8 Most Underrated Talkers In Wrestling Today
6. Rusev
Poor, poor Rusev.
"End all of this stupid drama"? We can only hope.
As of this writing, The Bulgarian Brute is engulfed in a dumpster fire of a feud involving Lana and Lashley. It sucks, it's a waste of TV time, it's the sort of content that makes you change the channel, and it is a complete and utter waste of Rusev.
Regardless of whatever crap WWE has given Rusev to work with over the years, the former United States Champion has always done his very best to turn chicken sh*t into chicken salad. Even when Rusev has struck gold - à la Rusev Day - WWE has done its best to constantly derail any momentum that this vastly talented performer has created.
In addition to being a good in-ring talent, Rusev is also a majorly underrated talker. A large part of the reason that he's managed to still shine throughout some awful storylines and moments, is down to the fact that the man behind the character is so charismatic, so likeable, and just so comfortable with a microphone in his hand.
If Rusev has done so well despite WWE booking, imagine how far the powerhouse could go if WWE actually got behind him in any meaningful way.
