- WWE officials are very high on United States Champion Antonio Cesaro. WWE feels they will make a lot of money off Cesaro in the future so expect his push to continue.
Some feel that WWE wanted to do right by Cesaro and that's why they hired his girlfriend Sara Del Rey as a developmental trainer.
As I expected with the influx of former ROH talent in the wwe, management seems to have pulled the stick out their asses with the successes of Bryan and Punk and will now value these indy talents as their crown jewels.
I'm going to need him to get in a plotline before I weigh in on him. He's an excellent wrestler. He looks like Jason Statham - and therefore he gives me the panty tingles. But I want to see him tell a story in the ring.
I'd watch a Barrett/Cesaro feud all day long. Two big, rough Europeans talking on the mic about victory and business being open and it would be glorious.
Sounds good since he's obviously good in the ring. His gimmick of knowing 4+1 languages is pretty silly though. It's just nothing you can build anything on so I hope they give him something better to do on the mic soon.
Well, then I hope they get him a workable gimmick soon. Right now he's really dull and despite everyone talking about how awesome this guy is I see nothing in him. Like I said though this gimmick isn't going anywhere any time soon, so I hope they do something about that soon.
LOL, Aksana is awful and Cesaro becomes a lot more credible now that she's not alongside him. In fact now that she's not managing him anymore I wouldn't be surprised if she gets released since she's really of no use to anyone.
He hasn't really done anything to impress me or grab my attention. He lacks charisma... at least based on what he's been given to do in WWE so far, which is nothing. His mic work is also mediocre, but once again in all fairness to him, he hasn't been given much to work with. His in ring work is pretty good at least.
But nothing stands out about him and the only thing that makes him unique from any other cocky newcomer heel is that he says a word in 5 languages. At the very least, he could start saying a word to insult the crowd every week so he gets some kind of reaction.
Just been watching a few videos on him on youtube, and I gotta say, wow, this guy is awesome in the ring. I had no idea how fun he was to watch, he certainly hasn't demonstrated this in WWE as of yet. They really need to let him do some of the moves he did in the indies, in WWE, he'd get over for sure.
So far, his tenure in WWE has been pretty bland, not bad per-say, just not overly entertaining.
WWE has barely placed a toe in the water, metaphorically speaking, with regards to Cesaro's actual depth as a performer. They've kept most of his matches short and to the point, with the possible exception of that match he had against Zack Ryder at Night of Champions, which was something of a sleeper. They have yet to expand upon his character, either, although I suppose dumping Aksana is a start. He needs a few little tweaks to the character, given a greater chance to be more versatile with it. Since they insist on him being an ex-rugby player, he should badmouth the nearest NFL teams each week and say that there's no honor in American sports, yadda, yadda. At first it would seem like "cheap heat" but he's the perfect character to make it fairly seamless and pointed. Also bring in some actor to play an official of the Rugby League European Federation, who wants to sit down and talk with AJ and Booker T about how it's wrong to have this man in WWE because of his excessively violent tendencies. They've already planted the seed, why not formally introduce Chekhov's gun? Whenever Cesaro gets into a truly heated feud, fans will know in the back of their minds that he can flip and become terribly brutal at any given moment.
I'll admit his gimmick isn't the strongest, but there are far worse in the company to be honest. They should just stop with this Rugby player crap, put knee pads on him, and let him be himself. He hangs around with Punk, which means he must have one hell of a personality, let it shine through.
Show me the match where Mahal squashed someone the caliber of Brodus Clay and your post will be relevant. If you can't then then I'm pretty sure this report is much more credible then the other one.
Well, DUH! Dude was incredible on the Indies, why would he suck now? He's an amazing talent. Just like Dean Ambrose & Chris Hero & Sara Del Rey but they aren't being used for whatever reason. Claudio should be a top star, especially after WWE saw what Punk & American Dragon have done. They should have went after Samoa Joe too but they're stupid. ROH in 2005 was the best wrestling on the planet. It wasn't an accident. Same with Austin Aries, that's why his star still shines bright. But instead they bring in tomato cans like fuckin' Sin Cara cause he might sell some masks. :rollseyes:
In Sin Cara's defense, when he's at home he's not a total failboat. He's an excellent luchador - but that doesn't mean his skill set transfers to the WWE.
