#3 First Bulgarian Wrestler to sign with WWE
Rusev is the very first Bulgarian Superstar to sign with the WWE. It's unclear if more will sign down the road, but for now, Rusev is the only one. Rusev's real name is Miroslav Barnyashev and he was born on Christmas in 1985 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
He first came to the United States in 2007 and has done well for himself since then. Rusev did a lot of rowing and powerlifting when he was young. The powerlifting has stuck around it seems! There you go, these are a few things you didn't know about Rusev.
