Christopher Daniels has been on hiatus as an on-screen talent on AEW. He and Frankie Kazarian were forced to split up after losing to The Young Bucks in Dynamite.
Presently, Daniels is working as the AEW Head of Talent Relations. He is responsible for finding and hiring upcoming talents. Since the “forbidden door” is opened, Daniels has seen his in-ring return to Impact. They will also see when he returns to NJPW. As time passes, fans are waiting for his in-ring return to AEW.
The current AEW star debuted in NJPW in 2002
Man I’d love to see Curry Man vs Christopher Daniels twitter.com/neveropenpod/s…
Christopher Daniels has had a lengthy career. He debuted NJPW in 2002. It was under his “Curry Man” gimmick. His first match was against Jado at Best of Super Juniors IX. He regularly appeared under this persona until 2004. His stint with Danielson as junior tag champion was also under this gimmick.
“Curry Man” was also seen in the Fire Pro Wrestling Game Boy Advance versions. From 2007 onwards he appeared under his present “ring name”. His newly found fame under his real name in TNA is likely to be the primary reason. He later also appeared as the “Curry Man” in TNA/Impact.
