Bryan Danielson says he asked for Jim Ross to be part of the main event of AEW All In 2024.
AEW All In 2024 was capped off by Bryan Danielson defeating Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Title. The match was called by Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, and Excalibur. During the call and leading up to the match, Ross frequently spoke about how he signed Bryan Danielson to his first contract in professional wrestling back in the year 2000.
Danielson explained to Justin Barrasso that he wanted Ross to be part of his special moment at Wembley Stadium, saying that the moment meant the world to him.
“I asked for Jim to be part of the match,” said Danielson. “He signed me to my first wrestling contract in 2000. I wanted him to be part of the call. Jim is still fantastic. I know he’s had a lot of health issues, and I’m sure getting to London was no picnic, but it meant a lot to have him there. I have also developed a really strong friendship with Tony Schiavone, so it meant the world to me that both of them could call the match.”
Danielson has also called Strickland the perfect opponent for the evening. Read more of his comments on Strickland here.
