One of my favorites in the E by far. He's old school in some ways, but still brings a very modern feel to his character. Great in the ring, and surprisingly solid on the stick - probably one of the funniest guys in the WWE, with a natural charisma and fantastic mannerisms. Push him to the moon

I like the guy. His sit down interviews with Cole were fantastic. I like the idea of them letting him talk. Maybe not in a live format, but on a .com video.
I don't really see this version of him being a main event guy or world champion, but for an anti-USA character, he does well for himself.

When I stopped watching in November 2014 he was probably my favorite on the roster. Great gimmick and not bad mic skills for someone with that accent.

Dude is underrated as . One of the best bigger guys I've ever seen. Hell he's probably the best in ring worker I've ever seen when it comes to guys with his build body wise.

He's great. Not entirely sure he will ever be able to be the major heel guy but he can always be a respectable Foley option if crap ever gits the fan with a champ and someone has to step in on short notice.

Rusev is awesome a great performer but now he has to go at with reigns you know they are just trying to get reigns back at the top. and letting him come to americas aid when Rusev is trashing america will make fans cheer him. watch Reigns still needs alot of work in wrestling skills and mic skills and yet people this guy is awesome. Rusez is alot better than reigns just another example of how talent is held back for when Vince gets a hair up is ass and pushes the wrong guy. I wanted to see Kurt Angle come to Americas aid Monday night would be alot better than what we saw.

I love his work. What sets him apart for me is he is like Owens, in that he is able to have a decent match but is aware of his environment. If he the crowd says something he responds to it. If the crowd is losing interest in his match he pulls them back in. He is awesome in the fact that he is an awesome monster heel, that slides in funny stuff with his comebacks and taunts to the crowd.
i said yesterday that Owens or reigns should be the one to beat lesnar, but I would also throw Rusev in that group too. He is young, can probably carry that burden, and he looks like he will be around for a long time. That would also allow him to be the perfect plug and play main eventer upper mid card guy. They could always fall back to he is the one who stopped lesnar said reign of dominance to make him a challenger for years.
Plus he made throwing a fish awesome!

Even with him getting fed to Cena (and now most likely Roman), Rusev continues to be one of the most entertaining acts in the entire company. TONG ING PO

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. Completely agree, I really disliked him in the beginning for those exact reasons. Over time though, the guy has gotten into better shape and they've given him some character other than "that foreign guy you're supposed to hate". I still wish he had some kind of power move as a finisher, dude is huge.

He needs to evolve his character now because he's getting pretty stale in my eyes.

I'm not that big of a fan of him, but they've botched the guy in pretty much every way possible over the course of the last year. First, he's fed to Cena (surprise!), then he was put in that awful, way-too-long feud with Ziggler, then he randomly got back together with Lana, then he was put in a random stable that accomplished nothing as a whole and now he's about to be buried by Roman. On top of all that, I don't understand what his gimmick is supposed to be right now. He spent his entire first few months being pushed as the evil Russian villain who hates America, then randomly just came out and started praising Bulgaria. Now, he's back to his entire anti-USA gimmick since he became the US Champ. I think the guy is decent enough in the ring that he could be a pretty big heel long-term for the company, though, if they had any idea what they were doing with him.

I like Rusev thought he was great with his first run as US Champion the way he ran through everyone made him truly an unstoppable force but they fed him to Cena, they're rebuilding him again, I'm assuming to feed to Reigns, the reason I don't care as much this time round is cause the people he's beaten are people he's beaten before... if Rusev can defeat Reigns then he's recaptured that unstoppable force title. But I do not see that happening.

I'm a fan, and Lana is hot as . I wouldn't be against him winning the title one day. the funny thing is, i always think on how the heck a guy like him can get a woman like her 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. Rusev is so good at being a heel that he made the crowd actually cheer for Roman Reigns. i dont care for neither of them, but i actually wouldnt mind seeing Roman beating Rusev for the title

Rusev is one of the few guys that looks the part and does it good. He's the total package. Probably my favorite younger guy. He'll get his wwe title run and it will be great. Just a matter of time. I notice he seems to slowly be leaning out. Thats going to help him get over even more once he's lean. He'll be a beast.
