WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (May 11)

By Andrew Soucek /

6. Putin Power

I can€™t say that I€™m really offended that Lana and Rusev are fighting for Russia. It€™s just that it bores me. The evil Russian in wrestling is played out, as is the concept of an evil foreigner who hates America. Cesaro just did that gimmick a couple years ago, and it didn€™t work out so well for him. The second thing that annoys me is the geography of the situation. Rusev is billed from Bulgaria, where he was actually born. Lana is also billed from Bulgaria, when she€™s actually from Florida. Fair enough, I can overlook that. But I can€™t overlook the fact that Bulgaria and Russia aren€™t even close! There's a solid 1,000 kilometers apart from each other. You€™d have to go through Romania, Moldova and the Ukraine just to get there. So instead of Rusev fighting for Putin, shouldn€™t he be fighting for Bulgarian president Rosen Plevneliev?
