Really wish all storyline arcs were as perfectly executed as Cesaro and Sheamus. They hit the nail on the head about how they were drifting and turned their feud into one of the best tag teams in recent memory.

Like, the path to get there was the most boring shit possible but damn, I gotta admit the payoff that we now know as The Bar was worth it.

I hated it when they paired up, but they've come a long way since the Best of 7 series.

The definition of a polished turd. The Best of 7 (which you'll remember was preceded by two singles matches which Cesaro won clean) was the most awful thing they could have done for these guys in terms of short term booking, but it really paid off. Cesaro and Sheamus are great talents (Sheamus moreso than he gets credit for, imo).

God, that best of seven sucked. Yeah, the Bar is awesome, whatever, but they still pointlessly blew like two months on doing the same match over and over and over and over again that had already been done to death before they even started and it still ended up being a massive waste of your time as there was no actual payoff.

The worst part about the Best of Seven was that they set it up with two other Sheamus and Cesaro matches before the series, so if it wasn't already stale enough...

Actually I'd say the worst part of the Best of Seven is that they're treating it like HBK/Taker. Yeah they had some nice matches and all but shit come on now.

They should just finish the best of 7 series at Wrestlemania and have that as Sheamus’ sendoff

Well, I do remember Foley actually made fun of the idea at Fastlane this year when he threatened the world with the idea of Rusev vs. Jinder in a Best of Seven series.

I was live for that match. It was a very dumb way to end a bad feud. The crowd was not happy with the non finish.

They should have done a best of three to the same effect. No excuse for dragging it out like that. I'll gladly admit I was wrong on thinking the payoff would suck because these two have become great as a team, but hot f*** was the trip there like driving through corn country.

That was a great watch. Fist both guys are finding themselves now.
That dive was disgusting. Glad he said he's not doing them again.

I'm glad it was the last one, because match 7 was the only one that I thought was memorable from that series.

The payoff was always them ending up in a tag but the destination getting their was way f***ing long
