5 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 16th)

6. Worst. Accent. Ever.

Until Booker T and JBL opened their mouths, this was headed for #2 on the list. Whoever WWE hired to play Rusev€™s attorney had quite possible the worst Russian accent in the history of television. It was beyond brutal and just killed the segment. Thankfully, Booker and Bradshaw took it upon themselves to just rip the guy, calling the entire episode a charade. Booker theorized that the was from Texas, while JBL asked where Rusev found him, the Des Moines (Iowa) community theater. Booker added that Bobby €œThe Brain€ Heenan pulled the same stunt with a fake attorney before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvs2CF0AWtg The problem with all of this is that it was never revealed to the live audience (or the fans at home, though they at least heard the plausible theory) that the attorney was a ruse. It still was excruciating to watch, just more of an enjoyable trainwreck. Still, it definitely detracted from the seriousness of the John Cena/Rusev feud.
