Liked Rusev since I first saw him in NXT. I remember telling my buddy he was going to be a big deal. I'm not sure about being main event though. Bray Wyatt is a guy who could and should one day be main event. He could never replace Undertaker but if handled right he could 'fill that spot' so to speak once Taker has hung up it up for good.

Always liked Rusev. From the little things like noticing he hit one of the turnbuckle pads at Extreme Rules, to how instead of acting like nothing happened like a lot of people do with accidents he completely loses his s#!t when the Russian flag was caught. He always makes the accolade looks like it could break anyone at any moment. Even against Swagger, who unfortunately is a lower card talent. Others sell the ankle lock for the time it's been applied. Rusev sold that sum' bitch the entire match, didn't matter how long it was applied for. My brother-in-law and I were watching that where he sold the ankle lock throughout the match and I remember us talking about how cool that was. I also remember some of the heat he was getting on this site around that time and I'd hoped that those little things would change some minds. |

He seems to be good in the ring but his character is boring and stereotypical. I can't see him advancing mid card.

I didn't like his anti-America gimmick just because it had been done to death, I didn't like his undefeated streak. Just didn't care for him and felt like Lana was the only talent there.
But the guy has just been flat out impressive, and I gotta admit that I was wrong. I find myself rooting for him and really enjoying his stuff now.

I have to agree, this time last year I couldn't stand him but he's one of my favourite things on the show.

I love everything about Rusev.
During his fued with Cena, frustrated Rusev was the best. The way he'd throw little tantrums in the ring was great. He was like a big, oversized baby. They should put a diaper on him and call him Big-Baby Rusev. Lana could be his mommy.

Always loved Rusev. Now he's showing that he deserves a top spot in the company. Reminds me of Big E. When he debuted he had 0 personality, but soon people realized he was hilarious.

Yeah he's definitely improved tenfold, although I still thought he was best paired with Lana. I just can't get too attached to wrestlers in bare feet especially as a World Champion.

Dude is living the dream. He goes out and makes corny jokes for a living and then crushes Lana every night.

I just hope they don't try to make him a santino comedy act. They need to keep him a beast and just let his subtle humor keep him enjoyable.

I went from wondering how the guy even had a job to looking forward to his segments every week. He's great. He's crisp and clean in the ring, plays his role tremendously, and continues to improve.

I just hope Swagger beats him once dammit.
Either way, immediately after dropping Anti America gimmick, I became a fan, he's just hilarious. I'm not a fan of undefeated streaks, especially ones as long as his, but creepy stalker, still in denial Rusev is a million times better than Russian Rusev in my opinion.

i've liked him all along! i feel they've let the character down a bit since wrestlemania though, but he's still doing well and his match with cesaro and owens was pretty great.

I'm still not crazy about him and Lana splitting, but he's been entertaining lately. His match with Owens & Cesaro was amazing and he really won me over.

He's a superstar. I'm hoping we get a bigger payoff down the road to that Rock meeting last year, a match would be cool but just something else too that'd get the crowd and people talking too, something there.
He needs to get into this title picture asap too, have him in there with Seth and John in a triple threat and i think a lot of people would be behind him taking the belt, couple him winning the belt with a Sheamus attempt to steal that Rusev bats away and there's a match and Rusev's star rises again heading towards Rumble and Mania time.

He's been one of the best in the business for about a year now. Awesome talent.

He was pretty funny on RAW and seems to be improving but other than that I've never cared for him.

I LOVE Rusev.
It was clear he was going to be great when he tore the house down with Big E of all people...
