The information from WWE.com
Height: 6 foot 8
Weight: 302 pounds
From: Moscow
Signature Move: The Iron Curtain
WWE Debut: April 4, 2008
The U.S.-Soviet Cold War may be long over, but that doesn’t mean every Moscow export is a warm one – just ask Vladimir Kozlov.
The aggressive Kozlov, a hulking 6-foot-8, 300-pounder, is dangerous both inside and outside of the ring. Trained in several different fighting styles – including Sambo, judo and kickboxing – the Russian Superstar is a brutal, no-nonsense assassin once he steps between the ropes. Kozlov is all business in the ring, punishing opponents with his vicious style and doing so with a sneer on his face.
Prior to coming to WWE, Kozlov was quite successful in his chosen disciplines. He is a former U.S. Open Heavyweight Sambo Champion and U.S. Kickboxing Association International Grappling Champion, as well as a former member of the Ukrainian national football team. He is also featured on Sambo.com.
Kozlov has enjoyed an immensely successful WWE career thus far, and he has only begun to scratch the surface. As a member of the Land of the Extreme as a result of the 2009 WWE Draft, the Russian Superstar was nothing shy of dominant on Syfy.
From Russia, With Love may be a classic film in the 007 series, but it certainly isn’t an adjective one could use to describe the bruiser known as Vladimir Kozlov.
