INDY STAR CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI RESPONDS TO RUMORS OF HIS LEGAL STATUS IN UNITED STATES
by Mike Johnson @ 8:55:00 AM on 1/5/2007
Claudio Castagnoli issued the following statement via his MySpace.com page today:
Ladies and Gentlemen this is an official statement issued by one Castagnoli Claudio.
There have been rumors about my status as a US resident, my visa, work visa and so forth.
Those rumors are FALSE.
These rumors hurt me, my integrity and my status in this country and business.
I’m a man of honor, pride and integrity.
I do have a green card or permanent resident card if you will and also do have a social security number. In case you don’t know, you need both of these in order to be and work in this country legally.
So before so called “News Sites” and “Newsletters” release heavy statements or rumors like that, they should really do their job. It’s called research.
Let me close by saying there was and is nothing wrong with my visa or residential status.
Sincerely,
Castagnoli, Claudio
Castagnoli responded to a number of stories that have circulated about his status in the United States after his expected signing with World Wrestling Entertainment for a developmental deal was delayed.

....So, does this mean we are back to asking why the hell WWE let him go already?

I'm guessing they wanted the money for more bikini models.

so I guess all i have to go on is that
A. Gabe was right when he said Claudio had a green card
B. Johnny Ace is a dick
C. Simon Dean is being blamed for nothing
And now I'll probably find out that C is wrong but B is most likely true though not this time.

And D) The indy scene's greatest tag team and hottest cross-promotional storyline got aborted for nothing.

I wonder what that other rumor was.
I also wonder if WWE really did let him go.

If I were ROH, CZW, and CHIKARA, I'd be incensed right now. Hell, if I were Claudio and Hero, I'd be furious, as well. I imagine Gabe, Zandig and whoever does the booking for CHIKARA had a conference call after finding out, and it consisted of nothing but curse words for like a half an hour straight. Just "F---!" and "S---!" and "SON OF A B----!" over and over again. Jed Shaffer ~As if I didn't have enough reasons to kick Vince in the jimmy, he breaks up my favorite tag team for nothing. |

Did it ever occur that maybe CC is lying to save face as well? Or maybe there was another issue with his papers?

I couldn't care less about WHY he isn't with WWE. I'm bitter about the fact that he signed the contract and it got voided, thereby rendering killing an awesome run by the KOR for nothing. If I didn't know any better, and was slightly more paranoid, I'd think Vince did it just to sabotage them.

Yes, because an Indy tag team was such a serious threat to him  |

Yes because none of us know the truth. People are choosing to believe on guy because they hate the other one. Now if a third party can confirm Claudio's story, then go right ahead. But right now it's just "he said, he said" |

How about the INS.
How long has Claudio been working over here?
He would HAVE to have some sort of card or papers or something or the INS would be after him in a heartbeat.
EDIT: Does anyone know CC's myspace?
