12 Reasons Why Rusev Wins At Life

11. His Story Is Truly Remarkable

Rusev has huge b*lls. Sorry for being so crass, but he does. The Bulgarian Brute left his homeland in his early 20s on his lonesome with the sole goal of making it to WWE. After learning his trade under the tutelage of Rikishi and Gangrel, Rusev began wrestling for New Wave Pro Wrestling in 2008. After a-year-and-a-half working for NWPW, he joined Vendetta Pro Wrestling before signing a developmental deal with WWE. So after leaving Bulgaria on his own, with not a care in the world and his eyes firmly fixated on becoming a professional wrestler, Rusev managed to make it to the promised land of WWE in just over two years of being a pro wrestler. It was a ballsy move that paid off in double-quick time. Would any of you be that courageous in chasing your dream? Picking up your bags and heading to a land far, far away. Having to learn a different language and living the gruelling life a pro wrestler - especially one on the independent scene - has to? I know I wouldn't.
