I think you missed my point entirely. I wasn't comparing how over Henning* was in relation to Ryback (and again, while Ryback may have been "massively" over, he wasn't "BE THE MAN IN WWE" over, which I already said). I was stating that both guys were set up to fail from both shitty booking and the WWE big man standard, and when it failed, they both were pointed to for "not being able to connect with fans/not having *it*", and that in comparison with the topic at hand (which is Rusev) being headed in the same direction.

He's going to need feuds and some sort of character depth. I've been out of touch with NXT for quite awhile, and I'm already more excited for Adam Rose sight unseen than I am behind Rusev from what I've seen in the ring. Everyone loves throwing around "vanilla midget" because it's fun to suck off Kevin Nash, but we need to understand that big guys can be pretty damn vanilla too, and a lot of them that have graced Vince's rings have been.

And Alexander Rusev is positioned to be one of those as well. And once again, when his gimmick fails, it will somehow be *his* fault because the fans don't care about his look as much as the company thinks the fans do.
