The first episode of Corey Graves' 'After The Bell' podcast was a strange blend of 30% kayfabe and 70% reality that needs to be fine tuned. The second pod was more of the same, although it did feature some stunning commentary on modern WWE life from none other than Cesaro.

Responding to comments Graves had made about Cesaro's promo limitations the prior week, the Swiss star said he wasn't really into talking at length on TV. In fact, he thinks that any wrestling fans who watch the product strictly for storylines and promos should "watch stand up comedy" instead. Ouch.

Cesaro believes that physical actions mean more to wrestling than words.

Hmm. He's entitled to his opinion, obviously, and there's merit to his focus on bell-to-bell, but it's a bit far to suggest that anyone who enjoys promos should seek alternative entertainment. Maybe he didn't see Cody's spine-tingling work on the latest AEW Dynamite.
