Tony Khan has high praise for Bryan Danielson and what he has meant to AEW in the ring and backstage behind the scenes.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan recently sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked what Bryan Danielson has meant to the company and what his future in the company is beyond All In, Khan said it’s been a pleasure and a privilege to work with Danielson and talked about how valuable he is to AEW.
“We’re weeks away from Bryan celebrating three years in AEW. It has been such a pleasure and privilege working with Bryan,” Tony Khan said. “At All In he has his career on the line against the dominant AEW Champion Swerve Strickland. Swerve Strickland is on one of the greatest runs in AEW history right now.
“Over the last year, he has beaten some of the biggest names in AEW and done so many amazing things…I think fans all around the world are going to want to see this match knowing that it’s potentially the end of Bryan Danielson’s career and at such a pivotal time.
“I think it’s going to be very compelling. Fans will enjoy the Bryan Danielson “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” retrospective on tonight’s show. In the ring, I think Bryan Danielson is one of the greatest legends ever. Over the past three years, he has been involved in some of our greatest matches. He has done so many things in the world of pro wrestling.
“In AEW, he has chased a top prize on more than one occasion. We’ve never seen him as AEW World Champion I think he is very capable of being AEW World Champion, as well as having the best match and moment on any wrestling show. He is also one of the best people in wrestling. Having him backstage working with our talent, being involved with the company on a daily basis behind the scenes to try to make AEW truly where the best wrestle.
“He is so valuable to us. I hope that Bryan will be with AEW forever, I wish he could wrestle with us forever. I know that is not possible, but I hope for as long as he is able to continue backstage and pretty much the rest of his life, I would hope Bryan would stay involved in AEW. We love having him here. He is the captain of the team.”
