Swerve Strickland comments on his upcoming match against Bryan Danielson.
Bryan Danielson will put his career on the line when he challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Title at AEW All In. If Swerve wins, Danielson will retire.
Speaking on Eat, Sleep, Podcast, Repeat, Swerve was asked what it would mean to defeat Danielson and end his career.
"That means his legacy belongs to me. To me, that's as big as the world championship, in a way. Someone that has done everything there is to do in this industry. Since 2001 this man has been one of the pioneers of the style of wrestling that we have on television everywhere. This guy is the foundation of independent wrestling, international styles, in-ring technicians from 2000 on. This next generation is carved from this man. A lot of us have studied his tapes. As for me personally, another wrestler that put the Pacific Northwest and the state of Washington on the map. Growing up, 'We're so honored, we have somebody from Washington putting on in wrestling.' That was Bryan Danielson. Now, I want that to be Swerve Strickland. 'Bryan Danielson, yeah, he was great. Swerve Strickland took it to another level,'" said Swerve.
