Booked well, the Lana/Rusev saga could have Liz/Macho potential of awesomeness. After months of heart crushing dispute and shenanigans between the two, Lana is threatened by a vicious heel who want to molest her, then "BOOM" Rusev's music hits and he rushes the ring to save the beauty in peril. Crowd goes nuts, they kiss, instant mega face rusev starts to dance in the ring Minus the dancing, I would mark like a five year old for that.

I'm just going to put it out there.
If everyone danced, dancing wouldn't be considered the kiss of death anymore.

I figure a long feud with Ziggler will probably do it.

Crowd goes nuts, they kiss, instant mega face rusev starts to dance in the ring I immediately pictured Lana decked out like Naomi and Rusev doing the funkasaurus "claws" motion, with no music playing at all. My imagination's weird like that.

Post Cena he'll have a feud no one cares about. Then he'll end up getting called out by Fandango who'll challenge him to a dance off. He'll get face to face and look like he's going to kill him but then start dancing. JBL will tell us how much fun we're all having.

Bump... With all the recent news about the guy, the 3-6 month voters must be feeling confident.
(Although technically he has to be all three before we call time... Doesn't count if he's dancing and he's still heel, nor a comedy babyface that DOESN'T dance)

Right down to JBL telling us we're having fun.

I voted never, always had hopes for this guy, or at least hopes that WWE liked him.
Now? That could be his "punishment". But he'd get insanely over as dancing fat guy and unify ALL the titles. JOKE'S ON YOU VINCE!

He's honestly the "shitty soap opera" version of dancing comedy face right now.

I only became a fan of Rusev after he lost to Cena so I didn't mind that. I don't see him dancing ever but I can see really shitty booking.

To me the beginning of Rusev's downfall isn't him becoming a "dancing comedy face". It's when he's used to put over the NEXT big monster pet project.
Like if he suddenly gets "manhandled like we've never seen before" by a debuting Baron Corbin or Big Cass, that's when we should be worried.

OK, here's my question, why is it that people automatically assume he's gonna be dancing? Really, because it happened to Tensai and Brodus Clay. I can't even recall another big man who came in as a destroyer and ended up dancing. Rikishi was dancing right away. Umaga never danced. Well, it happened to Tensai twice because he started dancing back when he was Albert too. I could definitely see an argument for Khali and Kozlov too. I don't remember Kozlov dancing but he certainly became a goofy character. There's also a history of other serious wrestlers who became dancing jobbers, namely Victoria and Lance Storm. It isn't always dancing, but it's one of creative's favourite angles when they decide to strip someone of their credibility go with a comedy gimmick.
