15 Great Wrestlers Lost In WWE's Mid-Card

2. Cesaro

There are few wrestlers in the entire world more skilled in their line of work than Cesaro. That may seem like a loaded statement but one look at his in-ring work over the last two years suggests that the Swiss Superman may very well be the best worker in the industry. He has demonstrated the ability to have a Match of the Year candidate with fellow Ring of Honor alumni Sami Zayn or sports entertainer extraordinaire John Cena. Most of all, he does the little things well and remains perpetually over despite some truly pathetic booking on the part of WWE Creative. Cesaro's victory in the inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX should have been the start of some monstrous push for the international star. Instead, it was the height of his otherwise disappointing 2014, a year that saw him hurt significantly by his relationship with Paul Heyman rather than aided by it, and left to waste away as a celebrated enhancement act for Superstars on the receiving end of pushes. Now one-half of the WWE Tag Team champions alongside Tyson Kidd, it is obvious that Cesaro deserves more than he currently has. He is so much better than the competitors he shares the ring with. When he competes against the John Cenas and Randy Ortons of the world, he looks at home, easily capable of beating those two industry giants. Is he the most adept talker in the world? Of course not. But that does not change the fact that he is one of the handful of stars capable of working with every wrestler on the roster, regardless of their skills or abilities, and still pull from them a great wrestling match. Another in that same vein occupies the No. 1 spot on this list.
