The concept of "Bulgaria" is too confusing to the WWE Universe.

WWE isn't very good with understanding Europe. Basically, Vince refuses to acknowledge any of the countries that was created after the fall of Communism in the late 1980s. And any other countries that bordered them as well. And also in their world, Spain is Mexico. I'm actually surprised Vince isn't so backwards that he's using Medieval borders for his countries. "SO THIS RUSEV GUY. He's from Bulgaria. That's still part of the Byzantine Empire, right?" "It used to be." "Dammit, where is it, then?! Didn't Basil II just conquer it!?" "Um...things change after a while. Well, that, and Basil's actually been dead for 989 years." You have no idea how much this makes me want backstage segments where Vince is constantly believing things from 500-1000 years ago.

This thread is amazing it starts with a lack of understanding about modern politics but slowly transgresses into a discussion, educated and correct mind you, of historical political events and figures.
Ohh yeah ,Rusev's from Russia now, I guess it'll be easier to stereotype him now.

Russia?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Am I doing it right, Vince? Oh, and that black guy that tried to stop Russia? God, he was so terrible and ineffectual, it makes me think he's not even American! GAWD!

No wonder he looks so pissed off. Here he is, this proud Bulgarian (he has the freakin flag tattooed on his arm)and the first to make it to the WWE and they make him represent Russia.

He just looks so much like Gary Albright. Can't work like him though.

70 percent chance Vince thought he was Russian the whole time, flipped out when he found out he wasn't and ordered the re-write.

He won't be in Russia very long. This time next year, he'll be in his new home, Superstars.

Does this mean from now on he is going to Khrushchev each opponent who stands in his way?

Rusev thinks Ukraine is a road apple.

Let's wait and see where this goes, they may have an elaborate cold war angle all ready to go, plus Rusev clearly dumped Lefort so Lana could fill the sexy spy role.
The ground work has already been laid when you think about it with The Authority showing the negative side of capitalism.

To be fair to WWE, Russia is a pretty big heel right now. It's not just the whole Soviet thing, like, you have Pussy Riot, treatment of gays, invasion of Ukraine, like, it's not like they're having him play a Nazi for Germany or whatever, this is actually slightly topical.
