is no stranger to seeing Bryan Danielson dominate in the wrestling ring, and in a recent interview with the Daily Star, Regal heaped praise upon the All Elite Wrestling star, a man he has mentored for many years.
“He’s like my fourth son isn’t he really?” said Regal of Danielson, who many might know as the former WWE superstar Daniel Bryan. “His whole mission was to be what we set out to be a – a great wrestler. And he’s done it. When I say he is the perfect wrestler, he is the perfect wrestler and he’s proved it.”
Regal’s praise of Danielson didn’t stop there, as he recalled the history of Danielson’s rise through the WWE; he credited the latter for bucking the expectations placed on him at an early time in his career.
“He was brought into WWE, and forget the NXT thing, he was brought because they knew he was the person who could come in and have 12 and 15-minute wrestling matches and wrestle anybody,” Regal said. “They thought that’s all he could do – and that’s an incredible role to be trusted with – but everything else was a plus.”
Danielson and Regal currently work together in AEW; they are both in the Blackpool Combat Club stable alongside Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta.
