Should they throw Antonio Cesaro into an advertised preshow mania match?

[mike adamle]

Dude deserves it.

[mike adamle]

Oh jesus christ unadvertised.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, would be good to have their US Champ on the show. Plus he has some very solid matches. Not that being thrown into a random five minute match against Kofi Kingston or someone will be something to write home about.

[Bad News Gertner]

He's pretty boring and hasn't done anything to warrant being on the show

[Lock Jaw]

The real question is should they throw Kaitlyn on the show. I say yes.

[#1-norm-fan]

A nice battle royal would be a good unadvertised addition to the pre-show. Get everyone on the card and a battle royal is a great way to warm things up before the main show.

They really should have the Funk/Rhodes Scholars match on the pre-show and the IC Title match on the main show though. Ridiculous.

[#1-norm-fan]

The US Title is basically what the TV Title was in the early days of WCW though. It's a low card title. And with no roster split, that's the only meaning they can get out of it.

[erickman]

yeah wwe does not give a crap about the us belt, i don't think they ever have

[Emperor Smeat]

The real question is should they throw Kaitlyn on the show. I say yes.

Based on a recent tweet AJ sent, very unlikely she's going to appear unless its some sort of random skit or backstage promo leading into the tag team title match.

Either it was implied the WWE shot down the idea of a Divas match involving AJ and Kaitlyn or Kaitlyn being on Team Hell No's side against Team Big Ziggy.

[#1-norm-fan]

I can see Kaitlyn being in Team Hell No's corner. Good way to get her on the card without wasting time on a quickly thrown together divas title match.

[Schlomey]

His match with Jericho on RAW was good and for the first time made me wish he had a spot just to see how he handles it.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I don't really care either way. Like Gertner said, for all his in ring ability, he's really boring and I'd probably just ignore any match between him and Kofi or R-truth that were to get shoe horned in. Maybe go make some porridge while its on, or have a 5 minute poo.

[MoFo]

Why would anyone think its a good idea to take 5 mins away from The Rock vs Cena and give it to this jobber to have some meaningless filler match.

[MoFo]

Really hope they have P Diddy singing for 20 mins and some skit with Mae Young and some old fuck legends dancing.

The crying in the threads would flood the servers :lol:

WWE just posted this video to Youtube. "Antonio Cesaro prepares for WrestleMania 29 with a chanmpion sized work out"

I'll be doing the same thing he'll be doing at WrestleMania. Watching. No work out needed.

[#1-norm-fan]

There's also a "Rosa Mendez prepares for WrestleMania..." video. lol

[The Naitch]

I noticed that the WWE title and US title belts look alike. Similar square design

I always liked Cesaro's theme when he comes out

Although the US Title doesn't get that much exposure, I still consider it a respectable title right now with a respectable champion representing it. Atleast it hasn't been tossed around from champion to champion like the WHC has. Just waiting for it to get it's time to shine. The longer we wait for a proper feud, the better, it'll mean something later on

[Lock Jaw]

Zack Ryder needs to come out with a "Zack Ryder prepares for Wrestlemania 29 with a champion sized meal at catering... and then crying in the corner" video.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Would deffo rather watch P Diddy than see a 5 minute Cesaro match thrown together.

[Shisen Kopf]

Puff Daddy, wooooooo 1997!

[The Naitch]

that stupid n****r Diddy [/owenbrown]

[Big Vic]

They should have made Miz/Kofi vs Cesaro/Barret. If one of the champs get pinned then then that one loses his title.

[James Steele]

Take The Miz out and do a 2-fall Triple Threat match where the first fall wins the U.S. Title and the 2nd fall wins the IC Title.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Or, take Kofi, Barrett and Cesaro out and hold a ceremony for The Miz by making him both the IC and US champ.

[James Steele]

Mr. Fuji could decapitate The Miz with a crystal machete.

[XCaliber]

He's appeared to have taken a backseat as of late but he did have a lot more chances on PPV then Wade Barrett has they seriously need to consider unifying the minor championships by next year.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I absolutely love Cesaro. I wish there had been something built up for him in time for the PPV, but having such a stacked card makes it pretty hard. He'll probably appear in a backstage segment or try to interrupt P. Diddy performing and talk about what a travesty it is that P. Diddy is performing such terrible music and yet the Champion of these United States is not invited. Then some random babyfaces embarrass Cesaro and he is sent packing to the back.

[Mr. Nerfect]

There are plenty of opponents for Antonio Cesaro, though. Sin Cara, Christian or even Zack Ryder could be used if they did want to give Cesaro a pre-show match and have him retain or even lose the US Title. Cesaro can then attack the winner during an interview on the main show between big matches and give people a reason to want to see the rematch.

3MB vs. Kofi Kingston, R-Truth & Justin Gabriel would make a great pre-show match, in my opinion. 3MB are all solid workers and an entertaining act, while Kofi & Truth are two guys that many could argue should be a part of the WrestleMania card. Justin Gabriel is a seemingly random addition, but he and Kofi recently wrestled each other, and they could use the angle that Kingston and Gabriel now respect each other. Plus there is a long history between Slater and Gabriel and they always work well together.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cesaro could interrupt P. Diddy and then end up in a match with The Great Khali, who is just dancing around with Diddy, the Divas and Maria Menounous. Cesaro can midget toss Hornswoggle and give us what could be one of the greatest wrestling gifs ever. He can then give Khali the biggest Neutralizer to date in a spot that would surely look good. Cesaro can then continue his attack on Khali and then Christian can make the save, implying that he will be Cesaro's next US Title challenger.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The match could literally be:

* Lock-up. Cesaro backs Khali into corner, impressing everyone with his strength.

* Lock-up. Khali throws Cesaro back, causing Cesaro great terror.

* Cesaro regains bravado and demands a test of strength. Khali obliges and forces Cesaro down into a bridge, but Cesaro powers back up and again forces Khali into a corner.

* Cesaro brags and gets a chop from Khali.

* Another chop from Khali.

* Khali tosses Cesaro out of one corner across the ring.

* Kick to the knee of Khali by Cesaro.

* Headbutts and European uppercuts to wear Khali down.

* Cesaro leaves ring, looks to attack Hornswoggle who hides behind P. Diddy.

* Cesaro begs P. Diddy to hit him. "If you hit me, Khali gets disqualified and I win." Diddy holds back.

* Khali grabs Cesaro from inside the ring and tosses pulls him up onto the apron.

* Cesaro hangs up Khali.

* Cesaro climbs to the top rope. Yodels.

* Cesaro jumps off top rope into chop from Khali.

* Khali calls for Punjabi Plunge.

* Cesaro breaks Khali's finishing grip and hits him with a European uppercut.

* Neutralizer. Cesaro wins match.

* P. Diddy checks on Khali. "Give it up for the big man!"

* Cesaro hits P. Diddy from behind.

* Cesaro lines up Diddy for US Title belt shot.

* Hornswoggle bites Cesaro's ankle.

* Cesaro kicks Hornswoggle off and stalks him.

* Cesaro kicks Hornswoggle.

* Cesaro spins Hornswoggle around while yodelling and tosses him out of the ring.

* Cesaro goes back to hit Diddy with the US Title belt.

* Christian runs in for save, hits Cesaro a few times, clotheslines him over to the floor. Sluttier Divas cuddle up to Christian who gives us a five second pose with Diddy and Khali.

[Lock Jaw]

Would rather forgo seeing Khali wrestle, and just see Christian.

[Wishbone]

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks that the US title being bumped from the show for Tons of Funk and Rhodescholars is a moron. Whether you like Cesaro or not having 3 of your titles left off the card is fucking ridiculous.

Drop Rhodescholars match, shorten shitnugget Diddy's performance by a few minutes, and cut out the inevitable crap segment like Brodus' "Call My Momma" dance thing last year and you could have the intercontinental and US titles defended proper. Hell make it a 3 way like Steele said, but leaving those titles off the card for filler is just disgraceful.

As for the divas title it's fine to leave it off, but they need to at least put Kaitlyn in Hell No's corner. Being a champion should always give you a spot on the biggest stage of the year period.

[James Steele]

They should have done like Angle/Benoit/Jericho at WM2000 and put Miz/Barrett/Cesaro in a 2-fall 2-title triple threat match.

Nope you're wrong. The company doesn't want people calling their cable providers and wanting a refund because some bald boring indie fuck is on their T.V. Tons of Funk are WAY more entertaining than Cesaro's bland vanilla midget ass.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

From another thread
Tensai and Brodus vs Rhodes Scholars is a much better fit for a cool down. It's a fun match that's essentially just a comedy segment in the ring when you add in the pre-match promo from Sandow + post-match dancing. Keeps the crowd entertained, while not having to exert too much energy or focus in the match.

It's pretty likely that match will be on before Rock v Cena. A simple one on one match wouldn't work in the same way.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Cesaro is good in the ring and he is great for Raw and Smackdown for giving good matches to other main event guys like Sheamus, Orton etc, but absolutely nothing about him says he should be at Wrestlemania. He doesn't have enough about him that's interesting. Any combination of him, Sin Cara, Kofi Kingston or R-Truth would be fine for a throw away match on Smackdown, but not Wrestlemania lol

[XL]

I don't mind that Cesaro isn't on the show, I take issue that the US Champion isn't though.

Probably no better way to say "Don't bother caring about this title, it's not worth your time" than to leave it off the biggest show of the year.

[Corndad]

From what I read Cesaro was suppose to face Sin Cara but with his injury and just being Sin Cara it was dropped. I'm sure he will appear in some capacity backstage or what not. He unfortunately is just one of the casualties of the Part Timers coming back that's all. Show is only 4 hrs long.

[Lock Jaw]

He's going to fight Bruno Sammartino

[mike adamle]

Hopefully he either wins a pre-show battle royal or is the last one eliminted by Christian or someone of the sort. Or the winner of the battle royal could face him later on the show. With an hour on the pre-show you could throw a little bit on there just to get some more guys a pay day.

[Ultra Mantis]

Cesaro w/ Swiss Beats vs P Diddy w/ Swizz Beatz in a Swiss chocolate on a pole match. Winner gets to sing.

[XL]

Just read that Cesaro was supposed to be in an 8 Man Ladder Match for both the US and IC Titles on the line seperately but it got scrapped cos Vince "doesn't like Cesaro as a worker".

Match would have featured the likes of Miz, Barrett, Kofi, Truth and I guess Gabriel and Christian (if he's healthy enough).

Take that with a handful of salt.

[Ultra Mantis]

Sounds plausible, guy obviously only has a job because of his yodelling promos.
