Rusev’s inclusion here is another one largely by default, with him actually being the only Bulgarian to have competed in the WWE or any major platform. Unlike some others on this list, he’s fortunately a genuinely impressive superstar.
Despite initially being played up as Russian on the main roster, the Bulgarian Brute is now back to pulling on his real roots and origin, championing Bulgaria.
At one point in time, it looked as if Rusev was destined to become a monster main event heel. Then John Cena happened.
Currently stuck in a horrible angle with Summer Rae, Lana and Dolph Ziggler, here’s hoping that Rusev can get himself back on track and do his native Bulgaria proud.
