Rusev was recently a guest on The Jerry Lawler Show podcast. During the podcast, Rusev spoke about the recent wedding between Lana and Bobby Lashley on RAW. Rusev ended up crashing the wedding and attacked Lashley to close the episode.
The wedding segment has been a heavily discussed topic since it happened. The segment has done incredible numbers on Youtube but some fans have criticized it for being “bad television”.
Here is what Rusev had to say about the people who didn’t like the segment (h/t to Sportskeeda for the quotes below):
“There are some people who want to watch three hours of powerbombs. And hey, kudos to you. If that’s what you’re into, go ahead and find what’s for you. We are a broad company and we are entertainment. It’s not about powerbombs, it’s not about arm drags. It’s about entertaining millions and millions of people week in and week out.”
“I want to issue a challenge to the WWE Universe and everybody out there, just in general. When you want to put something negative, go ahead, do it, but follow up with ten positives. It doesn’t have to be about this, but something good, so you can utilise social media not just in a negative way, not just to express frustration, but also positive vibes.”
What did you think of the segment? Let me know in the comment section below.
