Ric Flair Praises Bryan Danielson, Compares Him With Kenny Omega
There was a time when WWE was impossible to imagine without him. But time does not stop for anyone. Bryan world never the project of being the face of the promotion for WWE. It has always been Roman Reigns, and finally WWE succeeded in what they were planning to do from a long time.
At the WrestleMania Backlash pay per view event, Bryan fought his last match in WWE against none other than Roman Reigns. It was a title vs career match where the WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship and Bryan’s career was on the line.
Bryan lost the match and that was the end of his WWE career. After a number of months she shocked the entire world when he joined the biggest Rivals of the WWE, the AEW. It was actually a huge shock for everyone, and definitely a big boot for AEW.
A lot of WWE fans accused Bryan for betraying WWE. Bryan even received a lot of hate comments on social media from the die hard WWE fans. It actually shows the impact of Bryan in WWE, it shows how much WWE fans valued him. So it was a sort of a betrayal if someone looks at it from this angle.
Bryan was not the only big name that AEW signed this year. There were many other former WWE stars that the new professional wrestling promotion was able to sign. One of the biggest name among them has to be CM Punk. A dream feud between CM Punk and Bryan can finally be witnessed.
Ric Flair who is a former sixteen times World Champion as recognised by WWE recently spoke on his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast where he talked about Bryan Danielson who mostly became famous as Daniel Bryan in WWE. He gave his view on the former five times WWE World Champion and compared him with Kenny Omega. He said;
“It’s okay. I didn’t say he wasn’t a good worker. When Hunter put him over at [WrestleMania 30], that made him. He’s a very talented kid, don’t misunderstand me, but you have to have one match, one place, one day, somewhere that makes you who you are.
“Hunter, who only wrestles once in a while, came out and the match started off slow but they ended up having a world-class match. He’s a hell of a performer, I don’t see him as being Kenny Omega. As a babyface, he’s not Ricky Steamboat. As a heel, he’s not me. If that pisses people off, they have to live with history.”
