If you never put your established guys over they wont be your established guys for long. Rusev is a midcard good hand. His job is put over the guys that matter till he jobs all his credibility away. He'll go do some comedy. Maybe get repackage. Then fired if/when that doesnt take off.

Yeah, Orton is going to be one of those guys they count on to spruce up WrestleMania and shit, because they don't have anybody. I mean, there is a case to be made for Rusev being more valuable than a mid-card act, but Orton winning makes a lot of sense.

Yep. Makes all the sense in the world to build new stats for the future of the company by constantly feeding them to ME guys so the ME guys can bury them a mile deep.

What was the last feud Randy won? Randy is a bottom of the barrel main eventer. Rusev isn't a main eventer of any type at this point. If Orton loses to Rusev it hurts Orton more than it helps Rusev. Rusev beating Orton would just be another person Orton has lost to. Orton beating Rusev keeps Orton a step above the mid card scene while not hurting Rusev as Rusev isn't a main eventer. Rusev will not become a main eventer by feuding with Orton win or lose.

Your mistake is thinking they have any intention on building Russev up. He is now exactly what they intend him to be.

This is exactly it. Whether it is because they don't like him, don't like that he's banging Lana, don't like his tweets, don't like his haircut, or just feel that Joe is better at that sort of thing than him, they don't want him to be a main event dude for them. Otherwise he would be a main event dude for them. Orton is a main event dude for them. |

Eh, I don't really know where he fits. Honestly, at this point, I'd rather see him and Mahal become a tag team again. At least it gets Mahal out of singles wrestling.

I dunno that not winning the belt hurt Orton any and the causal fan that likes him probably won't think anything of it. Would be nice if Orton ended up costing Mahal the belt as revenge. |

The problem isn't that Jinder cheats, heels are generally supposed to cheat. It's the fact that he's cheated in literally his entire run up the card. He went from being a jobber to randomly having the Singhs help him in the #1 contenders match, and he's never shown he can do it on his own.
I look at Evolution-era Triple H. Dude got help in every damn title match during that run. But if they ran an angle where Evolution was banned from ringside - you at least felt like Triple H could hang with whoever he was facing and possibly win. Because he's won on his own before. If anything it almost added to the heat the announcers tried to put on Triple H. "This bastard is capable of winning on his own but he keeps cheating just to be sure of it!" Jinder on the other hand in no way looked like he could've beaten Orton or any other main eventer solo. |
