#3. Cesaro

Sharpshooter vs Crippler Crossface

When it comes to in-ring skills, Cesaro is probably the one guy on the roster that matches up with what Chris Benoit brought to the table. His attacks are no-nonsense, he hits hard, and he is always reliable. Unlike Benoit, however, the "Swiss Cyborg" has made plenty of attempts to add some personality to his character - and sometimes those attempts even worked!

In this parallel universe, Benoit is still on the roster in 2012 when Cesaro makes his debut on the main roster. If WWE at this point in time wanted to position Cesaro as a badass, having someone like the Rabid Wolverine put him over would have been a fantastic way to go. German Suplex vs European Uppercut. The Sharpshooter vs The Crippler Crossface. The Cesaro Swing vs... er... how many signature moves did Benoit have, anyway?

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

WWE has clearly seen something in Cesaro over the years - just look at his Andre The Giant Battle Royale win at WrestleMania XXX, for example - but for one reason or another, never really pulled the trigger all the way.
