CMLL's Positive View of AEW's Claudio Castagnoli

Claudio Castagnoli, a dual star for AEW and CMLL, has garnered significant respect from CMLL luchadors and management due to his impressive performances in Mexico. This recognition comes amid discussions about the challenges foreign wrestlers face in the high altitude of Mexico, especially during events like the recent World Cup match between Mexico and England.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Castagnoli has excelled in singles matches without showing signs of fatigue, a feat that many American wrestlers struggle with. His ability to adapt has been highlighted by his successful tenure, including winning the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship last fall and participating in the CMLL International Gran Prix, where he wrestled for nearly 74 minutes.

Castagnoli's commitment to CMLL is evident as he became the first AEW star to sign a dual deal with the promotion in March. He has expressed his admiration for Arena Mexico, calling it his favorite venue to perform.
