"He really understands the business" - WWE legend heaps praise on AEW star Bryan Danielson
Wrestling legend Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) recently shared his thoughts on WWE losing out on Bryan Danielson.
The American Dragon had a long and storied tenure with Vince McMahon's company. He was part of the promotion for 11 years, during which he became a grand slam champion and main evented two WrestleManias. He decided not to re-sign with the company once his contract expired. Since then, he has joined AEW and has become one of their biggest stars.
Speaking on the DDP Snake Pit podcast, the former WCW Champion shared his thoughts on WWE losing Danielson to their competition. He was full of praise for the former United States Champion, stating that he was the absolute best.
“I think [Bryan Danielson] is the best guy in the world,” Page said. “He’s older, he really understands the business, you know, at a different level, he understands selling now at a different level … I always thought that was a mistake losing him, you know, at any level.” [H/T Wrestling Inc]
