Wheeler Yuta isn’t the newest member of the Blackpool Combat Club anymore, Claudio is.
Wheeler Yuta was the first name recruited by Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and William Regal to join the Blackpool Combat Club. Now, Claudio Castagnoli is the newest member of the BCC. Speaking with Jaychele Nicole of SEScoops, Wheeler revealed his reaction to Castagnoli entering the group.
Yeah, Claudio was someone that I’ve always really had a lot of respect for as a wrestler. He’s, he’s incredible. Yeah, he, he’s someone that I’ve really, really appreciated and knowing that he ended Regal’s career and it only made sense that he would be someone that could fit in with our club, he does our style. He can do so many things. He’s absolutely incredible. So, it’s really great to have him now as a mentor as someone that I can talk to on my team and hopefully learn from and it’s been just great to have him here so far,

Wheeler also talked about new techniques he’s picked up while working with the group of veterans.
Yeah, there’s, there’s countless like little techniques that they’ve shown me and I could go on for days about that. But I think the main thing that we’ve we’ve talked about is just the mindset of knowing that when you’re in when you’re in the ring, you’re trying to when you’re trying to hurt that guy. For us in the Blackpool Combat Club, our thing’s we’re trying to leave a mark on you, trying to leave a scar. So whether it’s, you know, a literal scar that you see on your forehead, or maybe it’s maybe it’s a limp, maybe it’s something that something that you get up every day and you go, ‘Oh, wow, I wish those guys hadn’t done that.’ That’s the mindset. So that’s what we really try to focus on. That’s been the biggest lesson they’ve taught me.

Wheeler Yuta is set to defend his ROH Pure Title against Daniel Garcia at ROH Death Before Dishonor. Claudio Castagnoli will challenge for the ROH World Title on the same show, so we’re sure they’ll be trading techniques with each other heading into their respective matches.
