Bryan Danielson has done a lot to help out the younger wrestlers in the AEW locker room.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Bryan Danielson recently sat down with Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report. When asked about helping younger wrestlers behind the scenes, Danielson took the time to put over fellow Blackpool Combat Club member Wheeler Yuta.
“Wheeler has so much upside,” Bryan Danielson said. “He’s an incredible human being and that’s the part I really look at with people. If you were to look at me when I was 27, I had a lot of holes in my game.”
Danielson made a point to mention how much different it is for younger wrestlers starting in the world of professional wrestling today because of social media.
“It’s hard to be a TV wrestler now in your 20s because everybody expects so much of you,” Bryan Danielson said. “And then you have social media to criticize anything that you do. If social media was around when I was 26 and they were able to see everything, every promo that I did, I might have to stick my head in the sand.
“I have a deep empathy for them being criticized so much at this stage. I think Wheeler, from an in-ring standpoint and from a promo standpoint, he’s getting better all the time. He did a match with Rocky Romero on Rampage that was just fantastic. I just think he’s doing a great job.”
