Tommaso Ciampa: Creatively, I’m Not Hard To Please

Tommaso Ciampa isn’t worried about being creatively fulfilled.

Ciampa was officially moved to WWE Raw on Monday after finishing his run in NXT where he was two-time NXT Champion. Ciampa’s first segment as an official member of the Raw roster was a backstage segment with Kevin Owens and Ezekiel.

Speaking to Alistair McGeorge of Metro, Ciampa said he’s not hard to please when it comes to creative.

“Creatively, I’m not very hard to please in the sense that I just view it as, ‘Give me five minutes and I’ll make it the best five minutes I can,’ whatever that means. Whatever I’m asked to do. If comedy is in my future, whatever it is, I don’t know – I just look at it like, there’s no ending to this. So, if I do comedy for a couple of months, it doesn’t mean after that I can’t go back and do something else I might enjoy. There’s no ending,” he said.

Ciampa continued, recalling comedy segments during matches he would do in PWG.

“I think my most famous times were probably made most famous by my times in PWG – stuff that I kinda did around the circuit and perfected. The thumb incident with Liger, the singing and doing slow motion wrestling. Those are things that I guess are in my past but they’re things that I look back on so fondly. It’s just the entertainment part of this business that I just love so much. It’s what, to me, pro wrestling is. There’s no definition of it, right? When you can do all those things and have crowds that are singing along to I Believe I Can Fly, and going in slow-mo, reacting to pretend grenades – it’s awesome,” he recalled.

Fightful Select reported on April 4 that Ciampa had been pitched as being part of Edge’s stable alongside Damian Priest.
