Bryan Danielson On 'Bullying' Allegations: I Come Into The Locker Room Hot, I'm Not Coming To Be Soft

Bryan Danielson is a self-admitted bully. He's said in the past that he likes to bully guys like Paul Wight and Mark Henry, who he previously worked with in WWE.

Wight has said that Danielson will try to sneak up on giants and choke them out.

While Danielson and Wight are joking about the "bullying," there is truth in Bryan wrestling around with his peers in the AEW locker room.

"He initially tries to bully me, and I stand up for myself," Bryan told Robbie Fox on My Mom's Basement when asked about the "bullying" allegations from Wight. "I do bully other people. Sometimes giants. Only occasionally giants. I come in hot. When I come into the locker room, I come in hot. I'm not coming in there to be soft on these guys. I come in and everybody is on their phone, I'm going to yell at them. Sometimes, I'll be on the training table and Paul will come up and grab me in some sort of way and I'll immediately, as fast as I can, try to armbar him. That does happen. Not that he's a giant, but I am constantly trying to takedown Jake Hager. He's got a (amateur wrestling and MMA) background. It's not like I'm trying to single leg Brandon Cutler all the time. I don't know anything about his single leg defense, but it's not like I see him, he's walking down the hall, and I'm going to double leg this guy. That's not my deal. I'm going for the big guys."

When asked if he's ever successfully taken down Hager, Danielson declined to comment.

Griff Garrison has been subject to Bryan's "torture," telling the story of losing a bet to Danielson on who had the lower blood pressure. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
