  5. This is wrestling lol. Vince & Tony do not know what they are doing. For Vince he hasn't created more than 5 stars to be on the top of your federation. For Tony who's a lot worse, they put Punk as their AEW champion who by the way got suspended now because of that media scrum burying the AEW talent. Like what does Colt Banana have to do with anything or The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega? He's feuding with MJF who made his huge return & they aren't even focused on that afterwards.

    For Cesaro. Yeah he is really great at wrestling. That's about it. He doesn't have promo skills or anything like that. He doesn't need promo skills or catch phrases because not everyone needs to talk & wrestle in wrestling. His wrestling is awesome. So just focus on that.

  18. I think Cesaro was one of the most underrated star in WWE but Mr McMahon never utilised him properly which leads to his departure from the company hopefully in future he'll return to wwe as now things have changed in WWE as WWE is run by Triple h now.

  22. There's definitely many strongman stronger than Mark Henry. Big Z is the GOAT, Brian Shaw a close 2nd, etc. That being said, pound for pound is such a dumb term to use as strength isn't obviously linear and smaller people are gonna be more proportionally stronger than heavier men. Bones can only do so much for your strength

  23. I love Claudio so much man he was always so underused in wwe now that he’s roh champ he’s able to have banger after banger

    Side note: I would love if one of the finishes for his title matches were if after a long match he just clobbers someone with an uppercut and get the pin. I think it’s over enough he could pull it off and it would be cool to have a simple move like that get over as a possible finish just because of how devastating it looks when he does it
