Another wrestler that's fairly new to WWE fans is Vladimir Kozlov.
But like Kizarny, he may be new to the WWE, but not wrestling.
Or in Vladimir's case, fighting in general.
This guy is trained in freestyle wrestling, rugby, American football, sambo (2005 USA Open Heavyweight Sambo Champion), kickboxing ((USKBA) International Heavyweight Grappling Champion), judo, and MMA.
That translates into tough.
Vladimir was born Oleg Aleksandrovich Prudius on July 4, 1972 in the Ukraine.
He last a long string of victories in the WWE that kinda reminds me of Goldberg's run in the WCW.
Besides wrestling on Smackdown, Vladimir has appeared in several TV shows and movies.
He was in the "Werewolf Women of the SS" trailer (along with Andrew Martin aka Test) by Rob Zombie in Grindhouse, he was in the HBO series The Wire, and he was in Spike Lee's film 25th Hour, as Russian mafia enforcer. He also did some TV and even stage plays in the Ukraine.
This guy is amazingly well rounded.
