The Aleister Black / Cesaro segment

[Joe Neglia]

That may just be the stupidest thing I've watched today.

Seriously, I feel brain cells dying trying to process it.

Oh, god, there went another one.

[ayumidah]

So many people on my timeline made Breaking Bad jokes. then Cesaro tweeted the same joke ten minutes later himself

[Chiral]

Cesaro: *sensually caresses his fingertips on the steel chair*

Also Aleister's heel promos are just. I don't like them.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

WWE got a little bit of goodwill last week and par the course, immediately squandered it at the first opportunity.

[bearned]

The match should be a banger but both of them are probably the last two guys you’d pick to do promos (though Blacks dark room segments have been sort of a guilty pleasure tbh)

While he's good enough that once they get out of the way and let him wrestle he could probably shake it off quickly, I just cannot even imagine if you've never seen Aleister Black before or outside of the context of his Ricochet team thinking this guy is cool after the way they've been using him. This pouting in his room about the nature of man stuff is so damn bad.

This is a dream match. Ceasro circled around his chair like 1 and 1/2 times. Gave a quick promo.

Let's just crap on it right away.

I mean, like... The potential match quality doesn't actually make the segment any better and it's still Aleister having a weird rambling meltdown over someone knocking on his door, followed by staring at Cesaro while doing his best C-horror movie faces. And really Cesaro opening his mouth is probably enough to declare a segment a total disaster on its own.

Only 50 more to go before you enjoy the product, so you got that going for you!

My main point is that this could be an amazing match.

But because of creative we had to wait to this point, to introduce the opponent.

I just really want people to be excited for this match.

Sometimes it is just about being better than the other person. Sometimes there is a great story.

Just be grateful we have two high class talents that want to do a good job in the ring together.

I mean, it is Aleister Black vs, Cesaro on PPV, and ppl complain.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

I could care less about a segment I couldn't watch. My main problem is they were starting to make Cesaro into a threat (yes, by beating on perennial FAN mocking bag No Way Jose, but still), and HE'S the one they pick to face Black? I hate the matchup simply because neither man should be losing here and oh who am I kidding Cesaro is basically fodder here. Great....

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

the match should be amazing but these guys are not promo cutters, WWE constantly trying to force promos out of these guys and it makes them come off so incredibly unnatural, doesn't help the writing is absolute trash too. Ricochet's the worst example right now.

Black works as either a face or a heel, but he needs to be the silent badass type who only talks every now and then like in NXT. And I love Cesaro, but he has less than zero charisma so he shouldn't talk at all. Match should be great, though.

I really want to see Ali vs. Black now after Ali's promo.

So he wanted someone to knock on the door, which someone did...

And they ended up being in a completely different room from them?

Huh?

Well, Cesaro's been travelling with the rest of the roster actually being in matches, so of course he'd be in a different room two weeks later if Black's been in the same one the whole time.

I just presumed the room was a metaphor and he just found a different one each arena they went to but that’s me overthinking about it.

Yeah, old mate's just been in Portland for the last three months. Nice Pacific Northwest city from what I've heard, probably worthwhile staying there if one could, but I can't imagine he's seen much of it if he's just been in a room talking to a camera waiting for the travelling WWE roster to come to town.

I didn’t see anything wrong with the segment, to be honest.

I’m looking forward to this match. If given 20 minutes, it could be a MOTY.

[The Lach is very tired]

Give them 15-20 minutes, let them go out there & put on a NEVER Openweight style stiff match & all will be forgiven.

[Deleted]

Honestly I'd be amazed if their match at the PPV reached ten minutes. It's pretty clearly just there to have Black squash someone and as it stands this show has ten matches announced for it.
