We hear from Ring of Honor World Champion Claudio Castagnoli
We hear from Ring of Honor World Champion Claudio Castagnoli. Castagnoli says he’s heard the whispers of people asking where he is. Claudio says just because you don’t see him doesn’t mean he’s not there. Castagnoli says Kingston, Briscoe, PAC, and others aren’t at his level.
Claudio says he’s a different world champion this time around. The champion reflects on losing the title to Chris Jericho and what it did to him. Claudio says his love and passion for wrestling was a burden. He believes his new goal is to keep people like Kingston, Briscoe, and PAC away from the Ring of Honor World Championship.
Castagnoli says he no longer has any personal attachment to wrestling, it’s just a job to him now. Claudio says if someone hopes to take the title from him, they need to be better than him.
.@ClaudioCSRO speaks candidly about what the ROH World Title means to him and his legacy in Ring of Honor.
