#4 Hope isn't true: Vince McMahon's reaction to fan backlash of the Lana-Rusev-Lashley storyline
It's no secret that the Lana-Rusev-Bobby Lashley love triangle storyline is the most controversial one in WWE today. It's gotten so much heat that even Corey Graves on the After The Bell podcast (the official WWE podcast, might we add), slammed the storyline and openly admitted his disdain for the entire angle, hoping for it to end.
Since it's gotten mostly negative reactions, the buzzword that WWE has used is that it's "polarizing", with Renee Young on WWE Backstage being the only one on the panel to admit she likes the drama. Paige, on the other hand, was also vocally against it.
Vince McMahon is listening and reading all the negative reactions, according to Wrestlingnews.co. The website stated that McMahon is allegedly getting a "kick" out of all the backlash and feels it's helping Bobby Lashley garner a lot of heel heat. The report also stated that Rusev is expected to get the right payoff at the end of it all and that the feud is expected to continue for another two months atleast.
We hope this isn't true because the reaction seems quite surprising and almost as though the audience's reaction is falling on deaf ears.
