This will add to Russev and Lana's heat and I think that's going to make this even better.

I was hoping they wouldn't change a thing, as I think it's a riot that my five-year-old son runs around the house saying "Poooh-Tin"...... and I was kind of wondering where they were going with all these Vladimir Putin references anyway?
But, this is WWE, a publicly traded company - and Putin is involved in a scandal revolving around the mass murder of 200 people. And, well, you know.... I don't think we'll be hearing any more about "Poooh-Tin" on WWE TV anytime in the near future. You know WWE's policy on murder....
I'm sure there's a WWE memo being drafted "No more Putin references".....

The Rusev angle is not getting over anyway, people don't give a a monkey's uncle for Rusev. Lana should just be a diva by herself. People wouldn't be going ape s**t for Swagger if it wasn't for Rusev, so I consider Rusev actually rather over at the moment. People are crazy for Swagger because they don't want to see Rusev win anything or even be in WWE, they'd be crazy for anyone other than Rusev. If you call that being over, then good luck to you.

According to lordsofpain.net they might.
Similar to the way they did with Muhammad Hassan in 2005.

I don't think either of the are needed in WWE right now. Go back to NXT and let this all blow over. Swagger has a ton more to gain for a mega face push if he goes over Rusev. For Rusev squashing Swagger will be kinda pointless, just another guy squashed and who knows how much longer is character can go if tensions get worse in the real world.

Look what happened with Muhammad Hussan...who knows. I don't see how they're connected. That was legit Terrorists attacking England - the gimmick of Muhammad was basically that of a Terrorist who employed guys in black masks to attack The Undertaker. Where as this is just a proud Russian Woman employing a Bulgarian. I'd say 'no, it won't effect the story-line.'

I guess Swagger will powerbomb Rusev through the stage and we'll never see him again.

Hassan could've been so much better...when he debuted, the gimmick was that he was a proud Middle-Eastern man who is NOT a terrorist, but Americans are stupid and automatically label him as such, and then they go and make him an actual terrorist...stupid, stupid WWE... I'm fine with Rusev and Lana staying and basically being a wrestling Boris and Natasha, but yes, the Putin stuff should probably be thrown out, it's very disrespectful towards the victims and their families, and would probably make for awful publicity if they were to carry on with it.

But Putin didn't attack the Plane. It was Terrorists on the border of the Ukraine, right?

Rusev is awful. Will be completely irrelevant by Mania time.

If it doesn't end now it'll only end when Swagger does weed or Rusev gets overweight.

It seemed to me that they probably edited the Smackdown promo because it was a much shorter segment than usual. I bet they will tone it down a bit until the situation with the shot down plane dies down.

i hope not, What happened was a tragedy but this is television, entertainment. If people get pissed off so be it.

So yeah, Russia plays a big part in it whichever the case... >>> www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/missile-system-in-mh17/1273568.html

Isn't that the point of being a heel? To get the good guy over & to be disliked at the same time? He is doing his job perfectly.

Well after last night's promo, it appears not, and they will ramp it up instead.

There's just one problem with what you just said nobody dislikes Rusev..They don't care about him at all, he gets no reaction. Lana however does her job perfectly.

Don't get me wrong I understand where you are coming from. I just feel like people aren't giving Rusev enough credit. He is stuck with an obviously outdated gimmick and with the help of Lana & rival Swagger, he is making it work. He is VERY talented but for some reason people like to look past his abilities and pay attention to his faults.

If I know WWE logic they won't unless RAW is on UPN
