Chili Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Cesaro was forever fucked when they paired him with Heyman. Never thought he'd ever make get the chance after that. He has had loads too, but I've never invested in it. He's a swiss fella who is strong and awesome but he's not that good a talker. It was death to Vince that, plus he's a proper foreigner to Vince (as in his broken accent). Cesaro is a great worker but it was never going to happen and WWE should lay a lot of blame for it. Feels like they controlled the narrative on Cesaro and it stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fair to say there's a middle ground where he exists between 'utter shite' and 'omg I cant believe he hasn't been world champion!!'. He's a capable wrestler with some great strength and some stuff that is over with crowds. Certainly not to the point where he needs to be pushed to the moon or anything but he's a solid enough hand to have around. If you go back many a moon in the Raw thread, i've been banging this drum for the longest time. I absolutely despise watching Cesaro. He's horrendous. I cringe myself into a coma every time he's on screen. Everything about him is awkward and weird. He looks like exactly the sort of bloke who at a party, even having never met him, he'd slap you a bit too hard on the back and say something like "WATCH THIS BUDDY!" before he uncomfortably lifts a woman in the air for no reason as everyone goes quiet. His suits don't fit. His weird shoulder jiggle is the lamest thing i've ever seen. That awful twat siren. The poxy swing. Just absolute ditch water. I don't think he's done a single thing of note in his entire run. He's absolutely, completely inconsequential. He's got an instagram page about flat white coffee's as well. Just awful. He's like an absurd cross between an uber nerd and an uber hipster. Awful. Edited February 4, 2022 by d-d-d-dAz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also eats cheese on toast with ketchup and mayonnaise on. She’s a psychopath. She’s far more interesting than Raw, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted February 4, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 4, 2022 I saw that Cesaro was having a cry online that he wasn’t in the Royal Rumble. Whatever you think of him as a performer, I find it impossible to feel sorry for him at this point. You’ve been, “misused,” or at least slotted at a certain position for years and years. Your contract comes due, you sign on for another few years, and then moan? What did you expect?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that angle, I’d say anyone that was an easy scrub from a 30 man fucking match should probably be grateful they haven’t been cut already.

I was more curious how his theme music was also his fault. Moxley couldn't scrub a reference to his mate having leukaemia. Doubt Cesaro could get all big man about stuff he isn't in charge of.

The King Of Swing Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Really enjoyed The Bar. On his own Cesaro is pretty dull outside of his giant swing phase which was fun for a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted February 6, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2022 Cesaro was in a perfect spot teaming with Sheamus. A pair of tough, hard hitting heavies. The middle ground is completely gone these days though. Years ago we all had mid card favourites that we didn't expect anything more from. These days so many people think that anybody they think is good, is "getting held down if they don't have a run with the belt". No they aren't, they are just a good mid carder, and what's wrong with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Butternut Squash Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 There's no good mid card that exists anymore is what's wrong with it. Unless you're having a "run with the belt" you're just another chump that aimlessly wins and loses, wrestling the same two minute nothing matches over and over. You either have a belt or you're a nobody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mad to think I used to see Val Venis vs Road Dogg as a "work rate" match, based on Val doing a fisherman's suplex and Roadie's finish being a bit fiddly.

No they aren't, they are just a good mid carder, and what's wrong with that? It seems to have gone from "who could rise out of the midcard?" To "why haven't they been given something above the midcard?" Having guys doing 10 to 15 or even 20 year runs all the time probably doesn't help. I feel like some fans want people like Ziggler and Cesaro to have the belt almost like a "long service" award. It used to feel like for most guys if you hadn't risen ona certain level consistently in the first 5 years you weren't going anywhere and would be out on your arse sooner rather than later.

Guest Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Yeah it’s what else can they do affer midcard4life and it’s only world title left, when what used to happen would be they would fuck off to wcw for a few years and come back fresh. Hopefully aew will see that happening back and forth, keep both sides fresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always…. 15 years ago I used to watch the TV in its entirety. 10 years ago I’d Sky+ it and FF through bits that I knew would be crap or inconsequential. 5 years ago I’d read the report and look up on YouTube anything that sounded vaguely interesting. Today I just read the recaps and look for amusing tropes, and indicators of what the PPV matches will be, and little more.
