You know what I find really amusing. It truly boggles my mind how most of you act. You say this is great and say this should have been done from the get go...but lets be serious. If Koslov would have debuted as this character you guys would have been like "why does the E keep recycling characters, he's just a modern day Sarge, wtf, they can't come up with any new ideas". Its the truth so no need to deny it.
But anyways, this character change seems interesting and could be a good way to not only build up Koslov but also to build up a pretty good face, ie: Evan Bourne as the underdog american trying to conquer the mighty russian. Good thing this is on ECW as it allows all involved to get some much needed in ring work and most importantly some much needed mic work. Good job E!
