Carrera
Castagnoli recibió su entrenamiento inicial en su tierra natal Suiza de parte de su compatriota SigMasta Rappo, e hizo su debut el 24 de Diciembre de 2000 en Essen, en la empresa alemana westside Xtreme wrestling.[5] Castagnoli utilizó un gimmick japonés, antes de volverse un banquero suizo junto a Ares, conocidos colectivamente como "Swiss Money Holding" (SMH).
While performing in England, Castagnoli received training from Dave Taylor. In Switzerland, Castagnoli met Chris Hero and Mike Quackenbush, who invited the SMH to perform in the United States.[2] They competed in IWA Mid-South and Chikara and received training from Hero before returning to Europe. In 2004 Castagnoli received a United States Permanent Resident Card in a green card lottery and moved to the United States and began making regular appearances for Ring of Honor and Chikara, while Ares remained in Switzerland and formed the new Swiss Money Holding with Marc Roudin.[2]
Chikara (2003–2011)
Castagnoli & Ares hicieron su debut en Chikara el 7 de mayo de 2003 en el 2003 Tag World Grand Prix, pero fueron eliminados al empatar en su lucha contra the SuperFriends (Chris Hero & Mike Quackenbush).[3] Castagnoli volvió en 2004 como uno de los miembros del stable de Larry Sweeney Sweet 'n' Sour International.[3] El año siguiente, Castagnoli hizo pareja con Arik Cannon, siendo conocidos como AC/DC. La pareja participó en el 2005 Tag World Grand Prix, ganando el torneo al derrotar a la pareja de Hero & Quackenbush, ya que Hero traicionó a su compañero durante el combate.[6] Juntos, Castagnoli, Cannon & Hero formaron un stable conocido como the Kings of Wrestling. Cannon dejó la empresa a finales de 2005 y, junto a Hero, participaron en el 2006 Tag World Grand Prix.[3] Durante el torneo, derrotaron a Equinox & Hydra, Sumie Sakai & RANMARU, the North Star Express (Ryan Cruz & Darin Corbin), Incoherence (Hallowicked & Delirious) y, en la final, a Team Dragondoor (Skayde & Milano Collection A.T.), convirtiéndose en los primeros Chikara Campeones de Parejas.[7] [8]
El 17 de noviembre de 2006, en el evento Brick, perdieron los títulos ante Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus & Gran Akuma) en un2 out of 3 falls match. Además, tras la lucha, Hero se unió al Team F.I.S.T. y atacaron a Castagnoli.[9]
In November 2006 it was revealed that Castagnoli had signed a developmental deal with the World Wrestling Entertainment, having impressed them with an appearance on Raw (as a police officer in a backstage segment) and a successful tryout for Deep South Wrestling.[1] Shortly after, Castagnoli was released from his WWE contract. Reports stated that this was due to Visa problems with Castagnoli, although he disputed those reports.
Castagnoli returned to Chikara on February 16, 2007, under a mask and the ring name "Very Mysterious Ice Cream", as a part of Los Ice Creams.[10] Afterwards Castagnoli started feuding with his former partner Chris Hero. On April 22, 2007, at Rey de Voladores Hero defeated Castagnoli and as per stipulation of the match Castagnoli was forced to re-join the Kings of Wrestling.[11] The following month Hero, Castagnoli and Larry Sweeney joined forces with Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus, Akuma and Chuck Taylor to form the Kings of Wrestling superstable, which would later be joined by Mitch Ryder, Max Boyer and Shayne Hawke. On September 22, 2007, at Cibernetico & Robin the Kings of Wrestling faced Los Luchadores in the annual torneo cibernetico match. The Kings won the match with Hero, Castagnoli and Mitch Ryder as the survivors, but since the match could only have one winner, they were forced to face each other. Castagnoli forced Hero to tap out and then pinned Ryder to win not only the match, but also his freedom from the Kings of Wrestling.[3] [12] On December 9, 2007, at Stephen Colbert > Bill O'Reilly Castagnoli defeated Hero to finally end their long feud.[13] After the match Hero left the company and Castagnoli took over his training duties at the Chikara Wrestle Factory.[3]
In 2008 Castagnoli started a new feud, this time with Brodie Lee.[3] On September 7 Castagnoli defeateed Lee in the first steel cage match in Chikara history to win the feud.[14] On October 19, 2008, Castagnoli won a 7-on-7 Global Gauntlet match where Chikara wrestlers faced off with wrestlers from Big Japan Pro Wrestling.[15]
Castagnoli entered the 2009 King of Trios teaming with Bryan Danielson and Dave Taylor as Team Uppercut. The team advanced to the finals of the tournament, where they were defeated by F.I.S.T. (Icarus, Akuma and Taylor).[16] [17] [18] After the tournament Eddie Kingston, whose team The Roughnecks Castagnoli and his team had eliminated on their way to the finals, claimed that he had been embarrassed and disrepected by Castagnoli.[3] On May 24, 2009, Kingston, who had claimed technical superiority over Castagnoli, pinned him cleanly with an Oklahoma roll.[19] After Castagnoli defeated Kingston via countout at the 2009 Young Lions Cup,[20] the two of them were booked in a "Respect Match" on November 22, 2009, at the season eight finale Three-Fisted Tales, where the loser of the match had to show respect to the winner. Castagnoli won the match, but instead of showing respect, Kingston laid him out with a spinning back fist, after claiming that both Castagnoli and his former partner (Chris Hero) are shady and deserve respect from no one.[21] At the conclusion of the show Ares revealed himself as the man who had been stalking UltraMantis Black, at which point Castagnoli turned rudo by attacking Mike Quackenbush. After beating the entire tecnico roster Castagnoli aligned himself with Ares, Tursas, Pinkie Sanchez, Tim Donst, Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze to form the Bruderschaft des Kreuzes.[21]
After picking up the three points needed in order to challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas in just one weekend,[22] Castagnoli and Ares defeated The Colony (Fire Ant and Soldier Ant) on March 20, 2010, to win the titles, making Castagnoli the first two-time Campeon de Parejas in Chikara history.[23] In April Castagnoli, Ares and Tursas defeated the teams of The Osirian Portal (Amasis and Ophidian) and Sara Del Rey, Team Perros del Mal (El Alebrije, Cuije and El Orientál), Team Big Japan Wrestling (Daisuke Sekimoto, Kankuro Hoshino and Yuji Okabayashi) and The Colony (Fire Ant, Soldier Ant and Green Ant) over a three day tournament to win the 2010 King of Trios.[24] On October 23 Castagnoli represented BDK in the torneo cibernetico match, where they faced a team composed of Chikara originals. He eliminated himself from the match by low blowing Eddie Kingston, but his plan did not work out as Kingston came back to eliminate Tursas and win the match.[25] At the season nine finale on December 12, Castagnoli and Ares lost the Campeonatos de Parejas to Jigsaw and Mike Quackenbush.[26]

Castagnoli empezó como un luchador fiel a ROH, pero el 22 de abril de 2006, en The 100th Show traicionó a la compañía al ayudar a Hero, Super Dragon & Necro Butcher a derrotar al Team ROH (Samoa Joe, B.J. Whitmer & Adam Pearce).[28] El 15 de julio de 2006 en Death Before Dishonor 4, el Team ROH derrotaron a Castagnoli, Hero, Necro Butcher, Nate Webb & Eddie Kingston en un Cage of Death match, finalizando el feudo.[27] Sin embargo, como tenía un contato con ROH antes del feudo con CZW, se mantuvo en la empresa, a diferencia de los luchadores de CZW, quienes fueron despedidos. A pesar de eso, Hero regresó a la empresa durante una gira en agosto por Reino Unido[29] y el 16 de septiembre de 2006 se reveló que Claudio y Hero habían robado los Campeonatos Mundiales por Parejas de ROH de Austin Aries & Roderick Strong, olbigándoles a luchar por ellos.[30] En esa lucha, la cual tuvo lugar en Glory by Honor V Night 2, Kings of Wrestling derrotaron a Aries & Strong, ganando su primer campeonato en la empresa.[31] [32]

Al acabar la lucha, Castagnoli anunció que nounced that he would not be leaving for WWE after all and promised great things for the Kings of Wrestling in 2007. However, Hero's personal manager Larry Sweeney grabbed the mic and announced that Castagnoli had broken up the Kings of Wrestling, when he decide to after a WWE contract, and that they would not be coming back, since he and Hero had big plans themselves for 2007. Hero shook Castagnoli's hand, but left with Sweeney, thus ending the Kings of Wrestling.[33]

Castagnoli ended up winning the match,[1] [39] but was defeated by Sweeney the following night at Final Battle 2007, when Sweet & Sour, Inc. member Daniel Puder interfered in the match.[40]
