Russo points out that WWE was so close to making Rusev into a main-eventer. Just a couple of years ago he was riding into WrestleMania on a tank, and now he’s part of a mid-card comedy act. If WWE would have booked Rusev to beat a returning Kurt Angle a couple of years ago, Russo thinks he would have been a main-eventer for the rest of his career. Unfortunately, WWE ruined that.
Moving over to RAW, Hamin feels that WWE totally missed the boat with the “Broken Hardy” character a year ago, and now they’re blowing it again with the Hardy/Wyatt angle. He thinks WWE has struck gold with these two guys, but they’re doing everything in their power to blow it. They’re missing out on Millions of dollars by not being creative with Hardy’s segments, and one day they will regret this according to Hamin.
Richards thinks WWE’s burying this character right away because it wasn’t their creation. He wishes WWE would just let Hardy have creative control in this case where he could film the vignettes on his own throughout the week, and turn it into WWE on Monday for RAW. He feels Hardy would do a much better job with this character on his own than WWE is doing right now.
Russo just thinks these shows are simply terrible, and the most over thing on WWE programming this week was Paige’s cleavage and Mickie James’ thighs.
