"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
Swiss professional wrestler, Claudio Castagnoli aka Cesaro is one of the strongest wrestlers who ever competed in the WWE - according to the WWE authority on strength - Mark Henry himself. This is a bit strange because this tall with wiry muscles doesn't look that big, and yet he performs feats that are impossible for so many other big wrestlers. This is what is called functional strength.
About Cesaro's Real Height
Cesaro was billed by WWE as a 6'5" pro wrestler. Perhaps, it would be beneficial to mention that WWE always increases their wrestlers' height (and sometimes weight too) in order to make them look more intimidating - therefore Cesaro is most definitely not 6'5" just like The Rock isn't. The Rock himself was billed at 6'5" but was 6'3" in real life - though no more than 6'2.5" now.
Cesaro himself has claimed to be a modest yet impressive 6'4". After comparing this impressively strong pro wrestler to people like Seth Rollins (6'1"), Sheamus (6'2.5"), Randy Orton (6'4"), and some others, we think Cesaro is just under the much-coveted 6'4" mark - just a bit shorter than Randy Orton.
Where weight is concerned, the heaviest Cesaro has gotten to (on-season) is 240 pounds but 225-232 pounds is his regular weight.
The real height of Cesaro is
6'3.5" or 192 cm
