• Cesaro Turned Down A Big Move WWE Officials Asked Him To Do

Former United States Champion “The Swiss Superman” Cesaro has performed his impressive Cesaro Swing on The Great Khali (420 lbs), but he refused to try it on The Big Show (500 lbs).

During a recent appearance on The New Day’s podcast, Cesaro revealed that WWE officials wanted him to swing The Big Show, but he turned that idea down because it was impossible:

“I know that for stuff that I think has a chance of failing, like a 75% chance of coming off clean, there’s a back-up plan. I remember one time where they wanted me to swing Big Show and that’s just impossible. He leaned out a little bit now, but at that point it was just impossible.”
