WWE MAIN EVENT 5.20.14

The show begins with the advocate of Cesaro in the ring, Paul Heyman. He introduces himself and is going to try something new. He spoke with his client in the back and realized that this event is called the Main Event. He suggests that we change the name of the show to Paul Heyman’s Main Event. He has a well kept secret, his client Brock Lesnar conquered Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. His other client Cesaro is guaranteed to be Raw, Smackdown, and the next Wrestlemania’s main event. He introduces the King of Swing, Cesaro. Cesaro chants break out. Heyman is trying to explain to Cesaro that the universe is full of wannabes. Cesaro is the finest European athlete ever. Cesaro was sure to get the hell of Europe for America once becoming a client of Paul Heyman. Heyman says Cesaro will prove himself to be the strongest athlete in the world not Mark Henry.

Mark Henry interrupts Heyman. Cesaro seems displeased by Henry’s appearance. Henry plays to the crowd to a good ovation. Henry says Heyman is done speaking when he says so. Henry don’t know if his hearing is correct, but he heard that Cesaro is the strongest man in the world. Henry says he is the only strongest man in the world, not miss swiss. Cesaro points to Henry’s chest and gets a bearhug for his troubles. Henry casually tosses him aside, as Cesaro seems pissed now.

Mark Henry makes his way to the ring first.

Heyman decides to speak before Cesaro enters the ring. He says we got off on the wrong foot and it is Heyman’s bad. Paul made a mistake which is very rare. Heyman wants to atone for his sin. That is what he does. He made a mistake on accepting this match. Cesaro has already beaten Mark Henry. Heyman makes subtle excuses for Henry while still saying Cesaro is better. The universe is more interested in finding out who is the stronger athlete. Heyman suggests an arm-wrestling contest. Henry says deal and that is what will happen. Henry takes apart the announce table. Paul says this is the third time he’s been wrong. Cesaro says our bluff, and Paul says well it is not a bluff. Don’t make us look ridiculous he says. Cesaro prepares to arm wrestle Henry and backs out. Cesaro talks strategy. Henry says we don’t have all night. Heyman says why not. Both men get in arm wrestling poses. Cesaro seems to be easily overpowered and Heyman distracts Henry. Cesaro blindsides Henry and throws the announce table at Henry. Paul says Cesaro won the arm wrestling contest and is the new the world’s strongest athlete.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Good show tonight. I generally do not like arm wrestling contests in wrestling, but the segment was entertaining. I actually have to say Aksana and Naomi had match of the night. Sandow and Truth was mostly boring until the end. The Cesaro and Henry segments were awesome. Good show but not an amazing show.
