If you look at the Intercontinental Champion, historically, that has always belonged to the best of the best in-ring talent, the best wrestler, whatever you want to call it, that came out night after night, produced night after night - and that will be me.

I started at the bottom and worked my way up. I think that shows hard work pays off. A good thing takes a while.

Cesaro

I think you can learn from pretty much everybody if you just open your eyes.

Cesaro

You can't just copy someone. There are so many different styles that you can just kind of pick and choose whatever it is you'd like to do.

The Giant Swing is a throwback. I used it prior to WWE quite a bit. One of the days, I thought about bringing it back. It connected with the crowd. I've been doing it ever since.

Cesaro

Growing up in Switzerland, you learn German pretty much from day one in school. You learn French and Italian as well. I took English as an extra language because I figured that was the language of the world.

Cesaro

UFC, definitely not - I do not think that is a fit for me. I am looking forward to seeing CM Punk's UFC debut, and I hope he does really well. But it is not something that I want to do.

Cesaro

Austin's a great wrestling town. There's a lot of WWE fans when we get there, and they're always really loud.

Cesaro

In the '90s, there was a big wrestling boom in Switzerland with Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and all those guys. It was on television in Switzerland on a German TV station for a year or so. That's when I saw wrestling for the first time. I was in the fifth or sixth grade and was a fan of it right away.

Cesaro

There's always a transition if you go to a new territory or a new company or a new country or wherever because there's different styles and different crowds that you perform in front of. Of course, it always takes a little bit of time to find your groove.

Cesaro

Of course, to be WWE world champion is definitely on my list. Anybody who is not reaching for that proverbial brass ring is doing something wrong if they're in the WWE.

Cesaro

My style is different from everybody else's because I've traveled so much and wrestled in so many places. I took something from everywhere I went, and I think that WWE's most accomplished superstars have also done that in the past.

Cesaro

I learned a lot from Paul Heyman, and I thought we had a great time. I've now gone out on my own, but he is somebody whose advice I trust.

Cesaro

I like to try new stuff and experiment. That's why I think it's entertaining to watch my matches, because you never know what I'm going to do, and you see things that you've never seen before.

Cesaro

I was a big fan of Kurt Angle when I was growing up. Actually, his book is a big part of the reason that I work out so hard.

Cesaro

'SmackDown,' I feel, has more excitement than 'Raw,' even though 'Raw' is always branded as the flagship show.

Cesaro

You have to be extremely fit. It is a professional sport. We have five shows a week. In 2014, I had 220 matches; in 2015, I was on the way to a similar amount before I got hurt. It is a full-time lifestyle. It is very demanding.

Cesaro

I didn't come over with a comfy sponsor that took care of my visa and paid me a good amount of money right away. I came over here with nothing, the little bit of money that I had saved up, and it was struggle and plight to get some recognition and then finally make it to the WWE.

Cesaro

I have a lot of maneuvers in my back pocket, so to speak. And to me, the thing is to always surprise the audience so they're always seeing something new, and not just get stuck in the same rut.

Cesaro

In the ring, I'm probably the strongest WWE superstar.

Cesaro

I think I have faced pretty much everyone that is in the WWE.
