Antonio Cesaro debuted on Monday Night Raw on April 20th, 2012.
The real name of the Swiss Superman is Claudio Castagnoli and is originally from Lucerne, Switzerland. Originally trained by SigMasta Rappo (Pascal Signer), he debuted in Westside Extreme Wrestling (Germany) with a japanese gimmick before quickly switching to a Swiss banker forming the "Swiss Money Holder" tag team.
After receiving training from Dave Taylor in England, he came to the US (getting a green card in 2004) and competed regularly in Ring of Honor and Chikara, while training alongside Chris Hero (Chris Spradlin).
Castagnoli, Cannon (couldn't identify who), and Chris Hero formed the Kings of Wrestling faction. Kings of Wrestling would would win the Chickara tag team titles, the Combat Zone Wrestling tag titles, and Ring of Honor tag titles. Castagnoli actually signed to WWE in 2006, but was shortly after dropped.
Later, Castagnoli joined Team Uppercut, with Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) and Dave Taylor.
In September 2011, Castagnoli signed a contract with WWE and joined Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), under the name Antonio Cesaro, and eventually debuting on Raw.
Here is a youtube video (not mine, credit goes to that glorious bastard) of his top 10 moves:
Here is a match of his with Daniel Bryan and one of his with Sami Zayn:
Enjoy.
