As we witnessed Sunday night, Antonio Cesaro is now the new United States Champion. However, there have been rumors swirling about Cesaro possibly changing the U.S. title to the European title that the WWE used to have.
Cesaro was recently interviewed and the question was raised. To watch the video click here.
Seth’s Opinion
First of all, I love that Cesaro won the title. I had enough of Santino and his run as U.S. Champion/jobber. Second, I think it would be a good idea to change the U.S. title to the European Championship. Back in the late ’90s, the European title was seen as the midcard championship below the Intercontinental Championship. That is precisely how the U.S. title was just being treated so it would only make sense for the European Championship to be used as such. What do you think? Would you like to see the U.S. Championship changed to the European title?

I would love to see that “Very European” change 🙂

I don’t know, I’m not sold on Cesaro yet. This speaking different languages thing is silly, and he needs to not let Aksana talk, because I can never understand anything she says. Not a fan of his finisher, either. It’s almost a let down when he picks up his opponent and you expect a piledriver, but you just get a simple slam. Unless he really steps it up the US/European title won’t mean much more than it did with Santino, in my opinion.

Good to see you on here Shaman!
I guess it is a little silly, but it gets him a little heat which is good for a heel. We haven’t really seen him have time to shine yet. I watched some of his stuff in ROH and he was much more interesting in the ring.

It makes sense to do that IMO. They should and it is rightfully below the IC title.

Watch! He’ll find out that he and Santino are brothers or something.

Shaman, I understand your theory because I have not watched his stuff on ROH so I am still learning about him. Also, I agree that his finisher has to be one of the worst in WWE. But hopefully he makes the title relevant and makes himself relevant with it

It would be better as a set-up for a finisher.

Hmm, I might be interested in this happening. Can’t decide; US title has the lineage, but European has the nostalgia effect for me.

Ok, Here is what’s up.Skype had audio issues, and I aploigoze that I couldn’t catch everyone one of them. I spent a good couple of hours splicing the skips together (it was lag time, and I’m sure you guys have been victim to that in the past) and missed a few of them. Sorry about that guys, I’m working on a better option. I tried to equalize and compress the audio to alleviate the audio issues between John and I, which sounded and looked fine visually (I’m using Audacity for those who wondered) but some of them skipped out. I thought John’s speech pace was fine, but you guys are the listeners, so we can accommodate these issues.And as far as me as Evan Bourne: pretty hilarious. I am as tall as the dude, so it’s as much as you can expect I would say. I wanted to stay out of his answers for the most part, but as we said, it won’t be a Q and A every time. You will hear my commentary and opinions much more on the next one, so you guys can comment and disagree as much as you want 🙂 Yes, smiley face to that one.We are working on the bandwidth issue as of right now, so don’t worry guys. If you want a download of it right now, just email me and I will be happy to send you a link for a direct download. Everything will be smooth from here on out, I misunderestimated (I did indeed use that wonderful word) the demand for the show on your guys behalf, and we will we ready for the huge demand you guys have. Get ready for a revolution guys, for it is upon us. Well, on John’s behalf, I will be ready to pull anyone to a corner and give a shooting star. And by anyone, I mean no one.
