10 Wrestlers You Should Be Most Thankful For This Year

10. Cesaro

2015 has been a year of ups and downs for Cesaro - he's been a Tag Team Champion and a floundering midcarder, a babyface and a heel, a superstar on the verge of breaking out and a frustrated member of the disabled list. Still, one thing's been consistent about Cesaro - every time he's in the ring, it's a revelation. The Swiss Superman has long had a reputation as one of the most talented workers in wrestling, and turning babyface - and having a couple of classic Raw bouts with John Cena - has allowed him to finally cement that perception in the minds of the larger WWE Universe. While WWE's reticence to push him means that he hasn't fully escaped from the stigma of being a guy who can't grasp the proverbial brass ring, he'll undoubtedly continue to put on some of the company's best matches - and hopefully, change a few minds in high places. Recently, a shoulder injury has put Cesaro on the shelf, giving him an estimated recovery time of four to six months. While that's a major blow for the former United States Champion and his fans, he'll undoubtedly be back in action in 2016, making us all grateful once again.
