Halloween Twittourage Q&A

Good morning everybody! I hope you had a great Halloween. And what’s more important, a great first of November. Why is that more important, well I think you should try to live each day better than the one before.

 

Now a couple of things regarding the Q & A. Don’t send in multiple questions. If you have a 1-2 type of question, that’s cool, but if it doesn’t fit into one tweet, shorten it.

And now without any further ado:

nbezama asked: do you will like to receive for this halloween some coffee candy ?

 

- I was looking for a pumpkin so that I could carve it, but none of the stores I usually go to had one that was big enough. But I heard that they’re still having them for another couple of weeks, so I might still carve one.

 

 

PenginPenginZH asked: Do you watch any Joshi Puroresu(japanese women's professional wrestling)?

 

- Yes! And I’m a big fan! Favorites: Lioness Asuka and Kyoko Inoue. But there are plenty of other awesome wrestlers in joshi that I enjoy watching. One of my favorite matches is Kyoko vs. Takako (both Inoue) from… I forgot the show I can find out.

 

 

CiberneticoJr asked: What would be a good school/academy for wrestling for someone who wants to get in the business?

 

- Chikara Wrestle Factory! Important is to find a school run by somebody you know and you enjoy watching their wrestling. Also there’s the ROH school.

 

ancientflounder asked: I'll send two, since I'm greedy. Favorite venue to work in so far? and Have you knocked anyone out w/ an uppercut?

 

- Hammerstein Ballroom and Budokan Hall. So far there was no need to do that.

 

 

MadamXavier asked: Claudio, I'm trying to get into shape, and since you're the most in shape person I know, can you give me some tips? Thanks!

 

- Try to eat 6 meals a day and only eat unprocessed foods. If you can’t hunt it, grow it, pluck it, fish it (you get the gist of it) don’t eat it. If you buy foods, look at the ingredients and if you can’t pronounce it or don’t know the ingredient, don’t buy it. There are always alternatives that have all good stuff in them. Try to work out three to four times a week. Find something that you like doing and go from there.

 

 

MRIGal3 asked: Who is your favorite opponent in Ring of Honor?

 

- Myself

 

 

adventisbetter asked: what is a very European custome?

 

- Moritz Leuenberger

 

 

 

_MFS_ asked: whats your favorite place in Switzerland?

 

- Lucerne!!!

 

 

DenzilVoorhees asked: How far will the Swiss National Team get in the World Cup next year?

 

- I’m realistic and hope we make it past the group round. But then I think it’s over for us. I keep my fingers crossed though!

 

 

or_Cheese asked: Is there anyone you didn't face this year that you would have liked to? Who would it have been the most?

 

- There are many people! But I also faced many that I would never though I would have. I’d say I wish I’d have wrestled Mitsuhara Misawa one last time this year…

 

 

DenzilVoorhees asked: Which football (soccer) team do you follow? Other than the Swiss National Team.

 

- Unfortunately that’s about the only team I follow right now.

 

 

ulu6807 asked: newbie wrestler advice? Not for me...I'm default promoter. ;-)

 

- You receive what you put in. Work hard and have pride in what you do.

 

 

AlGalpin asked: What's your biggest ambition in life?

 

- To live a good life, be happy and make other people happy in the process. (I’m sure I can think of more, but that’s what comes to mind right now)

 

 

odessasteps asked: You've likely answered this before, but who is your futbol team, either in Switzerland or in Europe as a whole?

 

- Switzerland!! I can’t really follow the Swiss League all that much, so I just follow the national team. My #2 team will be Germany like usual!

 

 

avenjerk asked: Describe your perfect cup of coffee

 

- Black with two to three splendas (depending of the size)

 

 

KlayMan2007 asked: What is your favorite @Botchamania episode?

 

- Well I must say I enjoy the ones that feature just me (yes, there are two of them out there!) and the ones that have me falling over stairs in them. I actually watched all of them up to number 50 or so, now I have some catch up to do.

 

 

cannelis asked: how did you like wrestling in NYC this past September for Nigel and Bryans last match...you seemed to be in a very good mood

 

- I wrestled for Bryan and Nigels last match? I always enjoy wrestling in NYC!

 

 

Flyrfn144 asked: what is the best halloween costume you've ever worn?

 

- In Switzerland we don’t dress up for Halloween. Well actually nowdays they do because the stores found out that they can make money off an extra holiday! But when I grew up there was no Halloween, we dressed up for Fasnacht (Carnival) but I never really like that. Which means my costumes were never that awesome that they’re even worth talking about.

 

 

ohgodwhat asked: What have you thought of the recent botchamanias?

 

- See above! Other than the ones that feature just me I haven’t seen the latest ones. I think it’s at such a high number now that some of the stuff shown is a big stretch sometimes.

 

 

JoelNick11 asked: who's your favorite wrestler to work with and why?

 

- Sal Rinauro. (That’s who and why)

 

 

 

garrett_adams asked: you Comg anyway near Virginia anytime soon?

 

- Yes I am. Check out my Appearances for details!

 

AdzFilmmaker asked: How often do you watch WWE? From your tweets you seem to follow it a lot more than most popular indy sensations.

 

- I try to watch all the wrestling that’s on TV. Which means I watch WWE and TNA every week if I’m at home.

 

 

And that’s about it for today!

 

Ciao,

Claudio

You're talking about this match right?

Claudio Castagnoli said...

No, it's a later one where Takako wears the black gear... I'll find the date.

PenginPenginZH said...

Was it from NEO Ladies?
Also are you a fan of Bison Kimura, Akira Hokuto, Dump Matsumoto, or Jaguar Yokota?
And do you follow much indy women's wrestling like Shimmer?

PenginPenginZH said...

and do you keep up with much current joshi like Azumi Hyuga, Kaori Yoneyama, Ayumi Kurihara ect. ect.?

ancientflounder said...

Woot, thanks for the answers, Claudio. Yeah, legit knockouts are no good, so good to hear that you haven't had to face that. And I can just imagine how amazing it must've been to work those venues, especially if it was a big crowd.

Claudio Castagnoli said...

No, I have it on a AJW Premium disk...
I haven't seen much of Bison, but I'm a big fan of Akira Hokuto and even met her in person! I also like Jaguar a lot and Dump. The thing with her is that she's mostly in Brawls which I don't really enjoy watching. Jaguar is awesome though!
I do watch some Shimmer, but not a lot. Fun fact I was at the first Shimmer taping and was in the "come as you are" Battle Royal which is an extra on the DVD.

I don't really watch current Joshi, because I don't know how to get a hold of it and because the late 80s early 90s stuff is just so awesome. I like some of the current girls though! Aja is still wrestling so is Myakawa and many more.

PenginPenginZH said...

OMG, you're so lucky! Hokuto's my wrestling idol(along with Cheerleader Melissa)

Here's a few matches from the newer girls. You have got to see Hyuga, she seriously inspires me everytime I see her into wanting to become a wrestler even more.(just have to finish up a 2 year degree at college and I can start)
