When did he go from Russian to Bulgarian? I thought it was for a face turn but that never happened
He was bulgarian, billed from Bulgaria.
Ties with russia were tense.
Lana is kayfabe from russia.
He became the bulgarian brute who went onto be the hero of the russian federation being awarded the golden star.
Breaks up with lana.
Billed from bulgaria.
Dog ziggler
Tmz
Lana heat
Finally the two are back together with lana still being from russia. And considering its no longer the inn thing to do right now the whole putins hero of the russian federation is dropped.

Dude 4141 is better than dubs
So why did he drop Russian hero?
>>1504149
Because he dropped lana.
Blamed his loss on her kicked her to the curb. Not to mention he was billed as now residing in russia during all of his us title reign.
There are two types of universally hated wrestlers. As shitty as it is to say to all the muslims and people from the middle east who are good people if you are a wrestler from the middle east 95% of the time you are a heel and regardless you will get booed.
Closely followed by the russians because wrestling cant let the cole war go
Wrestlers from russia and the middle east ellicit the exact opposite response luchadors and asian wrestlers get.
Watch the cwc. If they have a mask or are asian theyll get cheered.
Both middle eastern wrestlers entered to boos.
Also the zietgiest of when he was the hero of the russian federation, putin was constantly in headlines for over stepping boundaries one way or another.
Now not so much cause now its all about isis.
>>1504158
It's all about isis now? Sami zayn heel turn at battleground
>>1504159
No. Not in wwe.
Idt we will ever see them go down that road again.
I mean a few years back putin was causing a lot of concern. Like everyday it was something different. Ever since all of this isis black lives matter and people claiming that a movie should be watched for the feminist cause.
People are really mother fucking stupid. Thats why its best just to stay simplr a topical
>>1504164
I never hated Russia and lol'd when he dropped Putin behind him. I might be the exception to the rule though
>>1504166
Typically russians are heels.
Also since you talk about wrestling on the internet i would assume like most adults who still watch and talk about it on the internet you tend to actually like the bad guy.
I prefer bad guys over good generally speaking of course.
Also rusev to me has been consistently great since his call up.
My god the rusev lana rae ziggler summer was almost unbearable however he really shined as the only redeeming quality.
I always thought that was fucking stupid how they changed him from Russian to Bulgarian and kind of assumed no one would care or notice. I mean, it is catered to Americans who are the most geographically inept and culturally ignorant people on the planet, but still
