=====================================================================
*Claudio Castagnoli was welcomed for this Mayhem debut, and says that he is excited for the airing of the upcoming/first Ring Of Honor Pay-Per-View in July, and that the fans of ROH are all excited too, and that everyone should check it out.
*Claudio says that he wants the ROH World Tag Team gold back, and it was gong to be great teaming up with Matt Sydal, who took the belts off of him & Chris Hero in the first place.
*Claudio talked about the Ring Of Honor shows overseas this summer in Japan, and said that everyone in the company was very pumped about these events.
*Claudio said that the WWE did not have room for him at that time, and a few weeks later had a few releases, but they are still on good terms. He is focusing on what is going on right now, with his time in ROH, so the fans will have to wait & see what the future brings.
*Claudio talked about last year’s Ring Of Honor vs. CZW feud, mentioning that the Cage Of Death was “really brutal.”
*Claudio is getting a shot at the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Title on August 10th in Boston, MA against Takeshi Morishima (as part of “Death Before Dishonor V” Night I). He is counting the days until the big night, saying he has worked very hard for this opportunity. It will be a huge opportunity for him to show what he can do to bring his career to the next level.
*Mosh asked what are the origins of his catchphrase (“Eyyyyyy”), and Claudio said that he does not really know how it happened, but after it did, it just kind of stuck with the fans. Claudio says that some of the best things in wrestling come unplanned.
*In closing, Mosh, Blade, & The Angry Hero talked about the NWA World Heavyweight Title Tournament, in which Claudio advanced last weekend. Claudio said that his focus is also on this, and that it is a great chance & a real honor to be in this tournament. He can have his name in the books with some of the Hall Of Famers who have held that title (Harley Race, Dory Funk Jr., “The Nature Boy Ric Flair, & others).
