Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'd say the plan is crush all in his way, lose to Cena, than become a lower card comedy face. It's the monster's way in WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2014 They're clearly taking their time to build him up for one of the big boys. Given the cartoon nature of Rusev, you would think he's the perfect foil for John Cena. Essentially Cena v Putin. They've done a great job so far, as it's clearly getting over with the crowds. Past that I don't really care so much, as I've got exactly what I want. Â No doubt, if the Rusev act is still over (and WWE are still interested) post-Cena losses, then they can continue it for a bit longer before he turns on Lana and Putin.

Sphinx Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 He could go after the US title to make a statement. I think that'd be a good way to go, but project it so that he takes that belt and then has his focus on the WWE title shortly after to keep momentum going so he doesn't become just another midcard guy.

Loki Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It just seems a bit short-sighted. I think be could be more than just 2014 Ryback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted June 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2014 It was my suspicion before Bryan lost the title that Rusev's opponent in a theoretical match at MITB and/or Battleground would have been his last before Cena. That would have made the core SummerSlam card, for me ;  Daniel Bryan VS Brock Lesnar Roman Reigns VS Triple H John Cena VS Rusev Dean Ambrose VS Seth Rollins  You would have looked forward to that, yeah?

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2014 Decent show. Lana (and Rusev) was definitely the star again. I thought Big E.'s promo was going quite well until he went all Boogeyman. Matches between them will still be good though. Big E. could do great if he's positioned as the stepping stone to Cena. He has a great promo voice. They just need to leave out the gimmick. Â Is running a repeat of the Smackdown main event an admission that no-one watches Smackdown or have they just really run out of ideas? Â Liked the way both matches were extended to 8-men. Should have made more of Kane being in to aid Orton though I thought. Â Steph was brilliant. And what a trouper to show that much arse. If only for someone who might actually benefit.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2014 Stephanie is easily the best non-wrestler in the game at the moment. As much as people say "Heyman!" I ask you who Heyman's actually putting over? Steph's doing a great job, showing plenty of arose too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Liked the way both matches were extended to 8-men. Should have made more of Kane being in to aid Orton though I thought. The Money in the Bank Ladder match for the contract only has seven men. Â What other matches do we think will be added to the show? There are only 4 matches at the moment, surely they will add a couple more. Goldust/Rhodes vs. Ryback/Axel again? Rusev vs. Big E?

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2014 As much as people say "Heyman!" I ask you who Heyman's actually putting over? Â Cesaro and Brock Lesnar, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't really counting when Trips was announcing them. Don't remember them saying there was a spot left. Silly me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Lesnar's off TV and he's done fuck all for Cesaro really. If anything Cesaro's gone backwards since his association with Hey man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Stephanie has only really put over Vickie though and she's leaving the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum1993 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The only other one was Bryan's Bella wife with the slap but she hasn't been on TV since. She hasn't really given Bryan much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I reckon that's up for debate. But even if you said just those two it's two more people on TV she made look good than any other non wrestling character has these past monthsr. I'm not even sure what the point you're debating is to be honest. That she's made less people look good than other non wrestlers? She's certainly done a lot more to get over wrestlers or programmes than Heyman as of late, and so she should get the credit for it despite Heyman getting that credit from several corners online. That's clear as day. Edited June 24, 2014 by PowerButchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
