For reference Cesaro's first PPV matches were against Santino Marella, Zack Ryder, Justin Gabriel, R-Truth and The Miz. Rusev's first PPV matches were against Xavier Woods, R-Truth, Big E and Jack Swagger. Both fought some shitters and then a former world champion.

This isn't true though you mark. Rusev trained at Rikishi's school and was a regular on FCW before it became NXT.
Rusev isn't over in the slightest anymore
As much love as I have for Claudio, Rusev sells the role way better.
They're both fairly limited on the mic but Rusev just has the look of an evil monster heel. Claudio is a good looking jacked dude with great in-ring skills, not heel material at all. The E never managed to nail down a solid gimmick for him and tbqf I can't think of any gimmicks for him that would sell in the current era. I'm afraid he's gonna be stuck in booking limbo for the duration of his career.

Not making any excuses for Cesaro but rusevs rise coincided with the Crimea shit happening. It was a hot topic and Vince capitalized
>>1677182
never heard any boos towards Rusev. He always comes out to silence.
Cesaro is a charisma vacuum, we all know that you faggot.
Cesaro can't cut a promo thats why

They should have just sold him as literally the guy from Leon the Professional. You know. Leon. Instead they manage to fuck that up and give him the gimmick of fucking James Bond. A playboy that was far from professional.

He was pushing for the James Bond thing for months on instagram and twitter

>give him a pedophile gimmick
I don't think that would go over well

Really? Then entrance is cool, but because they've done absolutely nothing to drive the point home apart from that, he's basically not got a gimmick. He should be like a hitman. Constantly blurring the lines between heel and face. Basically working for whoever needed him and "taking out" whoever was giving that person or group trouble. Then take him off TV for a few weeks and start it all again.
