I hope it is the prior engagement cancellation issue and not another reason I heard recently. The second one would be a shame if it were true. And what is it? That they chose to pull the contract because he is gay. Though neither are confirmed

as a hardcore fangirl for claudio castagnoli, i'm almost 100% sure he isn't gay because he's been with sara del rey for a while now.

I know the true story. When he was in the locker room for a tryout, there wasn't anywhere to sit, so he moved someone's bag over a few inches so he could change. It turned out that it was Hardcore Holly's bag. Holly is very anal and immediately saw that his bag had been moved. He immediately confronted Mr. Kennedy and accused him of stealing things from his bag. Instead of fessing up that he was the one who moved the bag, Claudio just left for fear of being stabbed over the incident. On the way out, his rental car was having trouble starting up. He always keeps a few tools in his bag for situations like this. MVP happened to walk by and offered to help him fix his car. But Claudio packed a flathead screwdriver and needed a Phillips head. He asked MVP to find him one, figuring other wrestlers might have some in their bags. So Claudio told him "go up to people and ask if they, how do you say? want some of this?" but since English is his 2nd language he had trouble getting the proper message across. The first person MVP asked was Triple H.

That they chose to pull the contract because he is gay. Though neither are confirmed I seriously doubt that. I'm pretty sure Claudio isn't gay, and even if he was, I don't think they would've not hired him because of it. One of WWE's longest term employees is Pat Patterson and he's been out of the closet for decades.

I'm surprised Claudio isn't in the WWE right now. Have you seen the man? Sweet god. It's hard not to. BADUMTSH. .... I'm saying he's really hot. That was what I was attempting to get at. That aside, whatever the reason is that they didn't hire him, they really should give him another shot in the future. He's pretty amazing and the look they usually jump all over. And I was also aware of the rumors about his personal preferences,but I don't know the guy, so what can I say?

Rhetorically speaking, it's not entirely impossible that TNA gets big enough to rival the WWE for real. After all, WCW climbed up the ranks and caught up to WWE and even overtook them at some point. If TNA suddenly becomes a force to be worried about buisness wise, what's to stop Claudio skipping any obligations to the WWE before jumping. Yeah, sure maybe at some point in the future, TNA will be as big or even bigger than WWE, but when this deal was made WWE was (and still is for the time being) the biggest organization in North America. I still say it shouldn't have been grounds for firing him.

I'm glad he isn't in WWE, he's way to good to let his talent rot in the anti-wrestling swamp that the WWE is. I rather see him at Chikara, ROH or in Germany showing what he can in the ring, giving awesome, unscripted promos and just being his awesome self. And it looks like he likes it that way too, if not, he wouldn't have signed a new contract with ROH recently Same goes for Chis Hero, though Chris Jericho - Chris Hero is still the dream match i wann see. I find it hard to believe anyone is better off in the indies then in the biggest company in the world. I can guarantee almost every single guy working the indies would jump on an opportunity to work for that "anti-wrestling swamp" I mean god look at how they are wasting Bryan Danielson.. oh wait, he's being pushed and is the U.S. Champ? Nevermind.

One of WWE's longest term employees is Pat Patterson and he's been out of the closet for decades. I don't know anything about his sexuality, and I'm not interested in whether he's gay or not. But there is a difference between being a backstage talent person who works deskjobs, more or less, and being in the ring bumping around with dudes. I can imagine scenarios where wrestlers refuse to refuse a gay dude. The Goldust/Razor Ramon stuff was a work, obviously, but i imagine it's not dissimilar to what wrestling would be like for an actually and openly gay dude.

I find it weird that Vince doesn't like it when guys cancel dates to come to WWE early since in the AWA DVD, it's mentioned that several guys, like Hulk Hogan and Gene Okerlund, left the AWA before finishing their commitments. In fact, the only guy who left the AWA after finishing his commitments was Bobby Heenan. When did this change?

WTF? It's a beard. I think he's trying to say something about Sara Del Ray, but I can't put my finger on it.

There was another part of the story that I left out. As Claudio was leaving the arena, The Undertaker's wife Sara was coming in. He stopped to say hello because he recognized her from the Invasion angle and said "Wait, I thought you were here already?" She said "No, I just arrived." and Claudio responded with "Come on, you're pulling my leg. I saw you earlier with your husband. You were kissing him and everything." Sara didn't say anything else and just ran into the backstage area. Claudio figured she had to pee so he flicked his cigarette away, got into his rental car and left. The cigarette landed in a trail of gasoline that had been leaking from Vince McMahon's limo.
