"I accepted death" - Former WWE star recalls horrifying in-ring experience (Exclusive)

WWE has had no dearth of dangerous segments in the ring, and a former star recently recalled one such experience. A single move from Claudio Castagnoli (fka Cesaro) had apparently made him fear for his life.

One of Claudio's signature moves is the big swing, where he grabs hold of his opponent's legs and spins them around. While the move looks tamer than many in comparison, several stars have claimed that it was the hardest offense they had to face. EC3, who was previously a part of WWE, is seemingly no exception.

Speaking on the latest episode of UnSKripted, EC3 talked about how he had almost welcomed death when being locked in the big swing. He said:

"I cannot spin for the life of me, and that's the first time I have ever been in it. And like 3 tilts in, I remember I am like, I accepted death, and I welcomed it. While I was swinging there, 'cause I am like 'This is just the worst for me.' But eventually I survived and I got launched out of it." [7:10 onwards]

Claudio is currently signed to AEW and is not likely to return to WWE anytime soon.
