Wheeler Yuta Talks Claudio Castagnoli Joining The Blackpool Combat Club

Wheeler Yuta talks about being a member of the Blackpool Combat Club.

Wheeler Yuta was the first name recruited by John Moxley, Brian Danielson, and William Regal to join the Blackpool Combat Club. Now Claudio Castagnoli has joined the group. Speaking with Jaychele Nicole of SEScoops, Wheeler opened up about his reaction to the former Cesaro joining 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,” he said.

Speaking about lessons he has learned during his time with the group and all of its veterans, Yuta says he has picked up on countless techniques from working with the 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.”

Next up for Wheeler, he will defend his Pure Championship at Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor. Fans can see the full card at this link.
