(Here comes the same argument about Rollins that you refused to understand after it was explained to you like 5 times...)

Facing Cena (Or Taker. Or Lesnar. Or The Rock...) and losing a competitive match to him is great. It makes it seem like you're at least capable of possibly beating the top guy. You can still stay credible. You should be fine with that. When you have the same match with the same outcome repeatedly afterward, any thought that you could still be the better man is gone. That's bad. THAT'S the problem. Get it now?


Exactly. Not only did he lose to Cena, he lost two more times, consecutively.

It is a foundation of the business that "both guys get over" regardless of the W/L - Rusev did NOT get over with his feud with Cena, and at present is bordering on "comedy act" with the whole TV champion schtick.

I still feel that he and Swagger could have had a really hot feud that could have went somewhere for BOTH guys.
