I too find it hard to get enthused about the current product. Very few guys getting hot and put into programs that matter. They've actually managed to turn Dolph Ziggler -- a usual highlight for many fans -- into the low point of the show every week.

Got no fucking clue what they are trying to do with Cesaro. I understand the idea of putting Big Show over en route to a big showing with Brock Lesnar, but that match is drawing on the sole principle of it being Brock Lesnar. If Cesaro had found a way to beat Big Show, it creates this sense in the average fan's mind of Lesnar vs. Cesaro being a match they want to see -- something that was also placed there with Cesaro's alignment with Paul Heyman after WrestleMania XXX. Regardless of whether or not they go with the guy or not, it doesn't hurt to have those fan associations as you build to future Lesnar appearances -- especially with nothing really sticking out for Lesnar as far as WrestleMania programs go.

But right now, I actually think one of the best things they could do with Cesaro is put him against The Miz. Seriously. The personality of The Miz is enough to carry the presentation of that program, and the matches aren't going to be the worst thing ever. People would go nuts for Cesaro uppercutting the crap out of Miz at Madison Square Garden after Miz talks about being from a real city like Los Angeles. Use the Daniel Bryan/Miz program that they used in 2010 as a template -- "Where is your personality? I'm a real Superstar" -- which actually benefited Miz in the short-term too.

I want some proper heels in the tag division too. Right now it's New Day against whichever face team they have the spotlight on at the moment. They're entertaining, but not in a way that you hate them as heels. This isn't going to change wrestling or anything, but how about going somewhere with this Los Matadores heel turn thing and have them break on the characters, talk about how they are former champions, and The Crown Princes of Puerto Rico. Maybe they can fuck over The Dudleys, as I feel those teams would have a good dynamic.
