Rusev vs. Mark Henry: Rocky IV Storyline Works Well, American Nationalism Never Goes Out of Style [OPINION]

Oh, what's that you say, internet? American Nationalism is dead and gone? Not in the WWE Universe, my friend. Russian caricature Rusev and his advocate, the stunning Lana, are about as complex and three-dimensional as Natasha and Boris. They are the perfect foils for American jingoistic titans Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter, but booking Swagger to lose over and over was not good for his character, so now he gets to squash Bo Dallas. Which is nice. But Mark Henry, a former Olympian, can take the Rocky IV storyline to the bank with Rusev. And fortunately for Triple H and Vince, American Nationalism never goes out of style.
