I love this feud. I don't care how simple & "outdated" it is. It's doing wonders for everyone involved. Swagger could end up being a HUGE star if the WWE plays this right. Also as long as Swagger doesn't up again.

Swagger is really lucky to have Zeb. Best reactions he's been getting out of his whole career.
Still not a big Rusev fan, and I wish Swagger could pull off the win this Sunday, but sadly don't see it happening.

His whole character is based on the US being beneath him and crushing everyone. If he just loses then the whole purpose of the character is gone. Unless they go the "Russian sympathizer" route at the PPV and someone costs Swagger the match.

I was just hoping Swagger would win because I like him more. ha But yeah, WWE seems like they are willing to invest more time in Rusev than Swagger. Swagger is just another stepping stone for him. But if they continue this as a series of matches than I would like to see Swagger win at least one somehow. It's a solid feud, they should roll with it.

Also as long as Swagger doesn't up again. I think it's short-lived for Swagger. At the PPV... Rusev crush. And then I think Swagger's momentum is gone.

I don't think it's an out dated feud. Everyone hates America, Americans love America and hates everyone. Perfect.

Swagger and Rusev seem to be the only two on the roster getting genuine reactions. Must be doing something right.

This feud's awesome. And like stated before. I don't care how "outdated" it is. It's really entertaining and could make Swagger a star if booked and done right.

Im thinking we may see some type of cheap finish with Rusev winning and the feud continues on.

USA vs The World will always be a great feud. I dont see how people can be like "Oh its outdated" or "Oh its boring"...I hope you dont watch the Olympics, World Cup, World Baseball Classic or any other sporting event that contests countries against each other.

If there is going to be one constant firever and for always it's going to be Americans hate Russians and wrestling fans will always buy into it. Exactly it never gets old

I understand it's not JCP with Nikita and Ivan Koloff against Dusty Rhodes and Magnum TA, or even Jim Duggan against Boris Zhukov; it's just updated for 2014 and that's not necessarily a bad thing...
...plus...Lana.

I've been enjoying this thoroughly, but I'm afraid they've booked themselves into a corner come Sunday. Everyone and their mothers can see they have absolutely no purpose for Rusev after his first loss--be it against Cena, Swagger, the Patriot, etc.--once he loses, his entire gimmick of "America is beneath me" is crushed (pun probably intended) and he goes to fighting jobbers. If Swagger loses his momentum plummets, and unless he gets a win over Rusev soon after he falls into face midcard hell. It'd be pointless to give away Rusev's first loss on free TV; it should be saved for a PPV. Hopefully, we see either a no-contest or a tough Rusev win, culminating with Swagger continuing the feud and winning at Summerslam.

problem isn't the feud, the problem is Rusev just sucks. im glad to see everyone getting behind Swagger though, I hope it continues AFTER the feud, where Swagger ends up the overall victor here. if this is all just a build to keep Rusev undefeated i'm gonna be pissed Get ready to be pissed, Rusev was getting little to no reaction prior to this and now he is going to ride Swagger's momentum to a victory and some heel heat. Except that his heat is going to come from him sucking and not from being a heel.
