10 Terrible Wrestlers Who Perfected AWESOME Moves
5. Vladimir Kozlov's Iron Curtain
No credible conversation about big beefy boys pushed way over their heads in WWE is complete without Vladimir Kozlov's name, as the lumbering Ukrainian was hauled out of developmental entirely too early and once promoted to such a degree that WWE saw him as a credible World Title contender.
The problem for Kozlov was that nobody else did, though his Iron Curtain was a pretty nifty finisher.
Ostensibly a leg-trap Chokeslam or variation on a Uranage, it looked snappy, powerful, and credible. That it was being executed by such a meaty lad certainly helped as well, of course, but being meaty and have a cool signature move or two isn't enough to get by. The guy's imposing presence disappeared the moment the bell rang and a wrestler with two left feet emerged.
