I agree with the premise of this thread.
On Cesaro: The dude can fucking work. I honestly can't remember seeing anyone as rewarding in the ring as he has been since I started watching. He's this perfect blend of old-school and new flare. I'm not saying the older guys couldn't do what he is doing, but they could easily emphasize that no one has done some of the shit he is doing. They shouldn't just be billing him as the pound-for-pound strongest; but as the pound-for-pound best.
He might not be the best talker, but he is getting more comfortable. Not everyone needs to be The Rock on the mic. His charisma shines through his work. The far and away biggest problem they face with him is that they don't give him wins. It really is that simple. If Cesaro were a horse in the race, he'd never place. Who the fuck is putting money on that horse? Cesaro needs to start winning. He got the pin on Rusev. Great. I think he should have been the first guy to ever beat Rusev twice. Then you could have had him beat Owens at SummerSlam -- with Owens using the Ladder Match the night before as an excuse. Cesaro could then move into a program with The Miz -- who would be the perfect guy to whinge about Cesaro's lack of personality, only to get flattened for it. Then you can move him onto Big Show. Then he can have a very impressive showing in the Royal Rumble. You get the idea.
Cesaro's not the only face this happens to -- Dean Ambrose got smashed with the same shit. Bray Wyatt has gotten it as a heel. The WWE doesn't seem to want anyone to get too over in case they get offers to go and be an actor or something. Then they expect these guys to act.
