As seen on WWE TV as of late, WWE has been featuring Antonio Cesaro and his giant swing move. The idea is that the giant swing is a babyface spot so they're looking at getting Cesaro to turn babyface. Despite their recent wins, WWE creative is looking at breaking up the team of Cesaro and Jack Swagger.

cesaro didnt need a big swing to get over as a babyface tho.......just let him do the hey thing, since catchphrases and shyt are cool again and he'll be over for life

not to mention claudio is a nice guy in real life thus a better babyface than heel

:patrice: I don't know. They've been steadily building up credibility as a tag team, and the tag division needs all the help it can get.

That said, Swagger's a bum, so the further he gets away from him and this nonsensical gimmick with Colter, the better.

The psychology of being a babyface is not about being a nice guy. It's what befits how you present yourself and knowing babyface tactics 101. Some of the old 1980s corny shyt they do with Cena is a self burying technique but being against the grain and having your back against the wall while doing your best and not crying about it? Fans will flock to or at the very least be INTRIGUED by such an development.

They're not going anywhere until booking decides to do something with Reigns. They're just trading wins with certain teams.

Cesaro is too inhuman to be a Mizcarder. He needs a WHC op next year at least.​

wht's the "hey thing" ? :patrice: @Mr.Black

It's sorta of like the yes thing, he used to do it on the indies and it was over as hell, basically he would do a european uppercut to a guy and he crowd would go HEY, like how when anybody chops anybody in america fans go WOOOOOOOOOO

He used to come out to "I got to have it" by jd and nas and monica and raise his hands and go HEY, thats how it started.

Cesaro is going to suck as a Face and he'll be dancing with Brodus and Tensai by month 3 of the push. Smarten up retard.
he doesn't seem to have the charisma to be a good babyface. he doesn't even speak for himself as a heel. he is the ultimate project tho. he's clearly talented, and does stuff in the ring no one else can or is doing. but how do you push him?

By not doing what they did to Shelton, Kofi, or mutliple others. Stop cutting his legs off from beneath him. Keep the push strong like they did for fukking Lashley and Sheamus.

If they push him as a face. It would have to be based off of his strength and in ring abilities. Sort of an "all about business" type of gimmick. That Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Benoit type of persona. He just isn't a talker nor is he naturally charismatic. As a Heel he was doing fine, just keep him off the mic and stop the stupid trumpet dance. As a Heel you book him as a physical machine like you would as a Face except have him commit heel atrocities such as a couple of finishers after the bell rings or something of that nature.
