Is Alexander Rusev the WWE Bulgaria (Russian) version of Samoa Joe?

[dalyricalbandit]

son a Ludvig Borga/Umaga etc clone

 

[jono]

It's a pretty generic gimmick that's been played by numerous people. There's been 3 or 4 other guys who have done similar gimmicks: Ludwig Borga, Vladimir Kozlov, and Umaga. It's just generic "monster heel". This shit ain't going anywhere.

 

[DOPEdweebz]

We're not talking nationality. I'm talking about how he carries himself in the ring and somewhat similar body type even tho Rusev is obviously more muscular.

 

[sobek]

But he'll end up as the next Vladimir kozlov

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

no joe was actually exciting

 

[VIBE]

No.

Joe is a lot more athletic and agile.

Rusev is one-dimensional so far. Simple power moves, weak finisher.

I loved Umaga, hopefully they will get Rusev a bit more better moves and not make him such a squash guy.

Remember, Ryback was like this in the beginning, now he's a goofy dweeb.

Rusev can have potential, but it's more than likely gonna go no where.

 

[Copper]

He's the nigga terminator apparently

 

[genocidecutter]

I like Rusev but, he can't hold a candle to Samoa Joe

 

[mikelewis]

I am not entertained by the squash matches lately, however I can't really judge him on those, not until he gets into something legitimate and entertaining.

Samoa Joe entertains me, and I am not much of a TNA person. I can watch a Samoa Joe match without the urge to change the channel. Outside of Lana, I don't see a point of watching Rusev matches yet.

samoa joe is entertainin' as fuk!

hell even fine ass lana is mo' entertainin' & she barely do a thang

 

[Broddie]

This guy is way more limited than Samoa Joe in his prime.

How long before they finally feed him to Fruity Pebbles? you know it's coming. Another beast derailed by Cenation. Rusev's time is near lmao

Followed by a comedic gimmick where he feuds or teams up with Santino.

Best thing about Rusev is Lana
