King Of The Ring
While I was screwing around on the main page, I came across an interview that Flair did in which he briefly discusses Cesaro. They talk about how to combat Cesaro's inexperience on the mic which got me thinking, "hm, Flair's always been a big fan of Cesaro, why not let Flair actually work as a mangager for Cesaro?" A real manager too, not just some legend who endorses a younger wrestler. So as I'm thinking this I read that Ric Flair's solution to Cesaro's lack of mic skills is "Dial 9-1-1 Naitch!" I don't know if this was just something said off the cuff or if Flair is actually pitching a scenario in which he manages Cesaro, but the more I think about it, the more I think it could work.
Cesaro's main criticism is that he lacks charisma and intensity. Well, Flair is brimming over with charisma and intensity. Another criticism is that he can't talk. Flair used to be one of the best mic workers int the business. He also lacks any sort of character. Flair was a master at perfecting his gimmick and he could work wonders for Cesaro's character if he were working the mic for him. In a perfect world, this would be a decade ago and Flair would still have all of his faculties but... what can you do.
This team could easily work as a face team or heel team, and Cesaro needs somebody who is wholly focused on him. Whereas Heyman had to build Brock while managing Cesaro, Flair would be able to dedicate all his time and energy to getting Cesaro over.
It's an odd pairing and my reasoning might be flawed, but I think these opposites would attract.
Thoughts?
