Canadian here saying Good Job !!
Brantford boy..
I was in the Business Trying to get signed from 97-2001
The toughest time ever, Being Canadian trying to cross border..Going back and forth from WCW , TO WWF, and ECW..
I was one of Terry Taylor's boys..
CONGRATULATIONS to you Chris!!
It's amazing Vince didn't think Claudio didn't have a personality. The interviews I've seen with him since leaving WWE, he's be very entertaining.
Vince generally has a pretty good idea what he is talking about
An interview is far different that portraying a caracter
Getting to ask Claudio about the Kings of Wrestling team with Chris Hero was an honor. Thank you, Chris and Malcolm!
This is great! Been supporting you for 7-8 years now and you just keep getting better, Chris 👏
Thanks so much SmarKDown!
Congrats, Chris! You *earned* that badass Starrcast stage!
Thanks Rufus!
@@ChrisVanVliet this was truly awesome! You are always very talented in these interviews.
Love his positive take on the Nicholas match, extremely humble dude
That match was absolutely pointless. Why have a kid on the show. He did not even have a terminal illness. It was done at the expense of claudio
Man Claudio is so down to earth nice guy
Saying he looks like Jason Statham is an insult, Statham so up his own where the sun down shine
Claudio reminds me of Wardlow both of them so humble
One of the top 5 Wrestlers of the past 15 years, deserves all the world titles at least once.
It's so nice to watch an interview with a crowd, makes it very special. Good job as always, Chris!
I remember not being a fan of the best of seven series, but by the end I was loving it. Like he said, the work was amazing, and then was a huge fan of The Bar. I’d like to see him return to WWE under HHH
Yeah hed probably have a decent run under hhh. WWE needs some fresh main eventers and a new champion my opinion. Roman feels played out. We get it they want him to break all modern records. Truth is it won't push Roman any further. Idk how long his contract is though or his age. I don't think tony wants to release guys anyway. A few of hhh guys asked for release they said.
I wasn't even actively watching at the time but I heard "Best of 7" and I went out of my way to watch every one of those matches. It's one of the best protected concepts in wrestling.
You guys have natural chemistry together. Claudio is the man!
About time Claudio wins the big one. So far all the former WWE stars that were AEW champions were WWE Champions at one point too. I would like to see guys like Claudio and Keith Lee in the spotlight.
I mean it's not the big one it's just one. I do agree he deserves better though. It is surprising he didnt get least one run. It will sound like a joke but I wondered if he had a full head of hair would he have got just that 1
ROH the big one? HAHAHAHAHA
What big one? 😂😂😂😂
He's such a vibrant guy, I absolutely love it. His positive energy is infectious.
The UFO is such a great move. It doesn't just require strength but a level of dexterity, agility & synchronicity. Momentum really does most of the job, but it's such a spectacular move that it deserves to be used so sparingly
Claudio seems to have some interesting perspectives I could listen to him talk for hours
I love Claudio.
Dude's so fucking awesome.
A chat years in the making, CVV. Glad it finally happened. Claudia's body of work is truly incredible. He says he forgets so many good matches he did, but that's what happens when you put on consistantly good matches every week. He's one of the most impressive performers in the business, and he's capable of working with anyone, and yes, I'd like to see the *Swiss Superman* in an iron man match.
Claudio's*
Thanks autocorrect.
Claudia is definitely a crazy chick
This is a good conversation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ChrisVanVliet There is a side to Cesaro that resonates well with fans, warm and charismatic. But it's not for Wrestling Action TV unfortunately.
Letssss gooo I always love the exclusive interviews Chris van vilet gets from these wrestlers both male and female, great stories all around both personally and professionally 🔥
Glad you enjoyed this one! More to come!
Cvv youtube channel is growing by the second it seems. Great to see. I will do my part in sharing it with others. 🇨🇦
Swiss cyborg,Swiss superman,the Bar,Great American,Antonio Cesaro,Cesaro,Claudio Castagnoli everybody.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, THANK YOU.
And thank YOU!
Been anticipating this! Thanks Criss
My favorite wrestling podcast period
Man i miss TJ, I wish he could come back to wrestle! He was very quickly becoming my favorite wrestler on the roster at the time.
Cesaro was so over here in France he was our super hero
Cheers Chris! Wonderful energy as always
His last tag match with Yuta vs JAS was amazing! He was an absolute monster in it!
Awesome interview 👊🏻👊🏻
Such a cool guy, fun off the ring but dominating on the ring! Surprised he didn't drop any of his dad jokes here haha. Missing the bar but i'm glad he is thriving on aew
16:45 damn right he was. Great interview as always by CVV! 🙌🏻
Betting on yourself done right 👍🏽
Honestly man you do amazing interviews. Keep it up! The coffee pricing was hilarious 😂 and made me more curious about it.
I still wonder.... how much exactly was that coffee maker? haha
Love Claudio! Such a Awesome guy!! 🙌🏾👏🏾💪🏾💜
Wonderful Interview 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for checking it out!
Trent Beretta would be a good match as well! Love the interview!
Such a Legend
Such a great guy👏👏
I've only found out about you and I gotta say you're a natural interviewer. You can tell you're a fan but you don't let the fan boy in you get in the way of a great interview.
I think Cesaro was one of the most underrated star in WWE but Mr McMahon never utilised him properly which leads to his departure from the company hopefully in future he'll return to wwe as now things have changed in WWE as WWE is run by Triple h now.
why should he leave aew?
@@lostinmyhead07 as WWE is under triple h now things have considerably changed in WWE.
what about Stephanie McMahon? Sorry if I don't follow WWE.
Always love your interviewers
Give us Claudio vs Kyle O Reily for 60mins
Best interview!
Big props to him for taking the Nicholas match for what it was and have fun with it.
for me, claudio and seth are the two ring of honor guys who retained what they had as performers from roh and grew creatively while at wwe. and their wrestlemania match was excellent.
Keep up the good work
FANTASTIC INTERVIEW WITH CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI CHRIS VAN VLIET 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I miss him and Seamus wrestling together. 🙌🏾👏🏾💜
34:19 Charles Robinson
I miss Cesaro man
20:35 Claudio / Cesaro is an awesome guy!! And gotta love Coffee 😊👌🏻.
Great guy!
I love Claudio so much man he was always so underused in wwe now that he’s roh champ he’s able to have banger after banger
Side note: I would love if one of the finishes for his title matches were if after a long match he just clobbers someone with an uppercut and get the pin. I think it’s over enough he could pull it off and it would be cool to have a simple move like that get over as a possible finish just because of how devastating it looks when he does it
Cvv the goat!!
Claudio Castagnoli the BEST WRESTLER in the BUSSINES
The 🐐
I still remember his match with John Cena on Raw 9years ago I guess wat a match it was
Was that an Elimination Chamber Qualifier match? If so i remember that one too
@@grimbelfix2648 possibly
we NEED DAPARTY back!!!
I think that was Vince's big problem at the end. He refused to give the fans the heels and baby faces that we wanted. Constantly forcing what he wanted instead.
The Audience of One.
31:30 I low-key would love to see Own immortalized in fight Forever so Claudio could get his wish. Claudio could easily wrestle until he is 50.
Lol, he needs 2 bottles + 1 cup.🤣
(I guess water, protein shake, coffee)
Was that Michelle Green from OVW asking the question to Swiss? Remember her being Swiss
It’s Dalton Derrick!!!!!
Is that Strowman interview ever gonna come out
Desire
Dedication
Hard work
I gotta say I'm curious that if when Claudio contract was close to ending and Vince stepping down happened sooner, would we still be seeing Claudio in AEW or does he stay in WWE an get a run that was long overdue 🤔.
That's a very good question because he was treated well in NXT but, he's had huge success in AEW so far. It really is going to be one of those questions I'll always want the answer too now.
Finally
he really is the swedish superman. great interview. thank you. im glad to hear from claudio after he left the wwe. he is such a good wrestler. he needs to take that aew world title
he really is not the swedish superman. He is swiss not swedish.
As much as I enjoyed the Bar, I will always be disappointed that we didn't get Cesaro vs Brock Lesnar, or Cesaro/Sheamus/Brock triple threat.
I've always liked Claudio and now I love him. Great guy very humble and one hell of a wrestler
Is that Phoenix nitro?
Cesaro is fucking awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love cvv and I love cesaro
🙏🙌
When Claudio broke Up With Hager He was so over. They should have turned him Face. Well they actually did for a week or so. Then Put Heyman to him and turning him.heel once again Killed all the momentum and Claudio never reached that high again in WWE
Cesaro is Portuguese 🇵🇹
Is it me or is the video keep flickering it's annoying
At 25:10 , I thought Mark Henry was the strongest wrestler?
Big Show told me that John Cena was hands down the strongest wrestler
@@ChrisVanVliet In functional way Big show thinks that Cena is the strongest. The strongest pro wrestler is undoubtedly Mark Henry.
Seriously though. How do you keep smiling & keep it the whole way through? Also have you've ever met Michael Landsberg?
Dang Zero comments
👏
Antonio Cesaro
one time when shootrening the name was a good choice
Dedicated person, hook us with some time stamps?
that is the smallest cup of coffee i have ever seen
it's an espresso, they're supposed to served in small cup coz it's a very strong coffee.
But Cesaro was one of our favorites and he showed good promo mic skills against R truth the Miz calling him a chipmunk, anyway Vince missed and hopefully aew does the right thing with this man
Dalt from vybe
😎👍
have to be impressed the he got married and became a dad and none in the wrestling media talked about it
Agreed this is awesome , chant is cheesy , so is you deserve it chant , it used to be special , now they do it for everything .
WWE is not about the work, it's about the characters, the drama. It's a soap opera with a bit of wrestling. A guy like Castagnoli can never hit the upper echelon in an organization like that. AEW/ ROH flip that formula to where the matches are the main attraction with a little bit of story. They let the work speak louder.
HEEEEEY
When people mention mark henry they dont care that’s sad
I'm a fan of this man but the problem is claudio does have that American ratchet over the top cursing type charisma which Vince was kinda looking for from thel Ruthless Aggression era or Attitude Era...
I'm kinda seeing what vinnymac was talking about in that stone cold podcast! He doesn't look or feel comfortable doing this. No, Claudio struggles with this kinda thing! He's great at wrestling, but promos and media stuff, it's not clicking with me.
He's always had this handicap to be honest
He would have definitely stayed if HHH became head of creative earlier.
A lot of people would have. Luckily for AEW it didn't happen earlier.
Claudio was way too appropriate & proper for Vince's taste...
Honestly it's sad that he had to go to the B company and get their C title. The man deserves at least one real run on top to prove himself as a legit player.
Vince was not looking for class & appropriateness which Claudio presented, it was too square to Vince...
There's definitely many strongman stronger than Mark Henry. Big Z is the GOAT, Brian Shaw a close 2nd, etc. That being said, pound for pound is such a dumb term to use as strength isn't obviously linear and smaller people are gonna be more proportionally stronger than heavier men. Bones can only do so much for your strength
I love Claudio, but god damn does he have some of the crappiest theme songs ever lmao
Clash Royale
i hate yr positive spin on everything best promo cesero 5 rings
