AEW star Claudio Castagnoli recently spoke with Denise Salcedo on a number of topics including how he was extremely close in competing in NJPW’s G1 Climax tournament and how he still wants to do the tournament and believes he owes that to NJPW.
Castagnoli said, “I was very excited. [Laughs] Right before I joined AEW, I was extremely close, probably a couple days away before doing the G1 for New Japan. I always want to do the G1, and I still owe them one, I feel like. So to do the Continental Classic, I was super excited.”
