Ed. Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Not that I think it's going to suddenly change his career after almost being a decade into his WWE run, but I'm really interested to see if Cesaro can put on something special with Roman when they inevitably meet for the title so that we get a glimpse of what we could of had if Cesaro was used as world title guy. Presumably that's being added to Backlash and would probably be the biggest match of his career. I had totally forgot the No Mercy performance. Incredible talent to tough that out.

CheapPop1999 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 There's a whole lot of discussion of overarching wrestling philosophies in this thread, but it's a little bit lighter on Cesaro match recs. Does anybody have an essential 15-20 matches to get a good idea of his case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Not exactly a great connaisseur of his body of work pre-WWE, but off the top of my head: 30.04.2013 vs Kofi Kingston 11.07.2013 vs Sami Zayn 27.02.2014 vs Sami Zayn 22.05.2016 vs The Miz vs Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens 11.12.2017 vs Roman Reigns 14.07.2019 vs Aleister Black 10.04.2021 vs Seth Rollins 16.05.2021 vs Roman Reigns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 That Fatal Four Way is easily the best ever made, an Cesaro being the juggernaut to beat in it is a big part of why. From his WWE run, I would add the Regal match, the SmackDown Orton match, basically every Sheamus match (the US title match in 2014) and the Bar run, specially the Ironman against the Hardys and the first Ambrollins match where he fucking breaks his teeth and keeps going like an absolute madman.

concrete1992 Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I don't think I foresaw a few years back that Claudio would come out of WWE and have enough juice to climb up the big board but he's doing just that. The Eddie Kingston match from SCOH this year is wonderful and is looking like we are going to be able to close a long open indie arc in Ring of Honor. Those two are 100% two great flavors that taste great together and they understand how to get the most out of one another despite being deeply different wrestlers. I think he's been largely good in AEW but the ROH run is going to allow him to spread his wings again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtainJerker Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 He seems like a different animal in ROH matches, similar to how his NXT matches were at another level compared to WWE main roster. I still have issues weighing him being a charisma vacuum/forcing a character, i.e. Dean Malenko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
