Bryan Danielson isn't worried about having the best match.
Danielson is highly regarded as one of, if not the, best wrestler in the world. Though he's had standout matches with Kenny Omega, Miro, Eddie Kingston, Hangman Page, and more in AEW, he's not chasing the feeling of producing the best match on the card.
"I'm honestly not worried about it," he said on Throwing Down with Renee Paquette and Ryan McKinnell when discussing his mindset in going for Match of the Night. "I'm worried about going out and doing something that is fun, that's mentally and physically stimulating for me. I like matches to feel like fight. The last match before Lee Moriarty, I was bleeding a lot, it was against Hangman Page. I lost that one, unfortunately. There is this thing where, I've been going to church for most of my life. Wrestling, or being out in nature, but especially wrestling when the blood is coming down, there is something that makes you feel so alive and I've never felt in church, I've never felt God in church the way that I do in a wrestling ring or when I'm on a hike with my daughter. I'm not doing it to have the best match, I'm chasing that feeling. I was talking to the trainer in AEW about it, this feeling that you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. I don't know if that's oneness with God, you can call it any number of things, I don't want to put it on one specific thing, but that's what I'm chasing, not the best match of the night or anything like that."
Danielson is coming off a victory over Lee Moriarty on last Wednesday's AEW Dynamite. He is currently hoping to align with Jon Moxley on television.
