Jeff Jarrett On Bryan Danielson
“Man, what a story, what a match, what an effort. Bryan Danielson’s special. He’s been doing it a long time, but my goodness. He throws it all out there. I was super impressed with that,” Jarrett said.
”To me, there’s nothing Bryan can’t do. I say that in that he leads by example across the board. His effort is always almost to a detriment, I think sometimes. He pushes himself too hard when maybe he doesn’t have to. But his ability to tell a wrestling story, I put [Jerry] Lawler, back in his heyday, there’s a couple others, but Bryan gets out the proverbial pen and paper, and you have no idea what story he’s about to write, other than it’s going to be a Bryan Danielson classic. Yes, modern-day, current in-ring talent that are blowing and going full-time, I put Bryan at the very top for multiple reasons, but it is his ability to…his matches evoke emotion across the board. That’s what it’s all about. He sells tickets, he sells buy rates, he sells emotion.”
