The Top Ten Moves of Claudio Castagnoli

[Metal3011]

Too many uppercuts for a top ten moves list

[EzequielVelez]

Swiss Death is my favorite move from Claudio Castagnoli.

[LowGMan]

Hey Mr. Starbuck, I sooooo hope so. This guy has really grown on me the past several years I ve watched footage of his matches. If they even let him do half of his move set shown on this, including the not featured UFO, it would be great. My only concern is mike skills....but that is only 'cause that seems to be all that the majors are concerned with.

[EzequielVelez]

Claudio Castagnoli is the very BEST at European uppercuts.

[mhstarbuck]

in 2 years we will hear this...the winner and the new WWE champion Antonio Cesaroooooooooooooooooooo

[ChicagoMadePunk09]

Holy shit that was Eurpoean

[JimScythe]

Watch the wwe make him the bodyguard of Santino in the future after all of this CM Punk steam goes down

[stonecold97nh]

@SadisticScott yes cause claudio castagnoli ist from europe !

[stonecold97nh]

EUROPE RULES!!! xD

[stoningtonj]

He'll get to use 2 or 3 of those moves next year when he's Santino's sidekick. Such a shame. So long, kings of wrestling!!!

[Interioroutbreak69]

@stoningtonj wwe is a joke these days

[stoningtonj]

@Interioroutbreak69 you can only blame the wrestlers who keep signing shitty contracts for them....Without the wrestlers, WWE would crumble and the Indy territories would probably rise up and more great wrestling companies might flourish

[GregorywithaG]

@Interioroutbreak69 & TNA IS......?

[GregorywithaG]

@Interioroutbreak69 but nothing is a Bigger joke then hogan vs sting BFG Main Event and I'm not a tna mark I'm a wresting Mark Period

[SCARFACE40214]

@stoningtonj Whoa, you can see into the future? They actually bring Santino back in, and they use CC as his sidekick? Amazing. You should work for the dirt sheets, man. They would eat this stuff up.

[stoningtonj]

@SCARFACE40214 i know

[fourzero40]

I'm pretty sure he won't be able to use the bicycle kick.

[PlayboiX122]

He won't be allowed to use more than half of these moves in the WWE -__-

[Wakka12321]

@PlayboiX122 not true, only the last two are too dangerous for regular use in WWE. But all of the uppercuts will be used (check out his new updated WWE-twitter-version)

[XxXR17XxX]

yeah he's swiss :D haha best name of a move: alpamare waterslide xD

[SuperHeroMania]

WWE!!!!

[Dannypuck]

If I see him in the E, I will greet him with a HEEEEYYYY!

[notrollable]

Grats for getting into WWE ;D

[kingmula2]

wasent he in the wwe for two days?

[JukoDDT]

He should do the Thunderfire Recola more often. That is just sic. But I do think this is ready for a revamp, with the editions of the UFO & the spring board spinning European uppercut. You should be able to get some usable footage from the NOAH tapes.

Hope he and Hero battle Bad Intentions before heading to the E

[CaptainOmarful]

Favorite wrestler, I hope he comes to WWE with Hero and Cabana and they all get rich and become LEGENDS

[skinnaayydrum95]

@CaptainOmarful dude...they are already legends in the own right

[TheRealAxelFury]

funny thing is that you take out the european uppercut, i does 4 moves XD

[TheRealAxelFury]

@TheRealAxelFury he does

[clippower03]

@TheSuicidalDragon did you already post the remake of this one and the one of Chris Hero.

[TheSuicidalDragon]

I haven't gotten to remaking them quite yet.

[sodablower]

love the alpamare waterslide

[LowGMan]

I heard he does some move where he positions the opponent in a torture rack position and spins around with the guy still on his shoulders without holding him and then just "shrugs" him off. Do you have an idea of what I m talking about?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

It's known as the UFO, I believe.

[LowGMan]

I heard he does somemove where he positions the opponent in a torture rack position and spins around with the guy still on his shoulders without holding him and then just "shrugs" him off. Do you have an idea of what I m talking about?

[Cyrus4488]

Why do people make a big deal about moves?! Moves arn't wrestling you know. Look at the Machine Guns and Generation Me. All Style, No Substance.

[OLee82]

Nice to see that we got a good Wrestler from Switzerland :-) But some of the moves' names are weird. Alpamare Waterslide and Ricola Bomb lol A mircale he doesn't have a Chocolate Chokeslam. :-D

[TheTrueFranchise]

If you were to remake this I know you would add The Big Swing "Giant Swing" and the "Spinning No Handed Torture Rack Drop" Since this video is 2 years old I totally understand. I'm a huge mark for Claudio. Best on the indies I think

[TheSuicidalDragon]

This is likely to get revamped in the near future.

[dchockeygoali07]

rofl at how bad wwe dropped the ball by letting him go.

swiss death = fucking sick.

[clippower03]

@dchockeygoali07 Good news he Colt Cabana and Chris Hero are coming back.

[dchockeygoali07]

@clippower03 straight to the main roster apparently, it's about damn time. i hope they don't ruin castagnoli's moveset though, but they probably will. ugh.

[TheSuicidalDragon]

There's not much there that isn't exactly over the top dangerous. The only one I can think of that has a chance of being scrapped is the Waterslide, but even that's a bit of a stretch.

[miamimagicians]

Cladio is in great shape, he gets better every year!

[JDCDK]

So, when he powerboms a small wrestler he would just do a regular Riccola bomb, but when he is powerbombing freaking Brody Lee, he does a thunderfire version of it? Thats... crazy!

[TheSuicidalDragon]

The TF version is a big match finisher of his.

[CockyR4]

Claudio has the looks that WWE drools over... why he has not tryout yey?

[Mistertbones]

King of the Uppercut! I love it when he Uppercutted the steps after tripping over them!

[Demon1ackk]

1:24 refeeri's jump lmao!!

[MitsuharuMisawaRIP]

What are the chances of getting a top ten moves of Ares? You know his tag team partner that goes back way before the KOW and his current partner in CHIKARA?

[DBZmegafan99]

I'm a little new on Double C. Why did he cut his hair?

[kidneys4free]

@DBZmegafan99

Because he was balding

[DBZmegafan99]

@kidneys4free makes since

[WORMGERM]

what happened to the swiss uppercut to the stairs?

[BNCvid]

Is that Rolling Uppercut the equivalent to the European Uppercut?

[MitsuharuMisawaRIP]

@BNCvid rolling uppercut is a spinning/discus European uppercut

[Jrdnpbn]

Swiss Death is siiiick.

[gramamge33]

I think this needs to be updated to add the UFO if at all possible. I mean he even managed to pull that off on Morishima for gods sake! though "only" a half turn with his arms akimbo.

[TheSuicidalDragon]

The only problem is that it's a bit much to update a video for one move. If I did that for every video, that's all that would ever get done.

[gramamge33]

Perfectly reasonable, and it's not like there's anything on the list currently that deserves to get taken off. It is an awesome move though.

[90mv]

Better than Sheamus ...well every talented wrestler is better than Sheamus

[shittlesticks]

@90mv ...Lacey Von Erich is better then Sheamus.....

[90mv]

@shittlesticks ok damn he aint that bad lol

[OriginalLawnmower]

@shittlesticks Clearly you haven't seen enough of Sheamus if you're saying that. The guy is extremely talented for a man of his size and understands psychology to a tee.

[MitsuharuMisawaRIP]

@shittlesticks That's an idiotic thing to say, at least Sheamus does not BOTCH 99 percent of his moves like LVE does

[Typosflair]

He also uses an Avalance Ricola Bomb

[Killswitch185]

For the Ricola Bomb, does he cross the arms, or does he just hold onto them?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

The arms are crossed.

[neverretire]

good list but no hands free airplane spin?

[TheSuicidalDragon]

He wasn't using it when I made this.

[neverretire]

@TheSuicidalDragon

fair enough. love your vids.

[1298ty]

Where's the UFO?!

[Mistertbones]

Claudio is a staple of Botchamania as he European Uppercuts steps!

[Tombsquad]

TNA needs to worry about their production values first

[ShaMoneeey718]

Swiss Death would look awesome in a video game.

[Aficionline]

this man is amazing...please como to tna

[TheSuicidalDragon]

TNA needs to worry about the roster they've got now before stacking it any further.

[Aficionline]

yeah. i hope nigel will be an important man in tna. anyway, hulk hogan sucks. why tna? maybe for been more important in all the world

[DoubleMiz]

Cute guy...have to admit, haha.

[lionkiller900]

Russo is making statements that he is making mistakes of not pushing young stars and therefore giving low ratings such as 1.2-1.3. Colt Cobana just won his first Dark match in TNA. TNA is looking 2 recruit more young stars.

[lionkiller900]

pls come 2 TNA

[TheSuicidalDragon]

TNA needs to figure out how to use the roster they've got before making it even more crowded.

[lionkiller900]

did you read the news on TNA update of creative team? Russo is saying that he will push up the younger talents forward and create knew stars.

so TNA is about 2 change better.

[TheSuicidalDragon]

I personally don't trust Russo as far as I could throw him. I hope that's true, but I'll believe it when I see it.

[lionkiller900]

do you know what i like you Suicidedragon. because you are the only only one that dont argue with any discussions before and been neutral. Dont worry TNA, as of now Scott Steiner is looking 2 leave TNA soon. and Sting is retiring from wrestling and becoming a TNA legend. put at least a little trust in this young company.

[newagepun]

that sucks. I'm going to miss steiner's genius on the mic moments.

[newagepun]

Same here. He can make all the promises but if after 3 months is same old, they are just pissing it away trying to be WWE lite.

[Scurpione]

I like the match killer!

[egg64]

SWISS-RYU-KEN!!!!

[insanesuperstar]

I will never cease to love Swiss Death.

[nodqisme222]

Claudio is greater than you because he's very Europeana.

[wmc128]

Swiss Death is just fucking awesome

5/5 stars

[seb2112]

CC is awesome, I'd rather have him as a face than him being prince nana's lacky though

[gramamge33]

Really dig the match killer.

[SadisticScott]

Now this top ten was VERY EUROPEAN

[EpicArt]

Alpamare Waterslide <3

I wonder what would've happened if Claudio hadn't been released by the E mere days after he signed his deal. We wouldn't have gotten the excellent feud with Hero for one ...

[ThatWrestlingShow]

I don't know why but I hate tall, lanky wrestlers. Hero, Claudio and Swagger all bug the hell out of me despite thier awesomeness.

[seb2112]

do NOT mention the kings of wrestling in the same sentence as that horse-faced shitstain Swagger

[PhilipEbanks]

Swagger a shitstain? Shut the fuck up, seb. The KOW are indeed talented, but Swagger's been an impressive talent so far.

[newagepun]

KOW >>>> Swagger. Theres nothing to it. But I can't say I don't enjoy his shit eating grin and his in ring action so far.

[newagepun]

You're probably used to WWE's prototype. Odd enough I'm a fan of guys like Trevor Murdoch, Stan Hansen and Morishima who emphasize being BIG and knowing how to use their size.

[ThatWrestlingShow]

I liked Trevor Murdoch's work while he was in WWE and what I've seen from his TNA matches but I wasnt all too impressed by him and I guess I can see why he never left midcard. Hanson and Shima are monsters though, Murdoch has average size and has trimmed down lately too. I guess with guys like Claudio Im confused if they are going to be athletic like Claudio or act like a man of their own size. I'm not saying I don't like them or their bad wrestlers but they just use a style hard to get used to.

[newagepun]

Wow you had high expectations for murdoch. I never saw him past midcard. Claudio, like hero proves that you can be 6'5" but move like a light heavyweight as well. I like it because it proves athleticism isn't limited by height or size. Before edge bulked up he was about Claudio's frame I think though not as cut and looked where he went with that.

[IndyX]

At CHIKARA's Style and Substance show

[Hill85]

I attended a seminar that Claudio held. He's awesome. Dude is super athletic for his size.

[Rkomegakillz]

awesome.. just awesome thats pretty much the only word to describe most of his arsenal.

[TWAchannel]

I may have to borrow the move Swiss Death for my arsenal of moves :P

[SoAndChobe]

holy crap! the match killer is one of the coolest moves i have seen in a while!!! love it!

[taranaich]

I love European (er, Swiss) uppercuts, something so rough and angry about them. Swiss Death is epic.

[truegreenbuds]

im very happy you made this thx

[UnstableProtagonist]

RIICOOOLAAHH!! Double C has masterful variations of the Forearm (European) Uppercut, and as evident here, all are vicious to the core.

[Evergrey06]

Thunderfire Ricola Bomb is win. The Swiss Death is also great.

[KingAndy1992]

Claudio is so awesome.

[SerchKaiba]

riiiiicoooolaaaaaa!!

[thejoser]

Swiss Death is the greatest.

[jjmm42]

@thejoser

I agree...claudio, the wrestler of many holds.

[karlosda59]

where can i find the match with shelley?

[gig0n5]

Riiicooolaa.

[Thomazbr]

nice to see the Thunderfire Ricola Bomb

it's and awesome move

[Imadjinn]

Claudio is awesome. So there.
