    Yeah don't know what's happening with Cesaro. He seemed like he was about to get a big push. But he's just been getting buried lately.

    I wonder if he's on his way out

    I hope the WWE does not misuse Kenta and his talents, he's one of the best wrestlers in the business today.

    The WWE also signed Kevin Steen. He's currently in NXT, he will get at least a name change, I don't know if he's getting a new gimmick. I don't pay attention too much on news, rumors, and dirt sheets. I just can't wait to see him and Sami Zayn (aka El Generico) in the ring again.

    I talked about Cesaro having to water down his moveset, 90% of the stuff Kevin Steen does will have to be abandoned, plus he has that extremely un-WWE look. I think it's gonna be an uphill battle for him.

    Kenta I worry less about. Even if he doesn't develop the character to become a superstar, a Chris Benoit super worker type is his worst case scenario IMO. I think WWE really wants him to succeed to have that marketable japanese guy, and getting the higher ups to like you is 90% of the battle.

    With all of this technical talent Zayn, Kenta, and guys already there like Rollins, Cesaro, Ziggler and hopefully Bryan can come back, I would hope the WWE will ease up and let these guys show how great wrestling can be. Right now the WWE can make a legitimate claim to having the best wrestlers in the world. I doubt it though, they don't wanna make their bodybuilders look bad.

    -Some of this is a safety issue. Some of these brain busters and piledrivers look like spine injuries and concussion waiting to happen.

    - As I said before, I wonder if they will make Kenta into a comedy jobber, which is pretty much all Vince ever does with Japanese wrestlers.

    It's not 1999 anymore.

    Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, RVD, Chris Jericho, etc have all been wwe/world champions. Guys like Rollins, Ambrose, Cesaro will all get there.

    I don't believe the glass ceiling really exists. If a guy can go, he's going to get pushed. The Cesaro thing is overblown too. He lost matches too Ambrose and the IC #1 contender but looked strong and dominated a good amount of those matches.

    I think he might make a return to Triple-A Lucha Libre or CMLL in Mexico.

    He could also go overseas and wrestle for New Japan Pro Wrestling. There are a lot of great talent over there.

    The Dudley Boys put Dixie Carter (TNA owner) through a table.

    I still prefer the Dudleys putting Trish Stratus through a table at Backlash 2000 as the best table moment from the Dudley Boys. Now if the WWE has a set and can let someone put Stephanie McMahon through a table, that would be incredible and everyone will mark out crazy.

    My vote goes to Mae Young for best table bomb.

    Dude, AAA is launching in the USA as a new wrestling company. If Del Rio goes to AAA, there is NO DOUBT he would be part of the USA version.

    I don't think is a good enough worker to go to New Japan.

    In today's WWE, who do you wish which diva will be put through a table? Paige, Lana, Stephanie, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Naomi, Cameron, Summer Rae, Eva Marie, any NXT diva, etc.?

    Unless.......if someone puts AJ Lee through a table then I think Punk will return :grin:
