The Bucks talk about this match in their book. During the DDT tournament the PWG crowd was starting to turn on the face Bucks. Roddy and Bryan told them they'd get babyface sympathy for them by kicking the poo poo out of them. But the crowd cheered for the rear end kicking. So Bryan and Roddy hit harder. And the crowd cheered louder. It gets to the point where the match almost breaks down cause the Bucks think they're taking liberties.

The middle domino being Bryan main eventing Wrestlemania despite losing the rumble... and it making him realize he's done with WWE was quite the twist.

Here's a couple:

Danielson vs Morishima for the ROH Title (Manhattan Mayhem 2007)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHy6swAxsYA

Danielson detatches his retina halfway through this match. See if you can figure out where

This led to a multi-match series between the two. Two of the matches had to be stopped because they wouldn't stop hitting each other in the dick. Cumulating in a Fight Without Honor (think AEWs Lights Out match)

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7r7z6u

This video has three great Danielson matches but the third one is widely considered to be one of his best. Danielson vs Mcguinness at ROH Unified in Liverpool. A unification match for the World and Pure titles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-tcrmjagG0&t=3593s

(59:53 if the timestamp doesn't work)

And lastly. The American Dragon vs The Best Bout Machine

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This is true, according to Dave Meltzer Bryan Danielson has never had a match reach the dizzying heights set by Lars Sullivan.

Came across this recently from later days of FMW, their final tour of 1999. American Dragon & Lance Cade vs Naohiko Yamazaki & Yoshinori Sasaki. Match itself is nothing remarkable but as some of the earlier footage of Danielson it's an amusing novelty. I think the earliest match of his career, vs Rudy Boy Gonzalez, is also out there but I've not seen that.

edit: i'm a moron, sorry

also bryan's current aew run is great

the match he did with omega might be one of the best classic pro-wrestling matches in a while, and the match he just had with jackson just shows how much he elevates matches to greatness now that he's allowed to do what he wants

Already in only a single appearance he's set up potential feuds with Adam Cole, Nick Jackson (Hell yes!) and yes even Kenny Omega. So loving great.

That's 2 out of 3 done already, and they both ruled!

the idea we could have had 10 years of these matches if he didn't go to WWE or at least left in 2018 breaks me

I'm really liking how much he's opening up his style lately. One interesting thing I've noticed is that AEW pushes submission finishers as insta-tap moves, and since Danielson's debut they've used the Cattle Mutilation as the insta-tap but NOT the LeBell Lock.

"Yes" is fun for crowds to chant and I'm sure some will always say it - much like "what", it's in the wrestling fan lexicon forever - but you can tell AEW is distancing themselves from it with the return to the American Dragon name and the YGGYFHKI chant in his theme song. I'd honestly be fine with Yes chants fading out altogether.

Something tells me that Danielson will never escape Yes chants when he kicks people in the corner, but that's something I think I can live with.
