No one hates Russia.  We know it's fake.  The heat Rusev gets is from his actions, not his country of origin.  

However, a lot of the hypocritical crup Cena and the Big Show have said and done has made me cringe.  The flag junk, that idiotic segment with the soldier, it was pretty awful stuff.

In the end, it's just Vince McMahon trying to build a heel the cheap, old-fashioned way.  It's not the 80s anymore, though, and Rusev will never have a fraction of the real heat that the Iron Sheik or Ivan Koloff had.  A lot of Americans actually like Rusev and wanted him to beat Cena.


Exactly. I was rooting for Rusev to dismantle Cena. The video before Cenas entrance was pretty cheap. Seemed like most of the fans at the Mania saw through it too. There was a lot of anti Cena sentiment at the Mania and at Raw the next night. But the undefeated streak had to go sooner or later so the Mania was a good way to lose it. I just wish it didn't have to be Cena.

Nice to hear it is just a part of show for you!
Totally understand it from wrestling logic, I agree. USA title on Wrestlemania... It had to be in Cena's hands, sadly... 

One more thing... The Rock segment... Is it Ok speaking like he does? 'cause for some of his phrases to Stephanie (yeah, I understand, in wrestling logic she and HHH are bad guys there), his mic should be put in his ass...

Oh, trust me, a lot of it truly is russia hate.  What has Rusev really done to elicit heat other than the typical nationalist "Russia is the best, america sucks" Routine?  thats the crux of his character.  

And to be honest, why not hate russia?  that's one messed up, backwards, gay-hating, crime-ridden country.  I'd never be caught dead there.

So Daniel Bryan revealed that he pitched a match between him and Nakamura to the WWE but was turned down, sadly.  This is Nakamura's response.

anytime,anywhere I say " " :)

A real shame, too, as it would have been better than anything the WWE is capable of internally.

Don't know why they would turn it down other than it would make the IC title look more awesome.

Well, AJ Quit. Franjly I'm surprised she lasted as long as she did. I'm fairly certain her relation to CM punk is to blame.

What?! AJ is gone? This is pretty heartbreaking news. I wonder what happens next. Maybe another promotion? Hope CM Punk becomes champ at UFC?

Highly doubt that will happen. CM being a champ in UFC.

AJ leaving with her health, at the height of her career? Good on her. She has done EVERYTHING in the WWE that there is to do for a "Diva".

Would be funny if they one day brought by women title. (Lets say within the year....because WOOO!)

This might seem odd, but did you guys notice a bunch of Nintendo related signs at Wrestlemania and at Raw the night after? I saw a Boo sign, and a Waluigi sign and some other signs. It was pretty strange.
