During a recent appearance on The Nikki & Brie Show, AEW’s Bryan Danielson discussed how doing karaoke helped him improve as a performer early in his career. He told a story about a six-month stint in England in 2003 working at Butlins Holiday Camps.
“I was there because the wrestling part of wrestling has always been easy to me. The entertainment part was very difficult and very challenging. That’s one of the reasons I went over there, to become a better entertainer for people who are not wrestling fans.”
He then credited former wrestler PN News for giving him advice on how to improve.
“This guy, PN News… He said, ‘If you really want to get better at this, what you should do is karaoke.’ He and I would do karaoke all the time and other guys would come and do karaoke. It teaches you to be a better performer, especially when you’re a horrible singer, like me. When you’re a horrible singer, you have to be a good performer, and I learned to become a better performer through doing more karaoke.”
