Am I the only one that thinks Cesaro got the jobber entrance to hide the fact that he, as a heel, get a more positive pop than face Swagger?

There are rumors that Cesaro is gettig released.
lol Swagger is way more over than Cesaro

At this point I think I enjoy talking about wrestling more than watching it.
With the exception of all those G1 matches people have been posting. Holy shit was the tournament awesome. I need more of that with some English commentary.

Dear God, I forgot that so well that I didn't even remember they used to be together until I saw your post and wondered why you said it.
Such a damn shame.
Back then there was no way in hell that Swagger would come out on top.

Good for Cesaro to put his more talented partner over. Someone has to always be the Jannety.

Steph truly is trolling all the fans with this angle
I doubt he pissed anyone off. They just think they can cool off guys and heat them back up when they feel like giving them a push like they're a microwave meal. They sure can do the cooling off pretty well, anyway.

Don't worry, we'll get the return of GTV later on and see secret cam footage of Steph paying "Megan" to say this.

It's a sad state of affairs if this is actually true. But going by how the current Swagger angle is over, I think it's just the USA that's over, not him.
Okay, I feel a bit better

Neither one of them is over. Cesaro's been a jobber for months, and Swagger's Swagger.
"We The People" is over. That's it.

Absolutely.
Protip, when measuring awful wrestling angles, the one involving necrophilia always wins.
Always.....

Honestly, someone needs to sit there and say "If we're going to have to mention $9.99 every segment, we need to tie back to something on the Network to whatever's happening."
This match for example, could talk about how you can see Cesaro win the Battle Royal at Wrestlemania at the WWE Network. Or mention their history as the Real Americans, and pick a substantial PPV match they had. Or hell, you could even mention an old Raw with the Real Americans falling apart, since those would likely be uploaded.
Something, anything. Instead they just beat the same exact point over and over and over and over and over about the PPVs. It's frustrating as hell.

When I say "no", I mean "no, that didn't happen". Cesaro has lost all his heat since they started jobbing him out.
Then Cesaro wasn't over, it was his big swing that was over.
Once they give someone a decent push and then out of the blue cool them off, it almost never works when they attempt to push them again. Heck, IF they even ever seriously try to push them again. I'm a huge fan of Cesaro but I doubt he'll ever get back to where he was again.

Would've thought they'd de-push Swagger after he managed to injure BNB. Maybe he's got the same kind of dirt on him that IRS has.
So he was over as a result of his own ability to execute that particular move. Better than being over because of Zeb's promo work.

they said it during swagger's entrance
Its why they teamed him with Heyman and told him to stop the giant swing.
Cole mentioned them being tag partners.

I stopped watching TNA once it went back to hell a number of months ago because of him.
Seriously, that angle here? Please God no...
that face is my reaction to it all

Being clueless about a good storyline isn't really 'trolling' anybody. A troll can't really run a weekly begathon for their floundering network.

This forum sometimes. Goddamn. Every time WWE cools on someone, it's always "They suck, they were never over."
Happened to Del Rio, Miz and now Cesaro. Whatever.

yea they did, they mentioned they were former partners at the start
What usually happens is they push a guy, they get over, then WWE cools them for no reason, they're not over, then WWE blames them for not being over and resolves to never push them again. Cue another midcarder-for-life.

Miz is burning bright. What on earth are you talkin' about?
Can you blame him?

Pretty much true. Cesaro as a person was over for like 2 weeks, then they started building every segment with him towards the Big Swing. The Big Swing then overshadowed everything else in his matches including whether or not he was a heel.
Now he's a bum AND doesn't do the swing anymore. I don't get it.

That would require effort.
That would require commentary remembering what happened 4 months ago instead of just shilling the next celebrity appearance, unfunny joke, thing that just happened 5 minutes ago or hashtag that's trending on Twitter.
It's insane how much talent they have screwed up and they just faded away. So much potential totally wasted, so many careers ended forever. It's quite depressing really.
I do but that was then.
