But if you just listen to Cesaro actually talk, not on a mic, but just a normal conversation, the guy is charismatic as fuck
They need to stop writing promos and expect them to read the stuff verbatim, reading someone elses words will always come across awkwardly, give them bullet points and stress things that need to be mentioned and let the talent get the message across in their own voice and maybe catch fire organically.

Fuck yes, this needs to stop. Promos started being shit when they began writing them out for guys. Promos suddenly went from being something guys could use to make themselves a star to just a part of a character that's now up to some boring, shitty writers who use the same basic formula for everyone.

"It was a Vince McMahon decision for Charlotte to lose and there was a feeling that if Triple H had his way, Charlotte would have went over. In the tag match, Charlotte was the one who would have scored the pinfall for her team. When it was changed to a singles match, Natalya reportedly asked to lose the match because she felt it was the right thing.Vince decided against it and Triple H sort of defended the move, bringing up the timing issues and saying that in six months when they bring Charlotte in again, people won't remember this happened."

If there's a problem with Cesaro, it's that he's a wrestler first and everything else second, on a wrestling show whose Chairman doesn't want to be associated with wrestling. Vince McMahon wants superheroes and action figures, which is why he's still so intent on pushing a human piece of driftwood like Roman Reigns, even though he can barely string a whole sentence together.

Cesaro absolutely beasts people in the ring and the crowd loves him for it, but he can't (or isn't willing to) be made into some wacky, larger-than-life cartoon character-- try to imagine Cesaro doing the hot-dog cart attack schtick that Dean Ambrose was doing, or a segment of Cesaro doing John Cena's ha-ha-larious Photoshop Funnies or whatever. He's a guy who is so phenomenally good at wrestling that he keeps getting over with the crowd even though he's given nothing to work with, but the actual wrestling has never really been WWE's focus.

Dude should've stayed on NXT after the Sami Zayn feud and just been a god there. At least then he'd be on the show that everyone loves, instead of losing every match for like three months and having his employer publicly throw him under the bus on a podcast.

Like, I've heard Reigns talk outside of a written promo, like regular interview, and dude is charismatic as hell. Writing some shit for another guy always seemed odd to me.

But I think once the office decides what they want to do (aahahahahahahahaha) with his character, he'll be easier to write for.
