You must mean the new European champion, Antonio Cesaro. Hope he brings back Attitude era Euro belt.

If history is any indication, prepare to witness Antonio job like never before.

  Good point. With the exception of Ziggler, the last couple of US title holders jobbed a lot.

I'm not too surprised by this since Santino had been in the doghouse for complaining to the WWE along with JTG.

I really don't like Cesaro's finisher. Just seems wasteful to use the cradle, much easier to lift like a standard piledriver & then hit the move.

Santino does not deserve anymore titles. I mean his finisher for god sakes c’mon wwe stop investing in Jokes. Now we might get a decent us title fued with like rey or ryback

With Ohno and Del Rey coming into WWE, I was hoping they'd put them with Antonio like they had in ROH. Would have been awesome.
