Rusev is a face?

And American apparently.

I mean, he did get his US citizenship just this week.

Welcome to the 2k post club. Enjoy your stay.

Because it is coming up, so they gotta start the build to it.

Yes, but it's a glorified house show. No one cares about it.

Any other week it wouldn't really matter, but this is the "season premiere" of Raw. It should all about the new guys and the current product. This is the perfect opportunity to bring back old fans and get them excited about the product and ready to watch every week.

You do realize the new guys are what drove the fans off in the first place right?

Maybe, but how does bringing back older guys to drunkenly promote a meaningless event in Saudi Arabia help?

More people care about those two drunken old guys than they do about the smarkbait bullshit you want to see. Characters are what fans crave, not “good matches”, and the full time roster is severely lacking in characters.

Luke Gallows may be the least inspiring wrestler today.

I definitely agree with you. In-ring ability doesn't do much for me. I'm 100% more interested in characters.

However they have to create new stars. Bringing back older guys might get a rating, but it's a short-term solution to a long-term problem. Hogan and Flair aren't going to be around forever, so they can't keep relying on them.

There is no coming back from being a fat 40 year old legit retard as a 24 year old. Not even Japan could wash that stink away.
