Winning the Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament means a lot to Bryan Danielson.
On the July 10th episode of AEW Dynamite, Bryan Danielson defeated "Hangman" Adam Page to win the Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament. In doing so, he earned a shot at the AEW World Championship at AEW All In.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Bryan Danielson discussed his victory.
“When I was a teenager, Owen Hart was one of my favorites, which makes this really special. I love hearing about how much he loved his family. Those guys were on the road so much, something like 300 days a year. So when I hear the stories about how he’d find one extra day to be at home, that means a lot. Was he an incredible professional wrestler? Of course. Was he hilarious? Everyone says he was. You can see it in his promos. But I want to embody the way he put his family first," Danielson said.
Bryan Danielson went on to say that he was honored to be part of the Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament. He highlighted how Martha Hart's work had inspired him, and he aspired to be the kind of parent that she was.
“I’m honored to be part of the Owen Hart Memorial Foundation Tournament. It’s really inspiring to me what Martha Hart has done with this tragedy, and how she’s helped so many people–and raised her children. She got her doctorate. She raised two wonderful children, and she’s an incredible parent. That’s something I aspire to be, too," Danielson said.
