    Cesaro just seems like a genuine, good dude. Glad he did what was best for him
  • I appreciate Claudio's class. He doesn't feel the need to bury WWE or their performers.
  • He is one of the most underappreciated and underrated stars in wrestling history. He deserved way better singles push than he did
  • "You wanna know, but you also wanna be surprised" Claudio just summed up the very essence of professional wrestling in that one sentence.
  • @julesypoo
    He deserved to be world champion he is so good in the ring
  • @kingnick2651
    The fact he was never WWE Champion is disgusting tbh
  • @mmgprovideo
    Obviously he is an amazing wrestler, but better than that - He honestly just seems like an all around good person.

    I think the real reason that no one wants to say is because you don’t want to burn your bridges. Vince McMahon’s vision was no good for many superstars. Had Triple H been in charge I don’t think we’d see half of the people who left to aew
  • @m0rgan1c
    Claudio is always a class act. Feels like he will have another run in WWE before he retires.
  • @bradburke8232
    So diplomatic. Like I'd imagine the way WWE used him and the reality that he was probably never going to elevated higher than where he was (despite knowing and being told that he's more valuable than that as a talent) had a hell of a lot to do with why he left but there's no way to say that without sounding negative so he just doesn't say it.

    Cesaro was mismanaged from the time he entered the company. For some of these guys, I do think it's a case of right wrestler/wrong timing. If Cesaro could get into a time machine and be dropped in around 1992 just before WWF started to struggle and slowly lose key stars, with the writers still there, I think he would have made a big impact and had just the right guys around him left there to have the matches he needed. WWE's writers have been poor since around 2002 onwards for me and it's not just the writing either that deteriorated. Too many chefs, too many PPVs, too many in ring promos, too many over the top gang bangs, they've just forgotten that less is more with this stuff. Even something as simple as the rings sounding less impactful, everything has gone backwards, this wasn't just a Cesaro problem.
  • This guy is the dj DJ lemighu of wrestling I know I messed his name up but no joke he is. So good so humble he doesn't need to do all this extra stuff he lets his play or wrestling do his talking
  • What a classy guy. Obviously one of the nicest people in wrestling.
  • He’s quite a Genius for not announcing it and as a result he was awarded with that unreal pop
  • @realjosh9944
    Even though I miss him in WWE, he has the right to do what he wants One of the best to ever step foot in that ring
  • @FlyingShoeMan
    He seems like one of those guys that if something happens at AEW/ROH and he leaves, he would probably be welcome anywhere. His WWE run alone should show he's willing to put a ton of people over, and I feel like if he went back to WWE today, he could be a top guy (or more likely involved in the Brawling Brutes/Imperium fued, which would be badass)
  • He’s never injured anyone and he’s had some great matches not sure why wwe never gave him a push
  • @CptnUnseen
    Cesaro was always one of my favorites. Definitely underutilized and under appreciated and underrated… now, In aew thank God he’s free to just do his thing. Top guy imo!!!
