Cristiano Argento has been tearing up opponents in the ring for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as he worked his way up the ladder to get a few shots at some gold.<\/p>\n

But the path to get to one of the most prestigious pro wrestling companies in the U.S. was long and a path that not many wrestlers have taken.<\/p>\n

Argento was born and raised in Osimo, Italy<\/a> \u2013 a town of about 35,000 people located on the east side of the country closer to the Adriatic Sea. He told Fox News Digital he started training in a ring at a boxing gym before he got started on the independent scene in Italy. He wrestled in Germany, Sweden, France and Denmark before he came to the realization that, to become a professional wrestler, he needed to make his way to the United States.<\/p>\n

He first worked his way to Canada<\/a> to get trained by pro wrestling legend Lance Storm. He moved to Canada, leaving most of his friends and family behind and without a firm grasp on the English language.<\/p>\n

“At the time, my English was horrible. I didn\u2019t speak any English at all,” he said. “But I was with my friend, Stefano, he came with me and he translated everything for me. I probably missed 50% of the knowledge that Lance Storm was giving to us because I was unable to understand. I was only given a recap and everything I was able to see. I\u2019m sure if I was doing it now with a proper knowledge of English, it would have been a different scenario.<\/p>\n

“Eventually, I moved back to Italy after the training and I said, OK, now, I want to go to the U.S. So, I studied English more properly, and eventually I got my first work visa that was in Texas. I was in Houston for a short period of time. I trained with Booker T at Reality of Wrestling. I got on his show, which was my debut in the U.S. That was awesome. I eventually got a new work visa in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I currently live since 2017. Since then, my wrestling career, thankfully, kept growing, growing, growing and growing until now wrestling for the NWA. One of the bigger promotions in the U.S.”<\/p>\n

Argento said that his family thought he was “nuts” for chasing his pro wrestling dream.<\/p>\n

He said they were more concerned about his well-being given that he was half-way around the world without anyone he knew by his side in case something went sideways.<\/p>\n

“My family, friends, everybody was like why do you want to move to the opposite side of the world not knowing the language, not knowing anybody, by yourself, to try to become a professional wrestler? And I was like, well, we have one life, I love, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m gonna do,” he told Fox News Digital. “Eventually, my family was really supportive. But when I first said, \u2018Hey, mom and dad, I want to do that.\u2019 They looked at me like, \u2018Are you nuts? Are you drunk or something? What are you talking about?\u2019 And I said, no that\u2019s what I want to do. And they knew I loved this sport because in Italy I was traveling around Europe<\/a>, spending time in Canada training, so they started to understand slowly that\u2019s what I want to do with my life. They were proud of me.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re still proud of me. I think more like the fact that you\u2019re gonna try that, that it\u2019s hard than more like you\u2019re gonna leave us. The fact like, oh, my son is gonna go on the opposite side of the world for a six-hour time difference and we\u2019re gonna see him maybe, when, like, I don\u2019t know. Not often. I think it was more that. And for me too, it was really hard. It was heartbreaking not being able to see my family every day or every month. Like once a year if I\u2019m lucky. I think that was the biggest part for them because of concern or that I was here by myself and if I have any issue or any problem, I didn\u2019t have nobody. So they were scared. Like, you get sick, if you have a problem, anything, and they\u2019re not being able to be here next to me. But they were really supportive since day one.”<\/p>\n

Argento is living out his dream in the U.S. He suggested that the moniker of the U.S. being the “land of opportunity” wasn\u2019t far from what is preached in movies and literature \u2013 it was the real thing.<\/p>\n

“I was inspired by people who came to the U.S. and made it big,” Argento told Fox News Digital. “The U.S. was always like the land of opportunity. That\u2019s how they sell it to us and this is what it is. I feel like, in myself, that was true because anything I tried to do so far I was able to reach a lot more than if I wasn\u2019t here. I\u2019m not yet where I\u2019d like to be but I see like there\u2019s so many opportunities in this country. Not just in wrestling but like in any business to reach the goal. I\u2019m really happy of the choices I did here.<\/p>\n

“But my big inspirations were big-time actors who moved to the country, who didn\u2019t know English, with no money, no support system. I had one dream, I have to go right there to make it happen and I\u2019m gonna go and do it and I\u2019m gonna make it happen. So those people were always the biggest inspiration even if it wasn\u2019t in wrestling, just how they handled their passion, how they pursued their dream without being scared of anything, how far you are, how alone by yourself \u2026 You don\u2019t know the language, you\u2019re like, let\u2019s go, let\u2019s do it.”<\/p>\n

Outside of the NWA, Argento has performed for the International Wrestling Cartel, Enjoy Wrestling and Exodus Pro Wrestling this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
