LIVING THE DOUBLE LIFE Mr. Candiotto Confirms He Is WWE Superstar ‘Cesaro’
By Nicole Fernandes They say that there are about seven people in the world that look like you. But if Hannah Montana has taught this generation anything, it’s that people can live double lives. On Monday March 27, hours before Monday Night Raw, Mr. Candiotto was caught entering Van Andel Arena in Michigan through the south entrance. Only WWE Superstars go through this entrance. His secret was out and there was no where to hide, Mr. Candiotto openly confessed his second identity to the Mary Ward Planet. He is WWE Superstar ‘Cesaro’. There is no denying that a handful of Mary Ward students were skeptical about the striking resemblances between Mr. Candiotto and the Swiss WWE Superstar before his confession. The only thing that stood in the way were his glasses, which he admitted were a cover up. “The glasses are fake,” he told the Planet. “They were a part of my disguise.”
Mr. Candiotto told the Planet that he kept his second identity a secret because he still wanted to maintain a normal lifestyle. “I didn’t want to be treated differently as a teacher,” he said. “Teaching is my second passion. I wanted to be known as Mr. Candiotto at Mary Ward, not that Swiss guy from WWE.”
Candiotta said. “But I believe everything happens for a reason.” The Mary Ward teacher also expressed his love for teaching. “I always enjoyed school,” he told the Planet. “I knew that if my wrestling career didn’t work out that I would become a teacher.”
