From @Bennybuckingham: Do you think Rusev will ever be taken seriously as a monster heel again?
I really hope so. He has a lot of talent and he looks very credible in the ring. Every move he does looks crisp, his offense is very believable, he's agile for a guy his size and he keeps improving in the ring too. Plus he's hilarious on Twitter too, which is an added bonus reason as to why he's so great. Taking Lana away from him was probably a mistake. They could have milked that pairing for years rather than just one year. Is she even interesting as a face paired with Dolph Ziggler? Not really. It's something that works for now because of this feud, but once they move on it's going to fizzle out. Rusev is exactly the kind of wrestler that should have a female valet whether it's Lana or Summer Rae. What I'd like to see is for Summer to help him win more. Make her look like a difference maker instead of somebody that just stands in the corner. He should win clean sometimes, but he should also win because of her and that can be a reason for people to hate the guy. It's still early in his career and he's a talented performer, so I'll say yes he'll be a monster heel again.
