Lee Moriarty reflects on facing Bryan Danielson.
The match between Moriarty and Danielson occured early on in the AEW run of 'The American Dragon', taking place on the February 16, 2022 edition of AEW Dynamite. The bout was highly praised at the time, with many saying that it was one of the best matches of Moriarty's career.
Now, just two years later, Moriarty has learned how to implement a bit of aggression into his technical wrestling.
“It taught me how to be more aggressive with a technical style because as amazing of a technical wrestler he is, he’s an extremely aggressive wrestler." Moriarty said while speaking to The Ringer's Masked Man Show for a new interview. "You see that in his matches with RUSH, with Moxley, people like that. So it helped me in that aspect of finding that next gear when it comes to being more mean instead of wrestling so pretty. It just taught me to, like i was saying, just be more loose with the game plan because things are gonna change. There’s things that he did that I didn’t plan on because if you watch three Bryan Danielson matches in AEW this past year, there’s not really a pattern like you were talking about. He adapts his style to his opponents whether he’s wrestling MJF, Hechicero, or Moxley. He’s gonna change it so you can’t always plan. There’s little things he will do consistently, but the way that he gets to them are different.”
