I have nothing but great things to say about Rusev he is just almost perfect all around. The guy can go in the ring even being a bigger guy, he is a great heel and is getting booked again as being unstoppable.
I'm hoping he wins the fued against Roman even thou I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
Do you guys think Rusev could ever be the WWE champion?

Rusev is great, he has the ability to go as far as they're willing to push him.

I'm a fan, and Lana is hot as  . I wouldn't be against him winning the title one day. |

I wasn't the biggest Rusev fan the first time around. He was just another foreigner heel giving a camel clutch. But since him and Lana reunited and he changed up his look a bit, I think he's been killing it. He's been a highlight as far as I'm concerned. Had Rusev been drafted to SD, I think he easily could have been a WWE championship contender within a few months.

Rusev has grown on me to the point where he is one of those guys I look forward to seeing on TV. I could see him continuing to be built up as a serious world champion contender but as a foreign heel character I think the most he would get is a transitional heel champ reign a la Iron Sheik or anti-American Sgt. Slaughter.

I think he's ing fantastic. Seriously. It took him a little while to really grow into his character, but once he hit the John Cena feud, I was all aboard the Rusev train. He's a fantastic heel, knows his character well, looks incredibly believable in the ring, does all the little things right, and can work with just about anyone. He's got the look, the size, and the perfect valet alongside him. I was really upset when they dragged him through the mud in that awful Ziggler angle last year, and even more so when he got shelved in the terrible League of Nations. I've been enjoying the hell out of his work since becoming US Champion again. He's also hilarious in the most heelish of ways. I just wish he'd start wearing the MMA gloves he wore at a pair of house shows I was at in July. He looked like a legitimate bad ass. |

I don't like Rusev or Lana. To me he's just boring. I like Roman better and hope he beats Rufez, yes I called him Rufez. Every time he tries to act like a bad ass screaming or making those funny faces, I just laugh my arse off. The guy is hilarious, I'll give him that.

I've loved his second run as U.S. Champion, he's great in the ring and for some reason I find him naturally funny also.

I have been a fan of Rusev the second I saw him on NXT. I am glad he has evolved significantly since 2013. One thing I love about Rusev is he is very agile for his size. Rusev is hungry. I can see it in his work and since he is really upping his game, the machine would be foolish not to position him as a main eventer. The fact that Lana is his valet puts the icing on the cake.

Rusev has a role. I dont buy into him as a legit main event player. He is a stepping stone for a big time babyface to be stepping up on.

He's definitely grown on me. His run as US Champ has been good so far. That being said, it's going to come to an abrupt halt here pretty quickly at the hands of Superman punch.
I think all of his stuff will Lana, and the flag, and Putin was great. I think his problem was that he had a chance to lose to Jack Swagger, and then take that next step. Instead they kept the title on him too long and then fed him to Cena. At which point it's difficult to dig out of that hole. Even with that, the League of Nations was the worst thing that ever happened to him, even though he was the best part of the group.
Is what it is with him. I think he's great at the upper midcard bubble. He has solid matches. Nothing I think is overly amazing or memorable though. I think he's got a really good niche and him being well rounded is going to keep him around for a long time. I don't really see him ever carrying the ball, but I don't ever see him going anywhere either. That Kane spot is better than 90% of the roster and I can see Rusev being that guy.

I wasn't a fan at first, but he's definitely grown on me of late. I think he's talented and funny and can see him hanging around for years. I don't think he'll ever be the face of the company, but I can see him with one or two Heavyweight title reigns if they need a good transitional champ.

Rusev's the man dude. Keep the belt on him for 7 more years. Put him over Roman. Put him over EVERYBODY

Rusev gets to see Lana naked every day that he wants. He gets to do more than just look at a naked Lana too. Therefore, Rusev gets my respect on so many levels!

I see nothing that makes him different than any other Anti American heel besides Lana.

At first I didn't like him that much. His gut used to flap around, he was boring, and overall seemed like a one note character. His feud with Cena got him over with me.
Even though he lost that entrance at Wrestlemania was great, and his getting mad at Lana for getting cheers was great. Then he started getting booked poorly and I think when they kind of loosened the reigns on him a bit, he used it as an opportunity to show some character.
The whole Ziggler and Summer Rae thing was a dumb feud but Rusev kinda shined in that. I thought he was hilarious. Then when he got the boots and knee pads and let his hair grow a bit longer he looked more like a star.
Now he's one of my favorites on the roster. He's shown he can be badass and funny. Every time he's on TV I wanna yell Machka!!!

He's been one of my favourites over the last couple of years, since he was feuding with Big E and Jack Swagger. Absolutely tremendous, solid, believable wrestler. Great heel, doesn't go for the MOVESET~ pops like some of the other WWE upper card heels do. His selling is superb. Tons of personality. He could, and should, be one of the guys who benefits most from the brand split. He hasn't had much of a feud since... Man, since the terrible Ziggler feud I guess? Very excited for Rusev vs Reigns.

I love Rusev. The way he always stays in character is amazing. His in-ring work is great. His selling is the best in the company. He is a top 2 heel in the company right now. This guy has everything to be a legit world champ one day.
