AEW wrestler Kyle Fletcher revealed that a tattoo on his wrist was inspired by advice he received from colleague Claudio Castagnoli early in his tenure with the promotion. Fletcher previously struggled with feelings of fulfillment despite his professional success, leading him to post questions online about whether his achievements would ever feel sufficient. After seeing the post, Castagnoli engaged Fletcher in a backstage conversation regarding the nature of their work. During the exchange, Castagnoli explained that he does not seek full satisfaction because his drive is rooted in his identity as a wrestler, telling Fletcher, "It's who we are." The sentiment resonated with Fletcher, who now uses the advice as a primary motivation for his continued effort in the sport. The tattoo serves as a permanent reminder of that perspective.
