When the most positive thing you can say about a segment is that at least the pictures put on screen weren’t Photoshopped, you know you had a really bad segment.

Fans made sure to let Rusev and Lana know just how bored they were as they flipped through pictures of Rusev’s family (which apparently really was the Bulgarian Brute’s family). The crowd turned on the segment, booing just about everything and cheering when Roman Reigns finally spared them of the photos.

Rusev would gain the upper hand, which was a good call, but the bit was dying a painful death up until Lana slapped Roman. Real family photos with Rusev proudly talking up his parents. What a villain.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
