Holy shit at that one armed clean and press

Cesaro is the type of guy vince should be a mark for

Tall, muscular, strong, and a workhorse

Don’t know why he and Barrett got buried before wm

Seriously, why isn’t videos like that not aired on TV? Cesaro would be able to connect with the audience better if they did

I’m not even questioning why they did not air it.
My question is why invest the time and energy to film it, edit it,and post it online at all if you are not going to air it?

to promote and strengthen their online product, and the social media aspect of the wwe…imo.

The audience that supports their bottom line won’t give a shit about their online product. For most, the WWE doesn’t expand beyond Raw and a handful of PPVs.

they have been initiating a stronger online presence in the past year, and they have been alot more aggressive in taking down illegal raw/smackdown streams and putting up official hd ones. Its pretty clear they want to push their presence alot more. Social media is one of the strongest branding tools a company can use. It would be idiotic to ignore this, especially as the new generation of wwe fans grow up. yes it actually does help the bottom line, if you dont realize this…you dont actually know anything about a business or how to make it grow in this economy.

I don’t even question the dumb shit WWE does anymore, I just blame Vince. Cuz its usually his fault in some form or fashion when shit sucks.

Cesaro NOT at WM, the fact that the Sons of Funk is NOT on the WM pre-show, Jericho’s placement on the card and a Diddy performance are all prime examples.

diddy has nothing to do with vince. diddy has proven to be a good buisness man and talent. just cause you all dont like him dont mean shit. dude has been making money since the early 90’s. obviously he has a fanbase.

ViciousSLASH · 2013-04-04T06:54:55.000Z

When did Cesaro get a shirt? It is so dope.

I see what you did there…clever

And Diddy having “talent” is debatable.

Why is it that people expect everyone they like to be pushed to the moon? Vince does love Cesaro. pretty much everyone in WWE does.
But people like the Rocks, the Austins, the HHH’s, the HBK’s the Cena’s, The Punks…etc. Don’t happen over night. It takes years and years of investment.

Cesaro will be a major player in a few years. People just need to chill.

him having multiple top 10 albums, producers numberable #1 albums, and multiple hit tv shows is not debatable.

I don’t expect him to be pushed to the moon so soon…but it kind of irks me after giving a streak of good matches on TV, he jobs to the Miz on a lame imitation of the figure four.

Well they were feuding and now they’re not. I think its generally they don’t know what to do with the Miz or Cesaro right now.
I want Cesaro to be how Henry was back in SD! where he would do random feats of strength each week. But all of his promos would be cut in a different language. Do it during a Southern state stretch too so it can really get over. Murica and all.

Success and talent are two different things entirely, sir. His success is undeniable, never debated that. However his musical talent is questionable. I understand the business aspects behind Diddy’s inclusion, but his music fuckin sucks and I do NOT want to see him on my screen. Which is pretty much my point

That’s all well and good but they do a piss poor job at promoting their online material. Zeb Colter’s videos and JBL and Cole is the only one that gets any kind of mention on-air with maybe the PPV’s online pre-show. Cesaro video is something the WWE will randomly post on it’s youtube channel with no fanware.

Doesn’t equals talent.

talent is subjective, but if success and longevity are indictation. yes he is talented…you kinda have to be to have lasted that long in the music industry. flash in the pans dont last.

Cody Rhodes, AJ Lee.

Well played Mole.

I see WWE and Martha finally resolved their issues. The E is now free to use Owen Hart’s name and likeness. Awesome news.

dab00g · 2013-04-04T08:43:11.000Z

Osw reviews are horrible

I never will enjoy micks who are ass with their reviews

Fuck i could make a better show

maxx · 2013-04-04T08:52:41.000Z

just wanna put it out there i dont like diddy, just playing devils advocate on why they might have chosen him.

HD-Man · 2013-04-04T09:05:11.000Z

If we’re lucky, the lights will go out during Diddy’s performance so he can be legit power-bombed thru a table by The Shield.
