Birthplace: Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, USSR

Born in what was then known as the USSR, Alex Koslov is of Moldovan descent. He’s also the greatest pro wrestler to ever come out of Moldova.

Again, Koslov’s inclusion here is almost by default, although he is a talented performer nonetheless.

Despite never making it out of WWE developmental, Koslov has had some success in other notable companies like New Japan, Ring of Honor, CMLL, AAA and TNA.
