Last night Cesaro really didn't have a chance of building anything.
They put him in a match against a returning Barrett. So right off the bat he's gonna take a loss.
Then he messes up one word in his promo and THAT is what the announcers harp on. They don't bother putting Cesaro over as a major threat, because they are too busy making fun of him for messing up a word.

I liked what it COULD have been but it won't go anywhere

Honestly, I feel like if Cesaro had delivered the same exact promo after his match with Barrett last night, it would have been more effective. It was a good match and he could have given off a kind of frustrated feel with that promo.

Cesaro bought that promo at Kmart.

It's dumb that they still haven't turned him face. If they want him to connect to the fans, that's the way to do it. He is a charming and charismatic guy that would do much better if he weren't trying to get people to hate him.
His indy work and the old Claudio's Cafe videos really show off how likable he can be. WWE should us that to its advantage, not bury one of his strongest attributes.

I wish it was as simple as Cesaro's gimmick being "I don't cut promos I just go out there and put on good matches" because seriously, he does connect with the crowd when he's wrestling, just not on the mic. That's why they gave him Heyman but did absolutely nothing with him.

What the hell was that? That promo should have been the face turn everybody has been wanting since he paired up with Heyman. Just listen to the crowd as he said "I deliver every single time I step foot into this ring", they were ready to start cheering his every word because what he was saying was true. But then nothing, just went back to the usual 'I dont know what I am' bullsh*t they have him do every single week. Am I the only one pissed about this? Oh and his "4 ropes" screw up was hilarious. Agree on face turn. Doesn't need to talk much. Be like dean malenko. ICEMAN! |

It's baffling how they continue to waste such a talented wrestler. Damn shame.

His indy work shows that he has no problem working a mic and connecting with an audience. Just like his work in the Real Americans/WMXXX, the failure of Cesaro thus far is completely the creative team and/or some backstage issue we dont know about.

I've seen his indy stuff and I've never really seen him do well on the mic on his own. I feel that his best stuff was either with the BDK or as part of the Kings of the Wrestling. I remember when KOW split in 2007 in ROH. I was HUGELY behind Claudio, but his singles matches kept disappointing me. There were some great ones, against Takeshi Morishima and Daniel Bryan, but most of his singles stuff was lackluster. I remember he got the big first main event in the Hammerstein Ballroom against Nigel McGuinness and it was just "meh." I think Cesaro could be one of the WWE's best tag team guys. |

I personally think hes better in-ring now then he was before the WWE. His mic work is the other way around. The BDK and his Very European ROH gimmick were very good. |

I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal about the four ropes thing. It's not like he's the only guy to ever be to a promo. They need to just give everyone bullet points and let them go out and find their own voice. That's why made past eras so great, everyone had the freedom to develop their own characters.
EDIT: That was supposed to be, "ever to mess up a promo." Damn autocorrect.

There is no reason he should be floating around as a "heel" when the crowd wants to give a crap about him, unless there is something backstage we dont know. Or if the creative is seriously that stupid, which may be one or both. |

His only decent character work in the indys was as part of a team, same as WWE. |

I was live in the "arena" when Claudio faced Morishima for the ROH world title in Boston
Claudio had the entire crowd in the palm of his hand throughout the match. One of the best matches I've seen live. He didn't win, but he made all of us believe he could at any moment. It was awesome.

What they have been doing with Cesaro has been very painful to watch.
The dude isn't getting any younger.
