Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Breakthrough Stars of 2012

December 3, 2012

Number 5: Antonio Cesaro (Justin LaBar’s 1st Place Vote)

When Aksana was dropped from Antonio Cesaro, I was worried that this excellent talent would falter in a quick way. Instead, Cesaro got an opportunity and now has held the United States Championship for well over 100 days. With his impressive physique and unique offensive attack, Cesaro is one of my favorites in the WWE .He has been excellent in high profile matches, most notably in a match against Sheamus a few weeks ago. Cesaro continues to do things that impress me, including an uppercut that catches his opponent in mid air. His ability to make simple moves complex is something great to watch. Look for Antonio to continue his character development in 2013, and capture a World Championship. This is my early pick for Mr. Money in the Bank.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.
Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years.

Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
