10 Wrestlers Claudio Castagnoli MUST Face In AEW
8. Orange Cassidy
When you think of Claudio Castagnoli, the first thing that comes to your mind is likely his technical in-ring wizardry. But, one thing people tend to overlook is his humour and creativity.
Vince McMahon once claimed he lacked "It factor", yet the man managed to make swinging people around one of the most over things in the industry. That's not just a sign of good wrestling skills but a showman who loves performing and having fun.
Even during his Forbidden Door entrance, he was goofing off with the camera guy, so why not give him a chance to clown around in an actual wrestling match? If you're going to do that, then there's only one freshly squeezed orange for the job.
Orange Cassidy is a wrestler like no other. His ability to tell hilarious and engaging stories is astonishing, and his Forbidden Door showdown with Will Ospreay is yet more proof of that.
If these two went at it, you could imagine them having a whale of a time. The spots would be creative, Cassidy could show off his underrated technical work, and Castagnoli could rub his comedy skills in his past employer's face.
