10 PG-Era WWE Stars You Won’t Recognise Now
1. Vladimir Kozlov
Wow.
Yes, that's formerly dull-as-dishwater WWE star Vladimir Kozlov on the right. As WhatCulture's own Simon Miller said on Twitter, big Koz looks like a background character from GTA who's more likely to send you out to whack an enemy than put you in a headlock.
That suit jacket is spectacular; it's approx 100,000 times more colourful than Vladimir ever was when he was flying solo. It was a different story when WWE finally coaxed some personality out of the man in that tag team with Santino Marella though. If you haven't witnessed that before, then check it out pronto.
Kozlov now has an impressive beard, a sweet ride and a golden bottle of booze. He also has a winning smile, big sunglasses and that jacket. Vince McMahon must be wondering where this character was back in 2008.
