Why and How did this get over, brehs?

What was the genesis?

The singing jobber is over now too or just Rusev?

Is WWE actually pushing him/them?

Lana still has to put on that accent even though the jig has been up for like a year? :jagfan:

I dont really get it

Basically during the random ass feud Rusev had with Orton months ago he had a segment after he beat Orton during a random match, then this happened:

After that it just caught on and Rusev is fully running with it

Rusev defeated Randy Orton in 10 secs (Klandy was distracted)

Rusev celebrates, has a random guy from Bulgaria give him the key to the city and declare that day "Rusev Day". He recruited Aiden English to sing at the event.

Rusev then declared everyday to be "Rusev Day"... and it just caught fire from there.

So it was basically the old boo the foreign heel for being foreign routine, mixed with an annoying singer gimmick, but instead of getting heat, these tried and true carny gimmicks got cheered and got over? :pachaha:

Vince musta been confused as hell in the back :dead:


It failed to get booed because Rusev was always over with the fans due to his charisma and humor :yeshrug: Aiden English is the real story here in terms of going from a jobber with a gimmick that nobody gave a fukk about to being instrumental in getting Rusev Day over.
