First off, I'm a big fan of Danielson and would love to see him in the WWE. He's a great wrestler. Of course being a great wrestler doesn't mean you'll make in in the mainstream. He'd need a character and I think the "American Dragon" would make a great one. By that I mean he could portray an American embedded in Japanese culture. It's really not that much of a stretch seeing as he has an extensive backround in Japan. He would basically claim that the wrestling in Japan is superior to that in America among other cultural aspects. His style would remain the same for the most part. Maybe he could insist on all of his matches being held under Japanese rules (20 count outside the ring). With rumors of WWE wanting to hire Japanese wrestlers, Danielson could have a stable behind him. He could threaten to win the World Title and take it to Japan. There would be a great deal of possibilities. However this will probably never happen. Just thought I'd share.

so he'd be a white guy who loves asian culture?
Team him up with Jimmy Wang Yang
So he'd be a heel Japanese Sympathizer? WtH is wrong with you? That's a jobber gimmick and he'd be challenging Hornswoggle for the cruiser title before doing that with a world title.
Hell it makes more sense for him to do that with the US title.
that's a stupid idea for his character. A REALLY stupid Idea. He'd be a Japanese sympathizer, when there are no Japanese heels

being reallistic it makes no sense, and is detrimental to his current off-the wall character. Seriously he's basically CM Punk without the tatoos, just bring him in to wrestle and he'll get over based on how good he is.
Giving him an out of nowhere "Japan is so cool" gimmick would suck.
Plus Japan's not that cool. Yeah i know we went through this last week, and my topic about it got deleted. But people don't really care about Japanese wrestling, not even the japanese.
Like Anime the American nerds are far more fanatic for it because "OMGZ Itz JAPANEZ datz kewlz"
the gimmick has no legs, and hey he'd be awesome if booked with a nerd gimmick
yeah that's better bring him in as Wrestling Nerd Bryan Poindexter, he'd wear a sweater vest and glasses with tape in the middle.

Just bring him in as Regal's apprentice. Have them be a tag team, have Regal do the talking and be his manager. And when you want to turn him face or superduper heel, have him turn against heel or face Regal.

Just do what they did with CM Punk. Have him pretty much be "himself", don't get a ton into the details, and just know that in the days of Youtube, fans will catch up pretty fast on what this guy is about.

I just think if he's going to call himself the American Dragon he could make a real character out of it. What he does now is fine. This is just something he could bring to WWE seeing as getting over as a great wrestler died when Benoit did (not saying that to be tasteless)

I agree with pretty much everything said here. Except, if Danielson came to WWE, I would just like for him to keep the gimmick he has now. That way when he fails and gets fired, there won't be the typical complaints of 'They messed with his character." That, or they can pull a Chris Harris/Gunner Scott with him and give him no character at all.

As long as he, like Punk has, can avoid the minor league label, he'd do fine.

Him having Japanese influence would be cool and help him stand out a little.
And anyone who doesn't think Danielson could make it in the WWE is forgetting he has friends with influence (Regal and HBK) who really want him there. WHEN he goes to the WWE (because I fully believe he will eventually) he'll be there a while. Even if he doesn't take off and win titles and stuff, he could have a Jamie Noble like role where he's an advisor/wrestler backstage. I personally think he'd do well, however.

I honestly think, if they book him like a 50's NWA style Golden Boy, he'd get over.
