Antonio Cesaro aka Claudio Castagnoli worked very hard to get to WWE and has earned the chance to make the US Title mean something again. He is a beast as shown by his ability to hoist up Brodus Clay and faceplant him with ease. There will hopefully be an Antonio Cesaro/Kassius Ohno vs. Daniel Bryan/Kane match in the near future. That would be all kinds of goodness.
His first match in the US was for IWA Mid-South. I got the opportunity to manage him in one of the funniest matches I have ever seen. Claudio, Chris Candido, Nigel McGuinness and Steve Stone vs. CM Punk, Evan Bourne, Ace Steel and Danny Daniels at the 2004 Strong Style Tournament.
