Jim Ross Views Cesaro as Future “Fan Favorite”

On Saturday, Feb. 15, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross posted a blog on his website, JRsBarBq.com. In his most recent post, “Good Ol’ JR” took the time to write about a number of topics such as WWE Network airing the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony this year, the character of Cesaro moving forward, among others such as MVP going to TNA.

Jim Ross wrote the following regarding Cesaro’s match on “WWE Smackdown” in addition to Cesaro moving forward:

“Solid, Smackdown match Friday night featuring Cesaro vs. Orton. Amazing what a new pairing with do as it relates to in ring performance and viewer perception. The 6 man tag featuring the Shield  vs. Bryan, Sheamus and Christian was strong as well.

 If Cesaro can’t be put into a position, either as a fan favorite or a villain, to be an impactful talent in WWE, it will be a real, head scratcher. I see Cesaro as a fan favorite moving forward. If not, how well could Cesaro do associated with Heyman after Lesnar takes his leave again?

The business continues to evolve in so many different ways such as who would have thought that the ‘Giant Swing’ would become such a fan favorite maneuver? What’s old is new again in so many ways within the wrestling business that it gives me hope that many of the tried and true fundamentals of the biz might some day return. (I’m still holding out for the occasional 2X3 Falls match and a time limit draw here and there.)”

Ross also commented on the confirmation of WWE Network airing the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony:

“Rumor mills are working OT regarding as to who will be the next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. I think that it’s cool that the HOF induction ceremony will air live, as I understand it, on the WWE Network. Hopefully the live audience will mind their manners and not feel compelled to display their defiance and disrupt the show for any reason. Cheering and classy displays of support are awesome however wise ass, look-at-me chants aren’t.”
