I think this would be the perfect feud for Rusev right now. Rowan is more over then Ryback right now and Rowan is actually a good wrestler. I think that Rowan and Rusev would mesh well in a match.
Rowan plays the part of the lovable innocent giant that the fans have sympathy towards while Rusev plays the monster.
I think it would be a good match. Both guys are excellent workers for big guys and it would be a nice way to get Rowan some more TV time. I'm a a big fan of his as of lately.
They've already buried Rowan, as his face turns was just one of Vince's flavor of the month ideas. Vince got bored quick, fed him to Big Show, than took him off TV.
I'm not saying it will be amazing. I just want them to do something with Rowan. I think he has a lot of potential and he is fun to watch. I don't wan him to wander off into obscurity.
Rowan is not more over than Ryback, and he's not good in the ring. Not saying Ryback is much better but at least he brings intensity and hype. Rowan provides nothing, and if he weren't already buried by Big Show, I'd rather this feud happens just so Rusev can squash him. Ryback's obviously about to get shitcanned here because creative doesn't know what to do with him. It's 2013 all over again.

"Rowan is not more over than Ryback, and he's not good in the ring."
Well that is subjective whether he is good in the ring or not. We haven't seen much from him but I already enjoy him a lot more then Ryback. He is solid in the ring whereas Ryback is a liability. Ryback gets tired too quickly and he is not built for long matches. He is also hella boring and his finisher is dog shit.
... and when did this become a Ryback vs Rowan comparison thread? I was just simply saying that I would prefer Rusev to feud with Rowan. Just my opinion but Ryback is absolutely garbage. I get 0 entertainment value from Ryback. He does nothing for me. He is boring, stale and absolute trash in the ring.
Rowan is just floating around doing nothing relevant. Wyatt is in a pointless feud that just won't end and he is boring without his 'followers'. Harper is the only one who is doing ok.
You want the guy with the Japanese sounding music that fans don't pop for, or hardly know, or see as a title contending guy. You want that guy to get the title off the most pushed heel in WWE history since Yokozuna and Kane?
Meanwhile you want them to take a guy like Ryback who's a top seller merch wise, gets crowds chanting with one shoulder shrug, has history in the WWE and a personality. You want that guy not being elevated to win a title just walking around doing nothing?
Yes, actually yes I do. Trust me people will turn on Ryback it's inevitable. Once Ryback gets pushed he is going to get exposed in the ring and people will turn on him.
They let Rusev get over just about every mid and low carder. They even put Rusev over Sheamus which was shocking.
But it looks like WWE will finally give Ryback the needed push.
Putting Ryback over Rusev would work really well. I just wish that WWE had better writers, so we could watch a good storyplot around this feud that would lead up to Ryback getting over.
If I was WWE storyline writer, I would turn Ryback character into a slight shovanist stalker who not only is a threat to Rusev but he's scheming on Lana.
Which would ultimately end in Lana turning on Rusev (kaybafe).
The one thing WWE is screwing up lately is the reality aspect of offline relationships being part of the show. So what Rusev is dating Lana IRL, why can't they act as rivals on TV. Same should apply to Nikki Bella and John Cena, Brie and Daniel Bryan, and Naomi and J. Uso.
To Eric Rowan, he's better off right now interjecting himself into the Rosebuds and feuding with Adam Rose who the WWF writers have written him out of control as of late with him constantly snapping and threating his comrads and beating up that wrestler in the bunny suit. I think Eric Rowan would be better used as someone to interfere in one of Adam Rose's tantrums and just back body drop Rose and plant him flat in the ring.
If they didn't feed Rowan to Big Show. Rowan could've won the fued, undefeated on Road to Wrestlemania and Rowan/Rusev @ 'Mania. Rowan wins the title and breaks Rusevs streak. I would :mark: hard if that happened. Rowan would get the biggets pop especially for defeating an anti-american villain
Rowan has improved in the ring and shows some impressive strength at times. But he was just given some shine to fatten up Big Show again (after Show's feud loss to Rusev) so Show could be fed to Reigns.
