I feel weird being in the position of defending Vince McMahon, of all people, but I really think this prevailing theory that Rusev has been repeatedly buried because Vince resents him for marrying Lana is rubbish. Now, make no mistake, I can easily imagine that a guy as obsessed with being an alpha male as Vince obviously is probably looks at the two of them and thinks “What does she see in him?” But no, Rusev Day is not being ignored and deleted because of that. I think Rusev has just found himself in WWE doldrums due to a series of events that did not work in his favor. First and foremost, the thing Vince did resent and that resulted in the initial burial was when Rusev and Lana upended the love triangle story with Ziggler. Vince os obviously a control freak who doesn’t like when things don’t go as planned, and that totally disrupted the plan. So Rusev was buried as a punishment. Further, Rusev Day, as over as it is, is also not part of the plan. Much like with Zack Ryder, its not exactly about punishing th guy for getting over on his own effort-its about him being over being a distraction from what Vince WANTS to see happen, and we simply can’t have that. So Rusev Day has to be pushed out of the audience’s eye somehow so they can focus on what they are supposed to be focused on, dammit! And plus I think Vince no longer seems Rusev as cool. Let us not forget the monster push he got out the gate-because he looked and acted the part of an unstoppable badass who could yank your arm off. Vince’s kind of guy! The problem is that during that Ziggler program, on top of overturning it, even if unintentionally, Rusev also dared to be *gasp* funny! He dared to show his light hearted, goofball side. “You’re supposed to be a badass dammit, badasses don’t throw fish!” As a result Vince’s perception of him changed and has never been the same. And finally, I think Rusev is also falling victims to the CM Punk/Daniel Bryan effect where because he is that incredibly good as a performer, Vine thinks he can rebuild him at any time he want and therefore feels no need to give him a sustained push until such as time as it is needed-and that will be when he needs a credible threat for a preferred star to squash. All that said. Yes Lana is hot and Vince probably does have one on for her-who the heck doesn’t? Is Vince even able to Lust anymore, I thought she had caught up with him 🤷♂️

There is also the fact that during that one conference call a reporter asked Vince to comment on the Q4 earnings and Vince's response was "I want to f*** Lana" That isn’t true......is it?

Vince lusts after Stephanie and HBK. I refuse to believe anything else. -1990s Gary Strydom. -Trish Stratus (when bleached blonde). I'd add those two.

Lana is the hottest thing on two legs, of course Vince lusts after her.

Well Vince does consider blondes the epitome of beauty and the look of the ideal american woman. There is exceptions but Blondes always seem to succeed more in WWE

I don't know if there's any validity to that, per se, but I do kind of buy him trying to ruin things for them with the whole Ziggler/Summer mess of a storyline.

I think that whole shitty angle was when the Dolph negativity on here really started picking up. Not saying he didn't have his detractors before, because I know we're not a hivemind, it's just when I started noticing it.

Plot twist: Vince hates Lana because he actually wants to f*** Rusev. To be honest, considering how handsome Rusev is, can't blame him.

I'll second the CM Punk/Daniel Bryan effect. Vince is Vince, he would rather make one dollar off of a shove down our throat Roman than ten dollars off an over Rusev. The CM Punk/Daniel Bryan effect. Oh, is that the one where they become two of the biggest stars in company history? Got it. Also, all the posts asking if Vince really said “I want to f*** Lana” on a conference call.... Yikes people.

Actually, I believe this.
Come on, Vince went out on record stating that guys like Rusev should never marry gals like Lana. He probably thinks Rusev is a big gorilla or something.
It seems silly to argue that, but when a guy gets over and they immediately try to cut off his legs proverbially, that's clearly Vince entering a late 90s WCW mindset.

I don't really believe it myself. If Vince actually said that in a conference call with shareholders I think we would have heard about it already.
