Jeff Jarrett is impressed with Bryan Danielson.
Speaking on My World with Jeff Jarrett, the WWE Hall of Famer discussed the AEW x NJPW Forbidden pay-per-view and highlighted the match between Bryan Danielson and Shingo Takagi.
“Man, what a story, what a match, what an effort. Bryan Danielson’s special. He’s been doing it a long time, but my goodness. He throws it all out there. I was super impressed with that," Jarrett said.
Jarrett has spoken highly of Danielson before, and co-host Conrad Thompson asked him whether Danielson was the active wrestler he admires the most. Jarrett praised "The American Dragon" and his effort. He stated that he put Danielson at the top of the list and emphasized how good he was at evoking emotion.
”To me, there’s nothing Bryan can’t do. I say that in that he leads by example across the board. His effort is always almost to a detriment, I think sometimes. He pushes himself too hard when maybe he doesn’t have to. But his ability to tell a wrestling story, I put [Jerry] Lawler, back in his heyday, there’s a couple others, but Bryan gets out the proverbial pen and paper, and you have no idea what story he’s about to write, other than it’s going to be a Bryan Danielson classic. Yes, modern-day, current in-ring talent that are blowing and going full-time, I put Bryan at the very top for multiple reasons, but it is his ability to…his matches evoke emotion across the board. That’s what it’s all about. He sells tickets, he sells buy rates, he sells emotion," Jarrett said.
Bryan Danielson defeated Hangman Page to win the Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament on the July 10 episode of AEW Dynamite. Jarrett was the special guest enforcer for the match, and he wound up replacing the referee.
