#8 Vladimir Kozlov
Trending
Back in 2008 Vladimir Kozlov was on the brink of breaking through as a top star for the WWE. He had the look, demeanour and wrestling skills to make it big.

Apparently, Vince McMahon was thoroughly impressed by Kozlov and planned to have the Ukrainian powerhouse involved in high-profile future feuds with Triple H and John Cena. However, fan reaction to the Superstar’s gimmick didn’t quite match management’s expectations, which was why Kozlov’s push was stalled.
The man who was initially portrayed as a monster heel, slid down the card, gradually being paired with Santino Marella in a Tag Team which provided nothing more than comic relief, before his departure from the company.
Vladimir is yet another example of a wrestler who could’ve been a top draw for the WWE if only the fans would’ve warmed up to his character.
