Bryan Danielson has given fans many dream matches this year, including one more match with his long-time rival Nigel McGuinness.
AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson recently co-hosted an episode of The Nikki & Brie Show. During the show Danielson discussed his match with Nigel McGuinness at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, describing it as really cool and really special.
“I had another really cool thing that happened on Wednesday is I got to wrestle Nigel McGuinness,” Bryan Danielson said. “And a lot of people might not know Nigel McGuinness but, he was somebody that — we really helped make each other on the independent scene and that sort of thing and then he had a lot of injuries and all that kind of stuff and then he hasn’t wrestled — he hadn’t done a singles match in 13 years.
“He’s 48 years old and we just wrestled at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday and I mean, it was really cool and really special and for somebody who hasn’t wrestled in 13 years, he did fantastic, and it was so neat and it was so cool and it was so special.
“He flew out his daughter. He did something we (Danielson & Brie Garcia) should have done. Nigel said, ‘Hey, would you mind meeting my daughter beforehand? So that she can know that we’re friends and we’re not actually hurting each other out there’ and as soon as he told that to me, I was like, oh my gosh. We should have totally done that for (our children).” [H/T: POST Wrestling]
