WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett, who is also All Elite Wrestling’s Director of Business Development, took to an episode of his “My World with Jeff Jarrett” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including why TNA Wrestling didn’t sign AEW star “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson in 2009.
Jarrett said, “He is under contract to those guys [ROH], and I believe when he came up for renewal … .I’ve made my comments on Bryan through the years, he’s, if not the current best [wrestler in the world]. He’s certainly always been one of the best storytellers. Yeah, he can do all the different moves and all that. But since this is 2009, the roster we just talked about was jam-packed. And he was under contract I think it was good for Dave [Meltzer] to write, Hey, he’s wrestled the year, but TNA’s every thought about it. Well, he’s under contract, do.”
