10 WWE Stars Destined To Be Remembered For One Storyline

10. Vladimir Koslov

Vladimir Koslov’s career path saw him go from next big thing to comedy tag team seemingly overnight.

Coming into WWE, he went on an unbeaten run that saw him demolish underrated talents like Jimmy Wang Yang and Colin Delaney before he started demanding a tougher fight. He got that by attacking Triple H and Jeff Hardy who were involved in a feud over the WWE Championship at the time.

Koslov would earn a shot in a triple-threat with those men when he beat Undertaker via disqualification. It was to be a short-lived foray into the main event, though, and he lost after Jeff Hardy was removed from the match due to a kayfabe injury and Edge joined in instead. From there on all signs pointed downhill.

The feuds he was put in got smaller and smaller, and all stations led to Santino Marella.

For a few months, Vladimir Koslov flirted with greatness, and he was even the opponent that Shawn Michaels defeated to set up his first match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania. However, it was never meant to last. Feuding with Triple H and Jeff Hardy would ultimately prove to be the defining moment of his WWE career, at least as a serious singles star.
