Wouldn't this just be a badass tag team? Now I know to do it would mean they'd put single careers on hold (no different to now) but I think it would be better that Rhodes Scholars, Tell Hell No etc and may reach Rated RKO levels.

No.

Cesaro's on absolute fire at the moment as a singles wrestler.

Barrett could be on fire, all WWE has to do is occasionally give him the mic. And this theme.


The tag division should be for wrestlers who haven't been able to (yet) prove themselves as singles competitors. Eg Usos, Kidd/Gabriel. When you drop singles wrestlers into the mix these guys unfairly get forgotten and ignored.

lol at Barrett holding Cesaro back. Cesaro's doing decently in the mid-card but he's not setting the world on fire any more than Barrett is, and he's not really advancing anywhere either and shows no signs of doing so. When Cesaro gets a main event run, then we can start talking.

It would be a great team tbh. People are only looking at the wrestling aspect of it, but it works both ways. Let Barrett handle the promos for the most part as he's one of the best mic workers in the company and Cesaro absolutely sucks on the mic, and let Cesaro handle the wrestling for the most as he's an absolute beats in the ring and Barrett's only decent in the ring. We could get the best of both worlds in one tag team.

That being said and while it would be a great tag team, they should remain in their singles roles and Barrett should be pushed up, as he's long over-due at this point. Cesaro they should start with no later than right after WM30 imo (provided he also improves on the mic by that point).

Funny thing is, even if Barrett and Cesaro did form a tag team, it'd probably be done the exact opposite of what I suggested. Knowing WWE, they'd probably have Cesaro take care of the majority of the mic work, and then have Barrett controlling the matches, so maybe it's best they don't form a team.

Cesaro's got a small title that is atm closely linked to his character. He is impressing in the ring, gets flashy powerhouse spots and looks strong even when he's jobbed to the main eventers.

Barrett. Feuds. With. BO. DALLAS. And he LOSES.
If you see no difference there, then I'd suggest to take of your pink goggles

LOL @ Barrett holding Cesaro back. Cesaro's not doing a god damn thing until MITB, 6 months from now, if not later, if he fails to win. And he's not a single bit more over than Barrett is, NOBODY outside the Internet cares about Cesaro. Nobody.
Sorry to disappoint you, but if "outside of the internet" nobody cares for Cesaro, okay, might be true, we're talking about "casuals", but at least they KNOW him, he's the guy with the unamerican american gimmick and that belt.
Barrett is the guy with the strange beard that sometimes gets a filler match.

Face it, your idol is nothing at the moment.

The biggest problem with Barrett is that he hasn't figured out how to turn shit into gold. He doesn't have 'it' in the ring and if he's not handed a good script, he doesn't really produce on the mic either. Barrett can be great on the mic but I can't remember the last time he cut a good promo. Until he figures out how to work the system he'll never stick out.

Cesaro knows how to sell himself MUCH better than Barrett. He's no more over than Barrett at the moment, but you can't question that he's picking up momentum (whether casual fans notice or not) through unique ring work and the way he presents himself.

Barrett is shit in my opinion, couldn't give less of a fuck about him if I tried, and I'm English.

Like I have said before he is boring to look at and listen to since he is so monotone, not very good in the ring, has no character and never does anything meaningful. Didn't even like him in Nexus. The epitome of IDGAF.

I wouldn't book him as a world champ either, I suppose I am an Anglophobe as well :rolleyes:

Cesaro is someone I am looking forward to in the future.

Love him in the ring. Could work on his mic skills, but at least he has a character.

Cesaro needs to stay as far away from Barrett as possible.

I'm digging Cesaro. As soon as they dropped that storyline with akSUCKA he became one of my faves. Barrett i never really cared for. Don't have to explain. it's just meh for me. Cesaro is the man though.

The Bawett Bawage would put a full stop to Cesaros ascension to greatness, so no, no, nooooo.

I don't care about Barrett, I don't think he is special or the outstanding wrestler some people perceive him to be. And obviously WWE doesn't either, so scenario a) this happens and Cesaro gets depushed instantly or b) this happens and they get pushed as a tag team, putting Cesaro in the Daniel Bryan oblivion, problem there is he isn't THAT over yet so his character wouldn't survive this like Bryan's does.

If Cesaro is going to tag with anyone, surely it has to be Ohno.

Having said that, Cesaro is really starting to find his footing. I would hate to see that momentum thrown away just to bolster the tag division.

The Hell No run has helped further establish Bryan, but I don't know if they'd push a heel tag team in the same way. It's done next to nothing for Rhodes Scholars (apart from further highlighting their awesomeness).

At this point even fucking Oasis cannot save Wade :/

I think they would be a great team, but I would really like to see them as singles competitors. If they were to become tag team champions whilst holding both mid card belts then most definitely, I think that it would keep them hot after their current feuds end, but only as champions. I want to see them dominate and I believe they could. They could be Smackdown tweeners and even take out the likes of Ziggler/Show as well as Del Rio.
 
#15 ·
That would be cool. They could form some kind of 'alliance', since they hold both midcard belts. Then they capture the tag team straps, which would show them both as pretty dominant. They could still compete as single competitors mostly, so they don't get hindered by the tag division. But something like that could be pretty sweet.

Maybe Wade should be stuck with Drew instead?

Wouldn't mind them forming a super tag team, AFTER they both make it to the main event. Both guys are badasses, Barrett can do the talking and Cesaro can do the ass kicking. But a tag team now would just confirm they're going nowhere for the time being.
 
#21 ·
No, it would just end up being another Rhodes Scholars in terms of both being held back. Both should stay where they are, and I also feel that both should definitely be elevated to the main event scene one day.

Cesaro's been on a complete roll as United States Champion. He's been putting on wonderful matches, can really 'wow' the crowd hitting his finisher on big guys, and has really propelled himself as a top five ring-worker.

Barrett could be on a complete roll as Intercontinental Champion but he hardly gets any mic time and is currently feuding with a nobody knows & nobody cares.

But no, Barrett shouldn't be in a tag team.

No. Barrett and Cesaro need to be on their. I'm not a fan of throwing together tag teams. If they had put the tag titles on Rhodes/Sandow, that one might have made sense, but they were just filling out the division. They've got the Usos, and PTP, both of whom need to be on TV. But no, they throw together two of the most useless fucks in Tensai and Brodus, both of whom could be good with better gimmicks.

This isn't another one of those threads meant to troll Pyro, is it?

Barrett and Cesaro should stay separate for now, but I can see them teaming up when they become more established.

I mean this as no disrespect towards Barrett but Cesaro is twice the talent that he is. That tag team sounds like a terrible idea. Barret would work well together with a heel Sheamus though, the group team would feel more like an actual team. Cesaro is becoming more and more relevant by the month, I like the build they are giving him and this new America/Anti-American gimmick thing he has going on.
