At the moment the Swiss Superman is the best wrestler in WWE by a mile... he has shown he can connect with the audience he is an innovator, with his strenght he can do impossible things, has the agility of an highflier, has the tecnique ability, has the strenght of a powerhouse, he has DA LOOK, he has a naturally built phisique...
and we are about to get a new, nth John Cena title reign.
And btw...John Cena won't last forever...it seems they don't want to get this... it looks like they don't realize they need new people "who run the place"
That would be an amazing match because Cesaro is one of the few who could actually toss Lesnar around. Not only that, he has a great moveset to bring to a potential match. I wish Vince would open his eyes, because they could have an incredible match together. The Swiss Superman vs The Beast would be one for the ages. Too bad he and Owens cant even wrestle for the US title which should have had a separate title defense at Summerslam.
In no way has he improved on the mic or gotten a personality since Vince called him out on it. He's always been good in the ring, but you need more than that.
Re: Cesaro should be the one to win the WWE WHC at Summerslam
I do not think I agree, and I am a very big fan of Cesaro.
The reason is fairly simple. It takes more to be a main event guy than just wresting ability. Hell, we've always known that Cesaro is an incredible wrestler. That is not new information. He's always put on incredible matches.
When it comes to "connecting to the audience," like you say. There is a difference between truly making the crowd connect with your character/have the audience care whether you win or lose and simply having them pop because you put on a great match or do a great move. Cesaro simply does not fall into the former category. The crowd pops for Cesaro when he puts on great matches and does the swing but that alone will not carry the babyface side of the program. Fans do not seem to truly be invested in whether he wins or loses. They just enjoy his matches. People did not really seem to care that he lost to Cena and people probably wont care too much if Owens goes over him. He's definitely over as a wrestler right now but not as a character. That works just fine in the midcard because the WWE doesnt really value storylines that much in the midcard anyway. However, that will not fly in the main event. At the end of the day, I do not really buy that the audience has truly "connected" with him just because they chant "this is awesome" during his matches and pop for the swing.
The truth is that as good as Cesaro is in the ring, he is just as deficient in the promo and character department. He almost has zero character. He is also simply a really, really poor speaker. It has nothing to do with him being Swiss, he just cant really talk. That is important when you are in a top two or three program.
With all of that said. I would totally be behind a Cesaro main event push if they can put him with a solid babyface mouthpiece manager and then just book him as a silent, badass superhero type babyface that says very little. Because on his own...he is simply not very compelling. He is just an excellent wrestler.
Cesaro should be the one to put over Kevin Owens at Summerslam.
People think everyone in the mid-card should be given the World Title to see what they can do. Some guys like John Morrison, Carlito, Shelton Benjamin, Mr. Perfect, Cody Rhodes, Cesaro, etc are just destined to be good mid-card talent. Nothing wrong with that.
Re: Cesaro should be the one to win the WWE WHC at Summerslam
Would be great! Brock versus Cesaro would be epic. Sadly I don't see this happening, Vince has been giving Cesaro a little leeway and that's because he pretty much called Vince out in his own way and has Cena's backing along with the attention of others. Maybe if HHH was also behind him but we won't get this. It really would be a fantastic match to see.
Re: Cesaro should be the one to win the WWE WHC at Summerslam
Not going to happen. Personally I'm all for it but asking that out of WWE isn't remotely realistic. I'd be happy just to see him in the main event mix going forward.
Re: Cesaro should be the one to win the WWE WHC at Summerslam
Judging by last night's Raw, he isn't capable of carrying the company for the next 4 - 6 months as the champion. He just lacks the energy and mic skills unfortunately.
Wrestling-wise, there's no doubt in anyone's mind that he can be champion, but it is just not the way that the WWE has been structured and booked for the last 20 years.
If Chris Benoit main evented Wrestlemania 90% strictly because of mostly his ring work then why not Cesaro all the guy needs is a character thats it and his golden look at The Real American Schtick it worked he was really over not everyone needs to be at The Rock level on the mic to main event.
He needs Zeb or an actual CARING Heyman. But he has improved on the mic, his delivery isn't good but he's getting there. He needs to sound like he's about to destroy you at any second, because that's how he looks.
Also about that Cesaro/Lesnar match... That could be match of the decade.
Never gonna happen, Cena getting the title is best for business.
