MassRafTer posted:Probably the fact he and his manager constantly insult America, it's people and leaders. People really like being told their country sucks and is crumbling and that they are stupid. Major babyface thing, that's just patriotism afterall. Ross is stupid. I mean Lana has never said anything that wasn't true about America.

Miz should just keep adding people every few weeks. Like come out with Layla dressed as him. I want him to come to the ring with a weird collection of like 6 people at some point. I also thought the bunny would turn out to be Fandango. Peanut President posted:RUSEV is Russian John Cena and that makes him a bad guy because apparently it's still 1983. He seems to be getting a ton of heel heat so it's working. The "your country sucks" gimmick has worked well for as long as I can remember.

I'm really enjoying the meta-narrative of the Wyatt Family breakup. Bray keeps talking about how he fixed Luke and Erick, but since then Erick is wandering around backstage stalking a women; and Luke deciding to join the Authority, demonstrating that all he wants is another charismatic leader to guide him.

With Luke, to be fair they've done a lot of stuff in the last year to hint that Wyatt secretly works with the Authority. Then again they've also contradicted a lot of that randomly so it feels more like they change their minds on that relationship week to week.

Fart Radio posted:Anybody thinking that Rusev face/heel thing is ambiguous forgot that he cheapshotted a vet who tried to stop him from tearing down the US flag. A spectator tried to get in the ring with a wrestler. Rusev had no idea if this man was a threat or not (maybe he had weapons on him who knows?) so he rightfully and justifiably kicked him in the face to neutralize a drunk and dangerous individual before things could spiral out of control.

Exactly. Anyone can buy a military uniform and wear it like a phony. Rusev had no idea if this was a trustworthy individual and his first obligation was to protect his fellow co-workers and the fans by kicking him in the face. Which is appropriate, since Rusev is a face.

I'm usually the first to say that WWE heels come off as more sympathetic than the faces a lot of the time, but Rusev's clearly a heel. Being an ultra nationalist who goes far beyond loving your country to the point where you claim that your country is the only decent one and everyplace else sucks along with everyone living there makes you an annoying rear end in a top hat. I felt that way when some American faces did it especially in the wake of 9/11 and it's no different with a foreign heel. Granted, it's more his manager that's guilty of this, but he's shown no signs of being anything other than 100% in agreement with her.

It'll be cool when a year from now everyone in the Rusev is really a babyface camp complains there are no strong heels and they are all chickenshits who run from fights. (Rusev does occasionally back down from fights too, which is part of the reason he isn't a person to be cheered.)

If my mother was a terrible mother I'd feel that Rusev was right and thank him for motivating me by making me realize that I am not a product of my birth but my own experiences and can thus rise above my terrible upbringing. Thank you, Rusev.

We have no way of knowing how much English that Rusev speaks. He probably has no idea what Lana is saying and just repeats the English words she tells him to speak. Rusev is actually the victim here, being manipulated into talking trash about the USA.

Like, I guess they're going for a Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna thing here, but Yoko was a meanspirited dickhead who kept hospitalizing people just because he could, on top of Fuji's "Haha, America sucks" stuff. Rusev doesn't really even do that.
