In the ring, I'm probably the strongest WWE superstar.
— Cesaro
I'm a huge fan of Don Leo Jonathan. I love that era of wrestling.
People hide behind fake names to tweet negative comments, and I hate that. If you have something to say, own up to it.
UFC, definitely not - I do not think that is a fit for me. I am looking forward to seeing CM Punk's UFC debut, and I hope he does really well. But it is not something that I want to do.
There is nothing like WWE live.
If you're teaming with someone like Sheamus, it's obviously a lot of fun.
I feel like everything in WWE I earn the hard way.
The moment I found out I was teaming with Sheamus was the moment the fans did.
I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I think that shows hard work pays off. A good thing takes a while.
I try to work out whenever I can.
I am not that big of a fantasy person. I prefer myself to think of living in the real world.
I was told I have to work 10 years to get a doctorate. Well, I have worked all that time to become a doctor in professional wrestling. So to speak, I have a Ph.D. in professional wrestling.
I have a lot of maneuvers in my back pocket, so to speak. And to me, the thing is to always surprise the audience so they're always seeing something new, and not just get stuck in the same rut.
My style is different from everybody else's because I've traveled so much and wrestled in so many places. I took something from everywhere I went, and I think that WWE's most accomplished superstars have also done that in the past.
I like to try new stuff and experiment. That's why I think it's entertaining to watch my matches, because you never know what I'm going to do, and you see things that you've never seen before.
Austin's a great wrestling town. There's a lot of WWE fans when we get there, and they're always really loud.
Chikara is very fun-oriented. It's its own universe, but the fans are all in on it.
To me, it's not all about how much weight you can lift in the weight room. It's how you can manipulate weight in the ring.
I learned a lot from Paul Heyman, and I thought we had a great time. I've now gone out on my own, but he is somebody whose advice I trust.
You shouldn't say things on social media that you wouldn't say to someone's face.
You have to be extremely fit. It is a professional sport. We have five shows a week. In 2014, I had 220 matches; in 2015, I was on the way to a similar amount before I got hurt. It is a full-time lifestyle. It is very demanding.
In my opinion, tag team wrestling is absolutely fantastic. It's very exciting, and I just wish it would be given a bigger chance and platform, especially at 'SmackDown.'
'SmackDown,' I feel, has more excitement than 'Raw,' even though 'Raw' is always branded as the flagship show.
I was lucky enough to have many different tag partners.
The Giant Swing is a throwback. I used it prior to WWE quite a bit. One of the days, I thought about bringing it back. It connected with the crowd. I've been doing it ever since.
I think every person that brings a beach ball into a WWE arena should get ejected for life.
There's a place called Chipotle in the U.S. It's Mexican food where everything is made to order; you can get some rice, black beans, and meat. That's what I eat three times a day.
The last time I was in Abu Dhabi, I had a blast. I went jet-skiing in the Arabian Gulf, I went to Ferrari World, and went to Sheikh Zayed Mosque. I just enjoyed the city and the life. It was just amazing, and I am really looking forward to coming back.
If the audience likes and appreciates a move, it gives the wrestlers in a ring a little bit of extra energy, and you can always use that.
When I go to different countries, I want to know how to at least say hello and thank you. Language is a great hobby.
I was trained to be more technical in Europe because that's the audience. They enjoy a more technical style.
I made a little name for myself in Europe, but when I moved to the United States, I had to start all over again.
You only get one chance to make the first impression. And I made the biggest first impression ever by throwing the Big Show over the top rope.
I just think we need to have a little sense of humor about yourself and just live and learn, take some chances.
To some people, being in the business only starts when you're in the WWE. So I guess for those people, I'm kind of an overnight sensation.
I'm sick of seeing John Cena against Randy Orton for the 500th time.
There are many Superstars - past and present - I would love to get in the Swing.
I know the WWE is popular, but it is extremely popular here in the Middle East and the U.A.E.
I feel 'SmackDown' has the absolute best tag teams in the world: we have us; we have The New Day. We have the Usos. We have The Club. We have Sanity. We have the Hardys. We have Rusev and Nakamura.
I always have to prove people wrong, and I'll continue exactly that.
Sheamus and I did have a rivalry and then became a team, and we went from being work acquaintances to becoming best friends.
I'm a really big fan of the history of wrestling.
Hard work pays off if you stay true to yourself and dedicated.
I always bring a post-workout protein shake with me and some cereal for the mornings.
The Hardys have such a huge following.
I'm not just cookie-cutter. You always see something different.
Growing up in Switzerland, you learn German pretty much from day one in school. You learn French and Italian as well. I took English as an extra language because I figured that was the language of the world.
We take care of each other. I took care of Sheamus when he had a hole in his head - and he took care of me when I had no teeth.
I didn't come over with a comfy sponsor that took care of my visa and paid me a good amount of money right away. I came over here with nothing, the little bit of money that I had saved up, and it was struggle and plight to get some recognition and then finally make it to the WWE.
I just want to do as good as I can. What that is, I don't know.
