Swiss Mister

Before joining Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) and WWE's Smack Down, where his name was changed to Antonio Cesaro, Claudio Castagnoli made the rounds of the indie circuit, wrestling for companies like Chikara, Ring Of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerrila and Pro Wrestling NOAH (Japan). Here are some file photos from blog reader John's collection of the 31 year old, 6 ft. 5 in., 235 pound Swiss-born wrestler from his pre-WWE days.

Yup, That's Claudio with hair.
