I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around Cesaro's direction - not that it's all bad, just confusing.
He has a babyface moveset and tends to win matches cleanly, but he's aligned with uber-heel Heyman and frequently exits the ring during his matches in a cowardly, heelish fashion. He wrestles faces, but does not cheat. Also, his new theme music has been universally disliked, yet he's now had it for four weeks, I believe.
I fear for him a little, since the fans are quieter during his matches now, because understandably, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND. Maybe I'm just having a hard time plugging into this enlightened "no heels, no faces, only still heels and faces" era. Any idea what the story is, here?
I don't know either. My main thought coming off of the initial turn was that it didn't matter if he was heel or face as much as it mattered that he was elevated, but he's been stuck with Swagger since Wrestlemania. Maybe they're building to him getting tired of Heyman's Brock speeches and turning for that match, but honestly that would be a waste of both guys. You're right though, I definitely get the feeling there is no endgame here.
I would have Cesaro ditch Heyman soon, repeat the CM Punk angle. Brock beats Cesaro at SummerSlam, then Heyman vs Cesaro in the fall.
ReplyDeleteHopefully without Rybaxel.
ReplyDeleteWell, actually maybe with them, they're not so bad anymore.
They don't book mid-card angles or feuds aside from the Day 1 roll-out. Then the mid-carder treads water for a couple of months until they "book" a new mid-carder to get a "push" and the original guy's back to where he started.
ReplyDeleteThe guy had a series of top, long matches with top guys before Elimination Chamber...so let's keep him in the midcard doing short matches. Um...
ReplyDeleteI wish they would have held off on the Heyman alliance and cast Cesaro in the "prodigy Orton" role in the new evolution
ReplyDeleteIn what universe is Cesaro vs Brock Lesnar "a waste of both guys?"
ReplyDeleteI mean... what?
Yeah!
ReplyDeleteYou sure you don't want to write a few more paragraphs about it?
ReplyDeleteThe matches would he good but
ReplyDeleteA) you can't job Brock for awhile since you have to maintain the streak breaker "mystique. "
B) why put Cesaro in a feud like that only to job...Brock sure as hell doesn't need it.
Put him in a feud with Orton or something
Personality wise.
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets help.
ReplyDeleteYES! IN YOUR FACE MEEKIN! AND JUST FOR THE RECORD WE ARE NOT COOL!
ReplyDelete$$$$
ReplyDeleteI always liked "dang, Jethro."
ReplyDeleteI wish I could figure out what this is supposed to even be.
ReplyDelete"It's good in the sense that I can take walks in my underwear, I can give small children the middle finger, but as long as I look happy while I'm doing it people just assume I'm senile... but sometimes I give small children the middle finger, and don't realize I'm doing it until someone slaps me."
ReplyDeleteI still wonder about the logistics of human taxidermy...
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too I guess... I don't know what he's like IRL, and I've never been to the blog that apparently exists just to make fun of THIS blog so I don't know how much of a tool he's still being (or if he even is still being a tool), but that dude always just rubbed me the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteThe last gasp of a desperate man?
ReplyDeleteThe last gasp = poop.
ReplyDeletei hope you stop hating asians
ReplyDelete/non-sequitur
that was the original name of marvin gaye's song till the record company pressured him into changing it
ReplyDelete"which is like pizza - even when it's bad, it's pretty good"
ReplyDeletei've never subscribed to this line of thinking
Since when was Taker ever fat enough he couldn't see his toes?
ReplyDeleteThose mini-movies were the brainchild of Sharon Sidello aka the head of Turner's PPV division and Ole's wife. She clearly inherited Ole's genes when it came to intentional sabotage.
ReplyDeleteJesse Baker?
ReplyDelete:slow clap:
ReplyDeleteYour local cable company didn't pick up USA Network until 1994? That sounds like a seriously lousy cable company.
ReplyDeleteThis has to be from during the "darker" days of BikerTaker.
ReplyDeleteYeah. He wasnt really "fat", I guess Scott hated him then?
ReplyDeleteGuys, I think he means Heyman.
ReplyDelete9/11, much like happiness, is an inside job.
ReplyDeleteI just re-read that... and yeah, you're right. But I still doubt Heyman could see his toes even then. Not without bending forward a bit.
ReplyDeleteYep, he is talking about Heyman. Good looking out.
ReplyDeleteIt was owned by a wealthy, ultra-conservative family. When I moved away in 1996 they still didn't carry MTV or VH1.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ, that is lousy. Probably goes without saying they didn't carry MuchMusic either.
ReplyDeleteI'm in NYC and didn't get much music until cable channels expanded in 98-99
