August 5, 2022

ROH World Heavyweight Champion Claudio Castagnoli was recently interviewed by Bleacher Report, where he discussed several topics. Among them were joining AEW, winning the ROH Heavyweight Championship, the future of the Blackpool Combat Club and more. Below are some highlights from the interview: On joining AEW and the matches that he had: “[Blood and Guts] was awesome in a way that I was thrown right into the fire,” he said. “It was a kind of trial by combat, so to speak. Trial by Blackpool Combat Club [laughs]. I wrestled Zack Sabre Jr. that Sunday in a very, very technical match. I think he’s probably one of, if not the, best technical wrestlers in the world. “And then there was the Blood and Guts match on Wednesday where I was in from the beginning to end. I’m always looking for challenges and that was definitely a big one. It’s so much fun to be in the ring with the Blackpool Combat Club. “I’ve only known Wheeler Yuta for about a month, but it feels way longer. Bryan Danielson..

Gotcha: WWE Stars Surprised By Claudio Castagnoli Signing With AEW

July 2, 2022

Shocking. There are two major wrestling promotions in the United States today, with AEW and WWE dominating the country’s industry. That means the companies are in competition with each other, especially when it comes to signing talent. Both companies bring in stars from elsewhere, and a recent signing of a former WWE wrestler to AEW has left some people surprised. Last weekend at Forbidden Door, former WWE star Claudio Castagnoli, formerly known as Cesaro, made his debut and defeated Zack Sabre Jr. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE stars were shocked at Castagnoli going to AEW due to the amount of money that WWE offered him. It was believed that AEW was no longer matching or exceeding WWE offers, though there is a possibility that Castagnoli moved for the sake of a chance at a push rather than money. Opinion: This is the kind of thing that is a bit of a surprise, especially if WWE was offering him that kind of money. Castagnoli has already made quite the impact in A..

Bryan Danielson Makes Major Health Announcement, Update On In-Ring Status

June 23, 2022

That’s good and bad. Injuries are one of the worst things that you can see take place in wrestling. You never know when you are going to see someone taken out of the ring due to getting hurt and that is always a bad thing.

Zack Sabre Jr. And Bryan Danielson: Shots Fired On Potential Matchup

September 24, 2021

Zack Sabre Jr defeated IWGP World Heavyweight champion Shingo Takagi on September 23. The match took place in the A-Block of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 Climax 31 tournament. Sabre made the champ tap out and once again established himself as a true force to be reckoned with in the company. The match itself was hard fought and yet another great example of what both men are capable of together. But the real news came afterward, when Sabre took the time to call out none other than The American Dragon, Bryan Danielson. His comments came just days after Danielson said he would love to face Zack in England. So is it now off to the races for Danielson versus Sabre?
