5. Bret Hart Says Cesaro’s Finishing Move Is Bull$hit
During a recent edition of the Sharpshooter Show, WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hitman” Hart talked about Cesaro performing the Sharpshooter, his match with Kevin Owens on Raw, Cesaro’s finishing move & more. Below are the highlights:
On Cesaro’s execution of the Sharpshooter on this past week’s episode of RAW:
“I think Cesaro did an excellent job putting that Sharpshooter on. It was nice and smooth. Feet wide apart. Everything was perfectly done. I think he could have shown Shane a weeks ago who didn’t seem to put it on very well. I think from the angle that he tried to put it on, if anything, you can commend Shane from trying to put it on from that angle that he did. Cesaro did a good job with it last night. There’s been a few wrestlers that have been putting on the Sharpshooter. I kind of made a complaint about it a few days ago about how the Sharpshooter doesn’t seem to work anymore. It’s just one of those holds that suddenly in the last 3-4 years every wrestler’s back has gotten so much stronger. It doesn’t register anymore. Suddenly it’s like a useless hold that everyone crawls to the ropes right away.
I’m glad that Cesaro keeps respect for those kind of holds. Same with Steve Austin’s stunner and certain moves that guys do that have a history and tradition behind them. If someone else is going to start using that move they should use it out of taste and respect for what that hold meant to the wrestler who created it or built it.”
On Natalya’s use of the Sharpshooter:
“It seems like every time Nattie puts it on someone they crawl right to the ropes. Or they roll out of it and do a sunset flip out of it or something.”
On Cesaro’s match with Kevin Owens on last week’s Raw:
“I really liked Cesaro’s match. It built and built and built and then what they used to actually win the match, the actual move he used to cover him for the 1-2-3,The Neutralizer, was such a bull$hit move.
You pick somebody up and you drop them about six inches to the ground on their belly. You pin them. Then he does a flying smash uppercut that he does that looks so great. All of these other moves that they both did back and forth that looked so good.”
4. Kane Gives His Views on Daniel Bryan’s Retirement Speech
During a recent interview with Crave Online, former WWF Champion Kane gave his views on Daniel Bryan’s retirement speech:
[showhide more_text=”Read More” less_text=”Read Less”]“It’s one of those things where on two different levels, as a fan of WWE it’s tragic because you’re not going to see a person perform anymore when they’re in the prime of their career. On a personal level, it’s bittersweet because again, Bryan Danielson is very passionate and that was his dream, to be in the big leagues and to be an international superstar. He achieved it but unfortunately it was cut short and he didn’t live it as much as he wanted to but on the other hand, you knew it was really best for him as a human being.
When he said that nice stuff about me in that promo, that was where I was like ‘I can’t watch this anymore’ because I don’t like having those sort of emotions [laughs]. It was mostly bittersweet.”
