How is Rusev doing on the monster predictability scale?

[Nr1Humanoid]

A monster ; check.
Running through opponents; check.
Undefeated streak; check.
Finally faces John Cena; check.
Turned into John Cena's bitch; check.

Part of New Day on WM 32 pre show in his future perhaps.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

I'm just waiting for his first comedy skit to seal his fate.

[thirteen3]

He'll be dancing with Hornswoggle and El Torrito soon.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I think it's "Lose to a secondary top face" that's up next before the fork in the road that determines whether or not it's face comedy or midcard monster from here. I mean, Vladimir Kozlov didn't just go straight to comedy after his big push died. He still had over a year in the midcard before the comedy run with Santino Marella (which was damn awesome at times). Same thing with The Great Khali. And Umaga never got to the comedy phase... although that sadly is likely due to outside issues that affected his tenure altogether.

He won't be a comedy guy by the time WM32 rolls around. It's WM33 I'd be queuing up the canned laughter for.

SOMEBODY CALL RUSEV'S MOMMA!!

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

Honestly, it's kinda pathetic that the sole reason they build up monsters these days seems to be just to feed them to Cena. And god help them if they're foreign, lest Cena go full "'MURICA!" on them. I mean, the kissing of the flag on his wrist, kissing the floor after he won, so f***ing stupid.

[Dean-o]

In 6 months time he'll be dancing on Raw while the commentators yuck it up and shout "He's twerking Maggle!! We're having fun!"

I just hope that in some Russian Wrestling Federation there's a Russian hero that slays the American giant Bobby Baseball, who comes to the ring a in hummer with a bag of McDonalds and a gun holster

Santino and Rusev will be feuding with and losing to Heath Slater and Curtis Axel before the year is done.

I was thinking today, I wonder how Russian folks feel about the "Hero of the Russian Federation" being Bulgarian?

Time for Lana to start being carted out in a potato sack while Rusev tries to hide her from the crowd. Then Goldust and....we'll say Tamina can start fighting them and Lana can go off on her own.....because?

Her getting a face like booking last night was weird. She's been as much of a c*** as Rusev. Why is she the poor mistreated manager girl now? I know it happened a little before, but that was super Mero/Sable vibe. And Marc Mero didn't end well after that.

Hell the original booking was more of Rusev was there to fight and Lana was the one with an axe to grind.

That's how they do it now. No comeuppance, repentance or redemption they just switch sides.

[Blindkarevik]

Vince will remain on the cusp of entertainment by replacing Lana with Yakov Smirnoff, since kids love crazy Russian accents and their feeble, communist, ways. It'll fit nicely with Rusev's jobber status at that time, because "In Democratic America, You Crush Rusev!"

[Just call me D.j.m.]

Due to the fact that we've all been able to predict Rusev's career trajectory from his debut up until this point, maybe WWE will decide to do something different with him rather than have him "having fun" in a few months.

*sigh*

......No, I'm not convincing myself of this, either.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

The thing is...can Lana actually wrestle? Because I have no idea what she does if she spins off of Rusev. It'd be hard as f*** to tie her to another wrestler, since her whole schtick is "Woman who is Russian, and pretty mad besides".

["Mr Wonderdick" Dick Dastardly]

Him and Bull Dempsey will become the new Dynamic Dudes.

Prepare yourself for something along these lines, just a bit more Russian:
