Claudio Castagnoli feels like his charisma is fine.
In 2014, Vince McMahon appeared on Stone Cold Steve Austin’s podcast on the WWE network and when asked about Cesaro, he stated that while he was great in the ring, he lacked charisma.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet at Starrcast V, Claudio Castagnoli was asked about Vince’s comments.
“I thought he was wrong. I feel charisma comes in different forms, shapes, sizes. Not everybody has that over the top Ultimate Warrior, shaking the ropes, crazy yelling, screaming type of charisma. Not that I’m sitting here telling you how awesome my charisma, but I felt I had a connection with the fans in the United States and all over the world. While other people are known for long promos that are translated in many languages and doesn’t always come across, my stuff was about the in-ring work and people can connect with that. It may take a bit longer, but I did connect with a lot of fans and they were behind me. I don’t know if it’s not what he was looking for, but in the end, it brought me here and you guys are here to see me,”

Claudio clearly feels that Vince was wrong and with the success Castagnoli has had since debuting for AEW a month ago, it appears he is proving him wrong more and more with his success.
