Bryan Danielson is ready to give back.
In a new interview with Casual Conversations with The Classic, Bryan Danielson spoke about his role in the current scheme of things in pro wrestling. Danielson says he feels like it’s his turn to give back and felt like AEW is the best place for him to do that.

And so the idea, both sides, I would have been able to wrestle in Japan. But there was also the idea of like being able to spend more time at home with kids, like all that kind of stuff, you know?
