Well the obvious options would be either the Danielson Dojo or part of the angle in Impact where they are being invaded by ROH. He would be a natural fit in both.

Timbo Slice Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Have to imagine they low-balled him or gave him the Sami/KO deal scaled down and he wanted more security. Don’t blame him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Also I have to believe the New Day are all but done with WWE too. At least Woods and Big E, I could see Kofi being a WWE lifer but he might want to stay with his friends since the New Day seems to be really close IRL. Between all of Xavier's gaming buddies leaving and E's closeness to the Huber family (and being one of the "everyone loves him" guy), I don't think there's any reason left for them to stay now. Especially after reading Big E's recent interviews where it's clear he didn't expect to get shunted back to being a tag team guy after his title run and seems to be "I'm going to be extra careful not to say anything that could be perceived as negative towards the company so they don't get petty and fuck with me" mode.

Jmare007 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 When did Kofi, Xavier and Big E sign their latest deals? I have the impression it wasn't long ago but I could be way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Also it looks like WWE *did* actually offer Cesaro a new deal and he was like "nah" to the surprise of pretty much everyone. I get the feeling he thought he missed his window to be a top guy, saw Punk and Danielson become huge in AEW and thought "well fuck, maybe it's not too late for me after all".

KawadaSmile Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 I don't see him becoming the top guy either in AEW either, so while KO and Sami already have each other, Cesaro had Sheamus (who's frequently injured) and opted to go where his old indie buddies where. I think the money is good either way. Shame we never had a Cesaro/Brock match tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nerd in me also takes into account his last push that made no sense. He dominated Rollins match after match, constantly embarrassing Rollins in segments. Then he lost the blow off match. It was so weird, there was no give and take during the build up. It was all Cesaro, who's promos and character work were the best since The Bar, totally the best as a singles. It fooled me into thinking , " Finally, he's taking a step up on the pecking order." and nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 But based on an Eddie tweet I just saw that was implying about their real life shit,I also expect Cesaro to fuck him over and cost him the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMJ Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 We can (and should) probably open up a thread about how terrible Kane's views are, but because this is PWO, maybe we can just stick to how overrated and not good he is as a worker? Like, based just on the number of Good-to-Great matches under his belt, guys like Nash and even Braun Strowman blow Kane away. Kane's best matches were probably his tags with Danielson and maybe 1-2 matches in the 00s against Rey and Triple H (?) but aside from that, yeah, he's got like 20 years of filler on his resume. There's something to be said for consistency, but shit, at least Nash has genuinely awesome matches against Bret and Shawn and even some fun stuff in WCW and TNA (I know, I know). Just sayin', you put Kevin Nash in his prime as Danielson's teammate against the Shield and those matches probably go from 3-star to 4. Does Kane have even one singles match as good as Braun had against Roman? For a guy who was at it as long as Kane was, who was protected as long as Kane was, who had matches with all the bells and whistles as Kane had, his actual output of matches that are "must see" is what? 3? 5 tops? Yeah. Even for a guy who "wasn't supposed to have great matches," he's got less great matches than guys like Bossman who existed in a whole decade-long era of US wrestling where having "great matches" wasn't even really a thing for big men.

Coffey Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Kane was a terrible wrestler for like thirty years. He's only been in politics for a few years & is some how worse. That's actually impressive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Kane had some good stuff over the years but also was involved in some of the absolute worst garbage in the 00s/10s in the same way that Taker was involved in some of the absolute worst garbage in the 90s.

C.S. Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Not nearly as controversial as Kane's profound, monumental stupidity, but John Cena is getting some backlash for hashtagging his show in a tweet about the Ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He moronically criticized Rock for "selling out" to Hollywood. He agreed to look like a total knob on Total Divas/Bellas for six years. Cena wants his game to be as professional and polished as Rock's, but he has never come close. Ironically, Cena might be a better actor than Rock now after seeing what he can really do in Peacemaker.

sek69 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 The China stuff was not great but if Cena wants to do movies then you have to PLAY THE GAME and kowtow to them or else they'll cut your film off from a billion paying customers. Sucks, but at least you can say it's business. The Total Divas/Bellas stuff was just weird since every clip I've ever seen of either show with him in it made him look like an uncaring dolt and that's even after it was probably edited to hell and back.

He has a match on ECW TV where Punk gets him to do some of his PWFG stuff that I watched recently, and I don't know if it was good, but I was pumped to see Kane bust out some grappling out of nowhere.
