right... so Claudio Castagnoli just signed up to FCW. I've never seen him in action before. So could you nominate his best matches/promos to help me know him a little better?

 

[ddog121]

vs. Mike Quackenbush- CHIKARA Negative Balance
vs. Alex Shelley- This Means War
Kings of Wrestling vs. Briscoes- Final Battle 06
Claudio and Matt Sydal vs. Briscoes- Respect is Earned
vs. Matt Sydal- Driven 2007
vs. Bryan Danielson- Northern Navigation
vs. Nigel McGuinness- New Horizons
vs. Eddie Kingston- Three Fisted Tales
Kings of Wrestling vs. Briscoes- Big Bang
vs. El Generico- Kurt Russelreunion II

Yet you have seen YAMATO? That's weird. Best match would probably be against Bryan Danielson at Northern Navigation and his best match recently for me would be against Davey Richards at Defy or Deny. Others will most likely say Claudio vs Generico at Kurt Russelmania for the PWG promotion. His best tag match recently is himself & Hero vs Takashi Morishima & Taniguchi. Claudio doesn't have a best promo. All these matches I'm listing are pretty more recent or just with names you might be familiar with. A great match with Claudio w/hair though would be against Quackenbush.

Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling Podcast #48: Claudio Castgnoli

I'm using the same green-card-lottery-company as he did, but had no luck so far

 

[Fighter Daron]

His best match is clearly vs El Generico (Race to the Top Tournament 2007 N2){ROH}.

 

[SHIRLEY]

Other than the many awesome clips on Youtube, your best introduction might well be his match with Tyler Black (Seth Rollins), from ROH 'Bluegrass Brawl' or one of the Kings of Wrestling's matches with Haas & Benjamin - ROH 'Glory By Honor IX', for example. You're more likely to be familiar with those opponents.

He had a feud with Bryan Danielson a few years back too.

Claudio has a surprisingly lack of MV's
