Bryan Danielson Thinks Toni Storm Could Defeat A Bear

Let the record show that Bryan Danielson, known bear wrestling enthusiast, believes “Timeless” Toni Storm would have a better chance of fighting and defeating a bear than Kenny Omega.

Bryan Danielson loves talking about wrestling bears. Bryan also loves AEW and its wrestlers. In fact, Danielson once said he would like to book Satnam Singh against a bear at Wembley Stadium.

Recently, during an interview with Downunder The Ring, Bryan Danielson was asked what he thought about the chances different wrestlers on the brand had against a bear. Some great wrestlers like Kyle Fletcher and Kenny Omega, Bryan says, wouldn’t stand a chance. He gives “Timeless” Toni Storm a full-throated endorsement, however.

Below, you can read his different takes on every wrestler he was asked about, along with his reasoning for why he believes they could or could not out-wrestle a bear.

Swerve Strickland: So, it depends on what kind of match it is. If it’s a straight match, the bear wins. If it’s a gimmick match, like a Hardcore Match, I swear, Swerve is the craziest Hardcore Match wrestler that I’ve ever seen. So, he would staple that bear in the tongue or something like that, and so, yeah, it depends on the style of match. You get a straight old wrestling match? I bet the bear wins. You get any shenanigans or that sort of thing? Swerve wins.

Hangman Page: I think Hangman has more experience with rounding up animals, so I think he does better in a straight match than Swerve.

Kyle Fletcher: He gets destroyed by a bear. I’m sorry, Australia. If all of you Sydney people love Kyle Fletcher because he’s from Sydney and all that. He’s also a beautiful man. I heard the word on the street is that Taylor Swift is very interested in Kyle Fletcher, even though she just got engaged, but that said, Kyle Fletcher could not defeat a bear.

Toni Storm: She could beat a bear. Straight one-on-one? She could beat a bear. No questions asked.

Kenny Omega: Given the state of Kenny Omega right now? Even [if he was healthy] still. I love Kenny Omega. Kenny is probably one of my favorite wrestlers to watch ever. I vote for the bear just because I can’t unthink of how bad his stomach is, and I just envisioned, as soon as you said it, a bear ripping open his stomach.

Mercedes Mone: I think a bear defeats her soundly. I was going to make a joke about the Beast Mortos, but I’ll just leave it at that.

There you have it, the odds that Bryan Danielson gives some of the top wrestlers in AEW if they were ever to wrestle a bear.
