Why Rusev Was Reportedly Switched In And Out Of Casket Match With Undertaker​

Rusev was a part of the Greatest Royal Rumble in a Casket Match vs The Undertaker and everyone was excited to celebrate Rusev Day in the Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia. But all of a sudden, Rusev was pulled from the match and replaced by Chris Jericho. Then only a few days later, Rusev was put back in the match to face The Undertaker.

It was actually odd because I had spoken to Jericho hours before the second change was announced and he sounded very excited about what was coming up on April 27th and even called himself the King Of The Casket Match in the process.

Brad Shepard from Bodyslam.net recently reported that the TMZ video we thought caused so many problems for Rusev might have actually been to blame for this in the end.

But apparently, once people figured out that The Undertaker wasn’t offended the decision was made for the Lion Of Bulgaria to be put in the match once again.

“A source in WWE told me that somebody in the office was definitely rubbed the wrong way by the initial comments Rusev made to TMZ (where he referenced Undertaker as being old). WWE is very sensitive to the potential of offending old timers they realized Undertaker wasn’t offended. They put Rusev back in the match.”

Only time will tell if WWE changes their match up again before the Greatest Royal Rumble rolls around but at this time they’re airing pretty flashy promo packages for the Casket Match so they might need to be absolutely certain about it at this point.

The fact that WWE is changing up plans like this could signify how they view this big show in the end because it’s still a massive undertaking and the start of a profitable partnership between WWE and Saudi Arabia, but the card might not be set in stone. Let’s just hope Chris Jericho’s removal from the Casket Match doesn’t mean he’ll be missing Saudi Arabia altogether and it only means that Rusev isn’t in the Dead Man’s doghouse.

Well, RSR is absolutely correct. Dave and I used to talk about this often back in the early 2000s and he said the it was hard to justify 5 stars in the WWF when NJPW and AJPW were putting on in ring classics on a monthly basis and when compared to the WWF matches, they just couldn't compete. Meltzer loved the realism of the Japanese matches and the dangerous suplexes especially back in the 90s.

Back then, I didn't have the understanding of wrestling like I do now and since then, we've had numerous emails about the his star rating systems. I have not talked with Meltzer over the phone in about 6 years but we still do email each other from time to time and he admits his wrestling preference has changed over the years and he's come to like more athletic wrestlers and something we've disagreed on quite a bit. We exchanged a few emails early last year in May and he talked about his love for Ricochet and just this February in our last exchanges, he talked about Will Osprey being his one of his favorite wrestlers next to Omega and Okada. Times changed and old Dave has changed alot as well and I feel the WWF/E matches have been underrated by Meltzer because they are far more story and psychology driven where puro matches are more driven by moveset and workrate. I said a movie critic should be watching movies and critiquing each movie on its own merit and not based on comparing it with another which is what Dave admits to doing. We ended our last email exchanges with Dave and I agreeing that we had difference preferences by using movie analogies; I said

"Dave, by the way you are rating these matches, you would rate something like a John Wick, which is a fantastic action flick with an ok story line and character arc, higher than a Gladiator," and Dave's response was

"....but you are right, I suppose. While Gladiator is an epic movie I admit it gets a little slow at times; John Wick 1 was well paced, great action, modern yet had an old-school grittiness to it. I wouldn't necessary say John Wick is better, well, I guess I'm saying I am if I had to rate it although I do think Gladiator is a spectaculary well made film as well..."

With that said, there are only 5 WWE matches (as of 2015 and I have not cared to look up any more) that have been given 5 stars by Meltzer and Bret Hart is in 2 of them. 40% of the 5 star WWE matches involve Bret Hart and I think that's saying alot.

Big Jacked Buddy is probably in better conditioning than 98% of the population and Alexa went and found the 2% that will give the man a complex. That’s dirty
