He won his first match versus The Undertaker via disqualification when Jeff Hardy interfered and attacked Kozlov costing him the match That’s right, Kozlov holds TWO VICTORIES OVER THE DEAD MAN HIMSELF. The victories are roughly a year apart from each other and only one via pin fall.
Kozlov went one-on-one with ‘Taker again on an episode of SmackDown in 2009. Kozlov picked up the victory over him when The Undertaker went for his signature “Old School.” Kozlov knocked him off the ropes and into a power slam picking up the biggest pin fall victory of his career. What makes the match so significant is that no professional wrestler who was a heel had ever pinned The Undertaker without cheating, without interference, until Kozlov!
