Claudio Castagnoli Puts Out His Own Wrestling Hitlist, Wants To Challenge Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay, Jay White, Swerve Strickland, And Many More

Claudio Castagnoli is channeling his inner Agent 47 in 2024.

In the eyes of Castagnoli, he might have faced off against the very best in the last decade, but he wants to add more names to that list.

In an interview with Denise Salcedo, Castagnoli was asked if there was anyone he had not faced just yet that he would absolutely love to step in the ring with.

“Yes, there’s a lot. What happens is I will see somebody wrestle or I’ll hear about somebody, and I’ll be like, ‘Oh yeah, him too.’ These are just the top of my head. Kyle Fletcher, for example. Will Ospreay, haven’t wrestled him yet. Okada. I think I had a tag match against him a long, long time ago, but no singles. Tanahashi. Oh yeah, Okada, I just wrestled in that six-man. Same with Tanahashi, same with Ishii, Naito. There’s a whole bunch of New Japan guys. SANADA. The list goes on and on. There’s a whole bunch of other guys. I did have two singles matches with Mistico, the original Mistico in WWE, but non-televised. Maybe one for TV would be fun, just for posterity. Then there’s a whole bunch of guys in CMLL that I’ve never been I the ring with. Ultimo Guerrero, Rey Bucanero, all those guys. There’s a whole bunch of guys in AEW that I haven’t been in the ring with that I want to [face], like Action Andretti, that I haven’t had a singles match with. Darius Martin, so forth. I think we had a tag match with him. There’s a whole bunch of guys in AEW as well. Brody King was on my list until the Continental Classic. Jay White, RUSH, Strickland. I was never in the ring with Strickland yet. Keith Lee, I haven’t had a singles match with him either. So the list goes on and on,” Castagnoli said.

Castagnoli would also go on to mention how he was almost close to being part of last year’s G1 Climax for New Japan Pro Wrestling.
