5 Awesome WWE Survivor Series Moments and 5 That Sucked

1. Cesaro vs R-Truth = Dud

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOt8GpMKTC4&t=47m50s Antonio Cesaro's United States title run is on a fast track to becoming extremely underwhelming, considering the massive wave of support that he came into the WWE on, quickly picking up the strap, and then not really being given much to do. The former Ring of Honour star has been booked in consistently drab bouts that fail to take advantage of his skills, though one expected that playing opposite R-Truth might have given him something substantial to work with; as it turns out, it didn't. Largely, the problem is with his character; the WWE resort to the same stereotypes they do every time a foreign wrestler debuts, whereby he's represented as the "Other", who mocks Americans and gets cheap heat as a result. Cesaro is a great performer under the right circumstances, but the WWE just haven't found the right way to harness it. Instead, they're keen on following their boring, tired method of introducing overseas talent, and his match with R-Truth, from crowd response upwards, suffered completely.
