Cesaro vs. Mansoor

[9.0] "It turned out to be a real fun and fantastic match and Cesaro definitely gave Mansoor the match of his career here."

[5.0] "Claudio gives Mansoor the match of his career to avoid being held hostage by a foreign nation, fails. Technically this was fine and I'm sure it would've been great in front of a regular crowd, but putting it in front of this crowd hampers any enthusiasm."

[8.0] "This is a really good match I think that cesaro is a great wrestler and this shows that mansoor is a pretty good wrestler this is one of the best saudi arabia ppv matches their is it is a very fun and fast paced match I really enjoyed it was pretty fun to watch. ****"

[8.0] "This match proved that Mansoor can be more than just a special attraction for the Saudi shows, he proved himself here to be a really good wrestler."

[8.0] "I remember having my expectations pretty low for this but both men worked very hard and delivered what was a pretty damn great match. The action was very solid, and the crowd was red hot for Mansoor. They use this to their advantage and work the crowd in a unique way that is rarely done nowadays. Really recommended and goes to show you again why Cesaro is arguably the greatest wrestler in the world today. [***3/4]"

[7.0] "Match of the night, without a doubt, but that's not really relevant since all the matches were at a pretty poor level. Credit to Cesaro, who has become a glorified jobber, for the way he put over Mansoor. Besides, he actually looked promising, I figured since he's not showing up on NXT, he's not much to look at in the ring."

[8.0] "This was a very good match between Cesaro and Mansoor here, exactly what it was supposed to be with Cesaro making Mansoor shine like no one else has. Ziggler tried at the next Saudi PPV, but he couldn't do any better as Cesaro had set the bar so high that night to put Mansoor in the spotlight. I remember people complaining at the time that Cesaro was sacrificed to lose to someone who was only seen at the Saudi shows, but let's be honest, he did his job incredibly well. His one and only task was to make Mansoor shine and we can say that it's a successful mission, he was a perfect heel in front of the hometown's hero crowd, he played with the nerves of the Saudis and it's rare that we have a Saudi crowd so invested in a match that said. Mansoor was a fantastic babyface too with gold facial expressions, cool comebacks and I liked his strategy which consisted in making Cesaro angry because he underestimated him and thought he was bad. There were some excellent sequences, good moves and great nearfalls, this match ruled."

[7.0] "My goodness, Mansoor can pull some very ridiculous faces. Anyway, Cesaro is great and he helped this guy along to what is surely the match of his career so far, even if it had way too much sitting around shocked after every 2 count."

[8.0] "It's not an amazing match, but it's still a pretty good one. The crowd was really into it which really added a lot to its enjoyment. The winner was pretty obvious though, which slightly detracted from the moment."

[7.0] "This was a surprisingly good match. Crowd was crazy behind their hometown hero who actually put on a good show."

[5.0] "Adequate Match. Good underdog story, great crow reaction, but apart from the finish sequence the action wasnŽt anything special."

[7.0] "You know, for a match where a wrestler is pushed just because of his origins, it was actually quite a really good one. I mean, no disrespect to Mansoor but considering the strategy used by the WWE, i can't be the only one who feared that he might be another Jinder. Thankfully, Mansoor is miles better than him : while his attacks aren't necessary the best, he's athletic, has a nice moveset and has good facial expressions. He's not perfect (nobody needs to be) but he didn't seem out of place and considering he was working with Cesaro (who couldn't give a bad performance even his life was on the line), it's quite an achievement. Overall, it's not a classic but it was still a really good match and the crowd was hot for it. If you only had to watch one match on this card, that's the one : it's a good showcase for Mansoor and another good match from Cesaro."

[6.0] "It is a good match with a nice telled story. Cesaro underestimates his rookie opponent in the first part and this one shines e wins in front of his crowd. Cesaro works very well getting over his opponent, that is good, but he seems green. In fact his moves are not too credible and his facial expressions have to improve. I don't like the final with a bad position. ***1/2"

[7.0] "Cesaro is far too good to be putting over bums even if it does earn the company millions and millions of dollars. The Swiss Super Man was again superb. He went through almost all of his moveset and sold Mansoor's sloppy attacks like the ultimate pro he is. Cesaro is just too good at making opponents look strong that that has become his role. It is a massive waste of the most complete wrestler on the roster."

[8.0] "Totally Unexpected for me, surely wins the MOTN honors. This was a blast to watch. I had never seen Mansoor wrestle in a one on one match before(except for one squash match on Nxt). A really good action packed match. Mansoor's got a nice moveset, and Cesaro is Cesaro. The winner was expected, the match quality was not. Excellent match! ***3/4"
