Dubbed the Swiss Superman for his extraordinary feats of strength, Cesaro drops by the Gulf News office for a quick but revealing interview to promote the upcoming WWE Dune Bash.
Since the April event is weeks away, we ask Cesaro his thoughts about the looming headliner this coming ‘Fastlane’ on February 21. The WWE PPV features a brawl between Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar. He believes Ambrose will win over Reigns and Lesnar and become No 1 contender for the championship because “…he’s crazy. You can never count him out. He keeps getting up and he’s very wily as well, so he’ll find a way to win”.
Similar to his description of Ambrose, Cesaro himself is one tough customer when he enters the squared-circle. The guy is so strong that he always comes up in the discussion of pound-for-pound strongest wrestlers to ever lace their boots. He has body-slammed a 500lb giant in The Big Show and he’s tossed the monstrous Ryback into the air for his signature VEU, which stands for ‘Very European Uppercut’.
Given that picture, you can imagine Cesaro is usually the one dishing out the punishment. But when tabloid! asks him who among the Superstars gives him his roughest times in the ring, his comments provide further evidence to fan observation about several individuals who share his passion for hard-hitting action. “I pick Sheamus, Daniel Bryan and I pick Big Show” he says.
Get to know what Cesaro thinks of former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan’s early retirement and more in the video on gulfnews.com.
