Pretty much. There's nothing he can do to ever recover either. The damage is done. He'll always be a WWE geek.

You guys giving up on Rusev just like that? Damn..Peligroso?
He has not been dangerous in years.
Anyway, he looks good.

Hopefully he can prove the doubters wrong like Moxley did once he gets out of the pen.
Do you think he ended up there becuase the booking sucked or Rusev did?Just like that? I sat through three of his big pushes. And they all ended at the same place, Geekville USA.

I've enjoyed his matches and the dude has shown he has a good sense of humor. I don't think his failings are all on him, I would put a lot on WWE failing him.
WWE has no interest in making stars that can then politic for better pay or fuck off elsewhere and help someone else. Their booking is entirely set up to provide a never-ending conveyor belt of geeks that contribute to the overall product's popularity, but never reach the point where they can be considered stars in their own right. The WWE is the star attraction, the wrestlers are just meat to feed the machine.
And I'd say a good half of WWE's roster could go elsewhere and immediately up their profile or reclaim a prior level of popularity. Shawn Spears aside, he's just a geek through and through.
I can't wait until after the women's title match when she runs in and easily murders both of them.
His contract's up in a bit. At the very latest around the same time Harper's and the Hardys' are (before Mania)
I have never wanted Shayna to win next week more than ever now. Because this tweet (and the tweet right before it) comes across as incredibly whiny instead of badass.
The man has been booked like a geek for like what 5 years?You guys giving up on Rusev just like that? Damn..

This is so weird to me.
being a good worker with bad booking in WWE is like being a good football player on a shit team.This is so weird to me.
Why should I care? I know Rusev has value and he's a good worker, the booking isn't all on him. Just becuase WWE lost interest in him doesn't mean he sucks forever now.
Good sport player in bad team means you still watch them kicking ass as individual.being a good worker with bad booking in WWE is like being a good football player on a shit team.
WWE can still turn this around.being a good worker with bad booking in WWE is like being a good football player on a shit team.
Well, I guess since Kylie Rae is through, I guess I'll be pinning all my hopes up on Solo Darling with her sliding into that vacant #1 slot.
Kyliiiieee!
Yeah he usually knows best but after pushing Swirchblade into belts 1 year too early and not putting the belt on Naito vs Okada that last run I see holes in his legacy of stellar planning widening.Gedo knows what's best for me better than I do.
Have faith in the 6 dimensional chess that is Gedo's booking.
WWE can still turn this around.
Rusev has done half the work. New look and a new name.
Give him like a foreign dictator gimmick. President Pelegroso of Rusevia.
WWE would have loved that in the 90s.
Yeah there should be some good ROH shows on there. Just kidding, don't do that.I have $30 of credit on Fite TV. Is there any upcoming events that are worth buying?
GCW has a show on 9/14 ($20)I have $30 of credit on Fite TV. Is there any upcoming events that are worth buying?
I think they could but they've just lost interest unless he gets extremely lucky and someone like Heyman makes him one of their pet projects.It is really cute that you think WWE can turn around on Rusev. Maybe if he stays 10 years more he might get a pity run. If he leaves WWE I would be interested in him.
Yes they will. They use ROH for cheap content for their stations. We'll probably see ROH scale back what arena's they use at some point and maybe spend a little less on talent but that's it.So what exactly is the limit with Sinclair's support and ROH anyway?
ROH are going to be literally drawing actual zero people to their shows soon. This shit is dire.
Are they going to just say "no, thats fine"?
