John Silver recently spoke with the folks from Wrestling Purists for an in-depth interview.
During the discussion, the Dark Order member spoke about being nervous the first time he got into the ring with Bryan Danielson in AEW, as well as how he learned from him during their first match.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On admitting he was super nervous the first time he got to wrestle Bryan Danielson in AEW: "Yeah, that was my first time wrestling him (Bryan Danielson). I think I was on one other show with him ever on the indies before he came to AEW. That was a big thing, I was nervous, I don’t really get as much anxiety, or I don’t get nervous as… I do [get] nervous, but this for some reason was like a different level. He’s also one of my favorite people to watch wrestle and he’s so good. He’s one of the best in the world, if not the best in the world, so it was big, I was super excited, super nervous."
On how much he learned from Danielson during the matchup: "I did learn but it’s more inside wrestler, just like timing stuff, it’s hard to explain exactly what that means but certain things in the ring he definitely showed me and it was good to feel that. It’s always good, like you could watch someone wrestle and you kind of learn, but also it’s when you’re in there, you kind of see it a different way, so it was really cool. I learned a lot from him. [It] was a really big, awesome moment for the first wrestling for AEW in Long Island, in the main event against one of the best wrestlers in the world, it was awesome."
