The greatest of the modern technicians is undoubtedly Cesaro.

A wrestler's wrestler who is as likely to take his opponent to the mat, frustrating him with chain wrestling and the occasional reversal as he is one of his punishing forearm uppercuts, Cesaro is a competitor who would fit into any generation and succeed in any era.

Not only can he take the action to the mat, wearing opponents down with submissions, he is also adept at suplexes, using everything from gut-wrenches to butterflies and the vaunted German. A well-traveled wrestler, he has spent years learning from the best, be it in America, Europe, Japan or Mexico. The result is a Superstar who has combined every move and hold that he learned along the way into the complete package and, perhaps, the finest wrestler in current day WWE.

A student of the game, Cesaro borrows popular holds and spots (including the giant swing) and gives them a modern twist, proving that he not only recognizes how to use the move and where to insert it in his skill set, but he also understands the importance of updating them for a modern audience.
