectly. As for Umanga-ing him, well that's pretty much the problem with all monster heels. Ever since the days of the territories died out, monster heels couldn't just travel from territory to territory and destroy everyone in their paths. When there are effectively only three WWE territories, when it comes time for you to lose to the babyfaces, your act has gone stale and there's nowhere to go.

Take and Kane have pretty much been the only "monsters" to avoid that, and even they've had problems in the past.

I like watching him wrestle, but I hate his headbutt finisher. I have no problem with headbutts in general, but as a finisher? This guy has an amateur background. He could legitamately tear someone to shreds, and the best they can do for a finisher is a stupid headbutt?
Of course, it could be worse, he could be using an airplane spin, in which case he'd replace Godfather as my most hated wrestler.
Take care,
Jay

Actually I think he's still using his reverse DDT as a finisher, but his headbutt is rapidly becoming a top-level "signature move". Neither one is particularly impressive, but I prefer the headbutt because it emphasizes his "simple but brutal" technique.
Not that it really matters to me any more, since I'm apparently not going to be able to watch SD for a long time. 1500 channels and none of them are MyTV.
EDIT: Aha, found it! DVR set...
