AEW commentator was told to "shut up" through the headset during Bryan Danielson's entrance
Bryan Danielson is one of the greatest names to have stepped inside the squared circle. He has wrestled all around the world and won championships in WWE, Ring of Honor, PWG, and more.
Danielson is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling. He is a former AEW World Champion and is adored by millions worldwide. Additionally, reports suggest that he is considered a locker room leader. In his recent matches, his entrance theme has been 'The Final Countdown', an iconic song by the rock band Europe. Interestingly, AEW commentator Excalibur recently revealed that during The American Dragon's first-ever entrance to this song, he was talking on the microphone. However, he was told to "shut up". Tony Khan then explained to him that the crowd would chant "It's the final countdown" during the chorus. Hence, it was important for the commentator to not speak during that moment.
"You know, talking about Danielson, talking about what this match means; blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and while I’m doing that, everybody is screaming in my ear just saying, ‘Shut up! You gotta wait for the chorus! You gotta wait for the chorus!’ And then Tony (Khan) gets on. He’s like, ‘The chorus! The chorus! The chorus!’ And I just somehow was able to ignore him, finish my thought. I finish my thought and then you hear the crowd hit ‘The Final Countdown’ and then Tony gets in my ear and goes, ‘That was f*cking great!,'" said Excalibur. [H/T Post Wrestling]
According to Jim Ross, Bryan Danielson is AEW's MVP
Legendary commentator Jim Ross believes that Bryan Danielson is the MVP of AEW. He commended the 43-year-old for his professionalism, in-ring skills and unselfishness.
"The work Bryan Danielson has done is nothing short of extraordinary. The quality of matches he has with everybody he gets in the ring with takes great skill and being unselfish," said Ross.
Danielson's last match in the company was against Jon Moxley at WrestleDream. Not only did he lose this bout, but also the AEW World Title.
