It's Twitter Request Line time, everyone! I take to Twitter to get questions about issues in wrestling, past and present, and answer them on here because 140 characters can't restrain me, fool! If you don't know already, follow me @tholzerman, especially around Friday night after Smackdown, and wait for the call. Or don't wait for it actually. I'll try to get everything for this feature no matter when in the week you shoot me the Tweet. Anyway, here we go.

First up, @rancho_king33 asks a true or false question: Antonio Cesaro should have been the next Paul Heyman guy.

False. Cesaro is meant for bigger and better things as a good guy as signaled by his recent rash of Giant Swingings. That kind of strength can't stay rudo forever, and for him to work as a heel, he'd have to restrain himself. That all being said, Curtis Axel isn't really that bad a choice as the Paul Heyman guy, but he certainly wasn't the next star waiting to be loosed from the gates. The booking hasn't done him many favors; putting him out there to be lost in the swelling tide of Triple H's awful overacting was the first mistake. However, while I think he's an above average hand with some raw potential in terms of charisma, I'm not sure he's the guy you put with Heyman, a main event manager, to jump start his clientele.
