Cesaro signs confiscated at NoC?

[Trip in the Head]

If this is true I find it to be utter BS on WWE's part

Cesaro signs were confiscated at Night Of Champions, according to multiple fan reports as noted byWrestling Inc.

The only explanation we’ve heard that makes any sense is this: Cesaro is being booked as the heel in his feud with Sheamus, and any visible fan support clearly detracts from those booking plans.

(Perhaps this is something Vince McMahon should have thought about before breaking kayfabe on the wrestling business several years ago?)

Fans already cheer against perennial face John Cena, and it can be quite confusing if you grew up watching in the days prior to the Attitude Era as to who are the good guys and the bad guys.

Essentially, wrestling fans have screwed up the very “sport” they fell in love with by refusing stars their traditional roles, a fact that Jim Ross and Cowboy Bill Watts lament about at length in the most recent episode of The Ross Report podcast.

Ross and Watts, however, place most of the blame on where Vince McMahon has taken the business because “there are no rules to break anymore.”

“How can you have a heel when there are no rules?” Ross remarked.

Watts, a former wrestler and promoter in the Mid-South territory, added that in the days of kayfabe — when wrestling was promoted as real — there was an element of “mystery” to the business, where fans didn’t believe everything they saw was “on the up-and-up,” but they believed enough of what they saw to suspend their disbelief.

Nowadays, fans just pull for the guy they think is cool regardless of creative direction.

Perhaps by removing the Cesaro signs, WWE was trying to cram the genie back in the bottle. However, at this point, that’s probably impossible.

Unless WWE just felt like being pricks a couple of nights ago (their behavior with this sort of thing isn't really consistent to be honest), I really doubt they confiscated the signs just because they didn't want fans supporting the heel. We're already way past that point by now. It was most likely because the fans themselves were being obnoxious, or because their signs were too large and blocking the view of people sitting behind them, or something similar.

How dare they bring Cesaro signs with them? Blasphemy!
:blackshock:

The all mighty Cena signs are only allowed.

No, seriously... Fuck you, WWE!

 

[Pop Tatari]

They have done this before, so it should not come as a surprise that they still do it.

Listen I totally understand it in some circumstances, but if the signs were taken solely because they supported Cesaro, that's some BS

so only Cesaro signs were big and obnoxious and they were jerks? No other fans who support another star signs were big, nor were they obnoxious? That doesn't make sense to me buddy.

It has to be because they want Sheamus seen as the big face.

I fail to see how it doesn't make sense. If no one except for a couple of Cesaro fans had any signs that were large enough and being held up constantly enough that they were continuously blocking people's views, then it makes sense why those signs might have been confiscated and none others. I didn't pay attention to most of the signs in the arena, mind you, so I'm just theorizing here.

Then again, this story may also just be complete bullshit.

very true. However, if they did in fact confiscate all Cesaro signs....I don't see it being because people's view was blocked or Cesaro fans (only) were being dicks. This seems like a stupid last minute Vince move if you ask me lol

People have had signs confiscated in the past for just those very reasons.

have people had signs confiscated because Vince didn't simply want them?....lol.....I guess it can go both ways....

Regardless, WWE confiscating signs after people paid their hard earned money is BS. You have he right to cheer/boo whomever you choose.

This is the same Vince McMahon who continued a PPV just minutes after one of his talents fell from the ceiling, bounced his mug off a wire and died within minutes.
Vince McMahon cares about nothing but money. The only thing he cares about more than making money is when he loses it.
