Bryan Danielson Explains Why He Liked Working With WWE Writers

Bryan Danielson’s accolades as a professional wrestler certainly need no introduction as they proved to be one of the best in the business. He spent several years working in WWE as one of their top stars and towards the end of his run, Bryan Danielson was even part of WWE Creative. It seems he liked working with WWE writers as well.

The former WWE Champion had a terrific run in Vince McMahon’s company where he went on to become one of the most beloved babyfaces in the company’s history and won several world titles during his time there.

While speaking on The Masked Man Show, Bryan Danielson talked about working with writers, especially mentioning how he liked to work with writers in WWE as he enjoys the concept of limitations.

“In a weird way, I enjoy the concept of limitations. Some people like the idea of, for example, we don’t have writers per say in AEW. I enjoyed working with the writers. Not only was I part of the creative team with WWE, but when I had a promo, the writer and I would work together. It was a partnership and a collaboration. I’ve always enjoyed collaboration more so than just, here’s my thing.’

I think initially in wrestling, because I was very shy, I stuck to myself and just did whatever my idea was that was in my head. But now as I get older, one of the things I find the most fun about wrestling is the collaborative aspect of it, whether it be your opponent that you’re wrestling against, or it’s, ok, I have this interview segment. When I was the planet’s champion, my writer was Robert, and he and I worked together so well. He would present me with, ‘Hey, this is kind of what the promo is.’ Then I would be like, ‘What if we do this?’ We bounced ideas off each other really well. I find when you work really well with somebody in collaboration, to me, that’s a lot of fun.”

Bryan Danielson also previously revealed that he never considered signing with WWE as cashing out. Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley will be squaring off against each other at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view on March 6th. It remains to be seen how their match will turn out to be.
