AEW star Bryan Danielson recently spoke with Sports Illustrated on a number of topics including facing Shingo Takagi at Forbidden Door.
Danielson said, “What really excites me about this is how much we’ve both developed as wrestlers since then 2010. If you go through what Shingo has done since leaving DragonGate, he went to NJPW, the biggest company in Japan, he won the IWGP junior championship, and then he moved to heavyweight and won the IWGP heavyweight championship. When he’s wrestling, I’m watching.”
On why he likes tournaments:
“The thing I love about tournaments is it’s a real sports-like presentation. That’s my favorite style to watch and to do. Tournaments are really conducive to that.”
