Thus far, Rusev has done just that, dispatching of former United States champion Zack Ryder and high-flying luchador Sin Cara in consecutive televised matches. There is a weird, uncomfortable joy that one gets out of watching someone so superior to their opposition that they simply mow them down and move onto the next Superstar and it is that unexplained joy that will ultimately help Rusev get over with the fans and lead to him being one of the top guys in WWE, perhaps sooner than later. It worked for The Giant, for Goldberg for Undertaker and Kane and if executed correctly, it will work for Rusev.
