As far as Nash and Reigns go, I can see the comparison. Reigns look and demeanor is equal to Nash's immobile style, but I think Big Daddy Cool guy who used to stand on top of Mack trucks and challenge truckers to fist-fight is wayy cooler than angsty Head of the Table Samoan oddity who can't put on weight. Also, the spear is maybe my least liked finisher of all time. Jacknife, cool.

I agree with the spear being a lame finisher, but in what world can someone the size of Roman Reigns be described as unable to put on weight?

When you look at his family, excluding those delinquents at the kids' table.

I'd be fine with AEW signing  Claudio if they hadn't just signed Swerve, Buddy Matthews, Tony Nese, Lee Moriarty, Keith Lee, Kyle O'Reilly, Brody King, Jay Lethal, Danhausen, and Bobby Fish in the last few months. Not to mention they're about to sign Jeff Hardy.

Those 10 guys (no Jeff, plz) are a good 10 week start for Claudio. Is there any good reason he hasn't faced any of those guys?

He's had two short Thunderdome matches against Buddy. He's had a couple singles against Jeff, and they had a substantial tag team feud so they've been in the ring a bunch. Surprised there's not more against Lethal, but there are a couple four corner survivals and a CZW three way dance from waaaaaay back. He's worked O'Reilly at an ROH show in Toronto. He's got two singles vs Fish. Nothing vs Brody, Lee, and Danhausen, but Cesaro's been under WWE contract for longer than they've been active, so I guess that's a good reason. Only Royal Rumbles for Keith and Nese, and I'm not even sure they overlap there. Nothing for Strickland. So nothing with no good reason on those last three.

Nash was also Super Shredder. Nash playing a washed stripper and Super Shredder > Reigns being the third-most popular pro wrestler in an F&F movie. 

Reigns is going to need Jason Momoa to retire because Hollywood's the type of place that only has room for one gentleman of Samoan descent with long hair at a time.

was there a wrestler in that movie other than Rock and Reigns?

What is Austin Creed’s contract situation? I WANT DA PARTY PLAYING UNO.

This is literally all I want out of this. Let Claudio retire and make money Twitch streaming with Chuggs and Matt and others playing Uno.

Also, BRING BACK THE SOUNDBOARD!

Imagine the G1 this year if it had Claudio, Rusev, Brian, Punk, Mox, Kingston in it.  Hell maybe add Cole for good measure. It has the potential of being stacked!

If we could just get ahead of this pandemic and international wrestlers could freely travel without issue at some point. And provided we're not in a nuclear war.

Claudio was apart of the early start of WWE and Triple H in particular, signing Top indy guys of the previous decade. They could have got so much more out of him than they did. There was alot more doubt whether guys from the indies would get over and if anybody would know them once they got to the main roster but he did. I don't know how much of the WWE Universe was already familiar with Cesaro when he got to the main roster but he got himself over as well as he could on his own. He got over mainly with showing his impressive strength. I think when Daniel Bryan won the world title and was first getting a chance to be in the main event picture, the fans believed Cesaro had the potential to as well. When he won the first Andre Invitational Battle Royal that was the only one people were really about the winner but they didn't follow up with it. It made the following Battle Royals go back to being what the other Pre Show WrestleMania Battle Royals were. Just a match to feature everyone else that did make the Card. One he started the Bar with Shamus everyone pretty much gave up on hope of him getting to the main event. Don't get me wrong that team was one of the best teams in the industry at the time not to mention he help lay the foundation for the Black and Gold era NXT, killing it even after he got called up. His WWE run has really good at times

Woken up to the great news of a new creative team on Batman, Chip Zdarsky/Jorge Jimenez and now that Cesaro's gone from WWE. Holy shit. Cesaro's been underappreciated by Vince McMahon in his time at WWE, he should be a multi time world champion there. So glad I got to see Cesaro live one last time in November of last year, in a dream match with TAFKA WALTER. Any promotion that can sign him absolutely must. Give him the push his talents deserves. Now to go back a few pages and read what I've missed.
