Fall of Rusev and Lana

By Scott Keith on 3 July 2015


Hi Scott,

Great article on creative's destruction of the great Lana and Rusev act.

All the best,
Oh yeah, I HATE what this feud is doing to everyone involved. Poor Rusev has to travel on the road with a broken foot, too, in support of this abomination. For a while there might have been an interesting dynamic if Lana had used her boob powers to make Ziggler into a Russian sympathizer or something different like that, but having to buy these two as an onscreen couple is even stretching the bounds of believability for a show where Nikki Bella is supposed to be a dominant champion. Does any human being who actually watches the show buy that DOLPH ZIGGLER, who even in storyline has always been portrayed as a shameless poonhound, would suddenly be a virtuous white knight for Lana? It's completely ridiculous and out of character for everyone involved. And yeah, it's killing Lana as a character, like, completely. They had the moment to turn her and make a big star, and they blew it, and now it's gone, probably forever.
