Rusev original main roster plans

[Kidd Dibiase]

According to “Shocking Wrestling Plans You Won’t Believe Almost Happened”, a new book from WhatCulture.com, former WWE creative team member Kevin Eck revealed that several WWE writers originally pitched some ideas for Rusev to be a comedy act when he debuted on the main roster.

Several members of the main WWE creative team were reportedly shown some clips of Rusev in WWE NXT and they would start bursting out in laughter. WWE’s creative team then began coming up with pitches for him as a comedy act. Eck claims Triple H always saw Rusev as more of a dominant heel, which forced the creative team to drop their ideas for him being a comedy act.

Eck said, “We started coming up with pitches for him as a comedy act, but we were told that Triple H envisioned Rusev as a monster heel so we had better forget about the character being played for laughs.”

He can do both.

All this tells me is that Trips needs to take over sooner than later.

Rusev is naturally funny. He's a clown on social media. It's where the whole "Rusev Day" thing came from

All this tells me is that Trips needs to take over sooner than later.

All that means is that Cripple H is letting Bliss and Charlotte reign supreme while keeping Sasha and Bayley in a tied up 6 month chase your tail feud.

He was not displaying any sort of comedy in NXT...if anything it was his attire that was laughable.

Back then i definitely wouldn't have wanted to see another comedy act seeing how WWE idea of comedy sucks

He’s lucky he avoided the “comedy” death trap, but Rusev’s entire evil dominant foreign heel character when he debuted was a mess that only worked at all because of him (and early Lana) being so committed to it and having the charisma to make people care, no matter what he’s doing.

He’s one of the very few they've got with any genuine it factor, any type of potential to crossover, and they stay doing the absolute least with him.
