Tony Khan has decided to make Bryan Danielson a full-time commentator starting this Wednesday on AEW Dynamite.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan was a recent guest on the Battleground Podcast. When asked about his decision to put Bryan Danielson behind the announce table on a full-time basis, Khan said it stemmed from his successful run on Dynamite and Forbidden Door last month overseas.
“As we were preparing for Forbidden Door, I thought Bryan would be fantastic on the commentary team for that show,” Tony Khan said. “Knowing the background he has, knowing his insights into pro wrestling and how prepared he is and how much research he does on pro wrestling worldwide, knowing the stars competing at Forbidden Door, coming from different promotions, stars from Mexico and Japan, and traveling from all over the world to compete at that show in London.
“Also, I think Bryan’s a great star, and people want to see Bryan Danielson on television and hear Bryan Danielson on television, and thankfully, he’s got very intelligent, insightful things to say when he does talk. “I really thought Bryan would be a great part of the commentary team, and he did a fantastic job on Forbidden Door.
Tony Khan reveals when he approached Bryan Danielson about doing full-time commentary
“So I had talked to him, maybe after his promotional tour of Australia was complete, about Bryan joining us on Wednesday, and it worked out perfect. He’ll be joining us tomorrow night, on Wednesday Night Dynamite as a host, a commentator, providing his really, really valuable insights into pro wrestling.
“I think it’s great anytime we’re able to bring on Bryan Danielson to do anything in AEW, but especially to provide very, very intelligent, insightful commentary on pro wrestling. That’s a great thing in AEW that we have now with Bryan Danielson as a host on Wednesday night’s Dynamite starting tomorrow.” [H/T: Fightful]
