One of the dark clouds over Cesaro in his WWE career was a very damning evaluation from Vince McMahon that went public on Steve Austin’s Stone Cold Sessions on the WWE Network.
Cesaro had a chance to look back on that during his time as a guest on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette, and he talked about how perhaps Vince was wrong in that he failed to grab the brass ring. He feels that considering he’s still very much employed by the WWE proves he’s got what it takes to succeed in the company.
“I’m still here, we’re like almost seven years later, and I’m still here and I’m doing well. That just speaks for itself. Again, that’s one of those [things] that I feel actions speak louder than words because there’s a lot of people that can come out the next day and go public or on Twitter or whatever, and be like, [mocks a rambling rant], and I said that Talking Smack promo that I did would not have worked 5 years ago.”
“It worked now because people see my body of work and they know that what I say is not just what I believe in but also what I live by and what I do every day. I’m not the one that says like, ‘I work really hard. I train every day’ No, they’ve seen me on TV and off TV for the last eight or nine years doing it all the time, every time. So, I feel like actions do speak louder than words, and if you actually say something that just backed it up. I was always under the impression that I don’t want to be the one that’s cheerleading myself, that’s just lame. I’m just not that guy. It’s very kind when other people say it but that’s why I feel like there’s so much pressure on me because so many people believe in me and I do not want to let them down. I do not want to let my friends down who helped me. There’s a lot of people who either put in a good word about me or spoke nicely about me. I don’t want to let those people down.”
Cesaro knows the pressure is on to perform this weekend at WrestleMania when he goes one on one with Seth Rollins for his first ever singles match. In a career where his biggest WrestleMania moments involve winning the first Andre the Giant Battle Royal and losing to Braun Strowman and a child for the WWE Tag Team Titles, Cesaro has a chance to write his own history and create a whole new moment this weekend at WrestleMania.
