We know Cesaro as The Swiss Superman, a wrestler with amazing strength, and incredible submissions skills. When he first came into WWE he was Antonio Cesaro and had Aksana as a manager. Before too long he lost the manager and the first name, and simply became Cesaro.

Before that, he won over fans in Ring of Honor, where he went by his real name of Claudio Castagnoli. However, he also went by something much stranger, and much more delicious in Chikara when he was known as “A Mysterious Ice Cream.”

However, he wasn’t the only ice cream man in the company, as he had tag partners in the Trios tournament with El Hijo del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr. It’s amazing that not only one man was given the name “Ice Cream” by their parents, but that there were three of them.

Luckily they found each other and mixed it up for one amazingly tasty treat.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
