It was Rusev against Mojo and they realized that since Rusev's on the main roster, they had to sacrifice Mojo. They probably didn't want him to get beaten down that bad though. Jeez. That was crazy. Main roster guys lose to NXT guys all the time though.

Well he lost to Ziggler that one time, but just like his nationality and first name, that's been retconned something fierce. And put me down as another one who just doesn't see the issue with Rawley either.

I didn't see the problem with Mojo for a while, but I think I just snapped on seeing one too many of his promos. The gimmick is really one-note in the worst way.
On the other hand, I seem to be the only one not seeing much of a problem with the Ascension beyond bad booking.

I usually fast forward through anything having to do with Mojo (I'm sick of him and his extremely annoying gimmick as well), but from the moment I heard he got Rusev'd, I knew it'd be something I'd absolutely have to watch when I get to watch the show.

Oh yeah, apparently in January there was apparently a report on WON that said WWE officials felt that Mojo could carry the company into the future. My reaction to that is

He was threatening to shove a flagpole up Rusev's pooper. He was justified in demolishing him, it was for his own safety.
The fact that he demolished him so thoroughly, just makes it that much better.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. I thought we'd get the usual "face chases heel off, heel retreats up ramp whilst shouting, face poses, 'MURICA!", then Rusev just booted him in the face.
I kept thinking "Aaaaand now he's going to make his comeback." But he never did! The shot of him locking the Accolade in at the top of the ramp and then Lana standing on Mojo in front of the American flag was hilariously unsubtle.

He's the worst wrestler on the NXT roster by some considerable margin but because he runs to the ring like an imbecile we're supposed to care.
Nope.

Mojo Rawley is a terrible name. I honestly think that's part of the reason people hate him so much.

I don't follow NXT, it was first time i saw Mojo Rawley, and yet I had an immense pleasure watching him getting beaten up like a chump. A 30 seconds promo from Rawley was enough for me to become a Mojo hater for life. I wanted Rusev to kill him some more, and Regal made me laugh with his "I'm happy to be british right now because i would be embarassed to be american" line Also, Lana's booty is hypnotizing.

Sorry, haven't been paying attention. Why do we dislike Mojo? Because he looks like a jobber from WCW Worldwide, has a crap moveset, and is unbearably obnoxious.

Sorry, haven't been paying attention. Why do we dislike Mojo? Because dislikers gonna dislike. In seriousness it's because people think Mojo is the new pet project getting a forced rocket up the ass megapush, even though in reality he hasn't been given much in terms of actual programs, and of course this incident. People are forgetting Bo was once a cheery babyface pet project who's BOloved now.

Bo's an anomaly though, he was able to play up the fans hatred of him into an amazing gimmick and has really flourished as a result. I can't see Mojo doing the same if I'm honest.

I like Mojo ok, but he needs something other than a running butt drop as a finisher. I don't care how much he weighs, or how high his vertical leap is, butt drops are for fat guys.

Mojo Rawley is a terrible name. I honestly think that's part of the reason people hate him so much. All they have to do is say that Mojo is his nickname and his real name is something like Matt Rawley or Mike Rawley or Marc Rawley. Boom, instant name change abilities. Or they can just call him Rawley.

IT was okay. Still skipped it. Lana and Rusev bore me more than Mojo even. I can't get past her not having a cohesive character point.
She walks out, smiles, shows off her ass twice, gets serious and talks about Rusev, giggles while talking about Putin like she's being sarcastic, then tells him to crush people all serious.
Looks aside, she's not helping Rusve at all.

I don't get beat. I STAY BEAT! I actually don't care either way about this guy (haven't watched any of his schtick), but damn if this wasn't exactly word for word what I was going to write in this thread.

and so the plans of Mojo Rawley were thwarted and the day was saved. Thanks to the Power Puff Russians!
