So he's been around forever...was trained by HBK...has a nice cult following and seems to be very good in the ring...
so my question is...how come this guy has never made it past ROH?
If he is so good how come the only WWE match he ever had was a squash match vs. Cena on Velocity?
I keep waiting for this guy to be the next great technical star in the business on my TV but to no avail...
so what's his story? How come he can't make it to the top of the business...or has he just not been given the opportunity yet? And if not, how come?
He seems pretty good to me.

He's turned down the chance to go to WWE and TNA in the not too distant past. He likes doing what he's doing.

I can see him eventually going to WWE, but only when he's ready.

He didn't want to go to WWE at that time. Plus I heard that the WWE wanted him to "get tan" or something and that played a part. But probably take that with a grain of salt.
As for TNA, I'm pretty sure that's his choice, and I don't blame him. It really doesn't fit his style. He's much more an old-school kind of wrestler who doesn't work in their "video game" style mentality.

Yeah, with his contacts in WWE and such, I'm sure Danielson will be able to wrestle in WWE when he wants to, I think he just wants to continue growing as a wrestler and getting more experience worldwide before he makes that commitment.

He's wrestled quite a few times for WWE on Velocity (miss that show, BTW), one match in particular against John Cena which wasn't bad.
He doesn't wish to go though WWE has expressed interest in him, and guys like Regal and Benoit have complimented him, I'm sure he'll be there someday if he wants to.

I remember him saying at the beginning of his Title Reign that as long as he's champ, he wouldn't leave to go anywhere. As for now, I'm sure it's because of the fact that he won't get anywhere in WWE. He can put on fantastic matches with Benoit, Regal, or Finlay, but they won't let them actually go.

I read an interview with him awhile back where he said he'd rather be contacted by the WWE and be handed a good angle to be brought in on than just be a good who goes there, mainly since he has a lot of contacts there. If he really wanted to, he could probably make a few calls but he'll be with ROH for at least a year now

He really doesn't want to. if he wanted to go to WWE, he could. I mean, look at his contacts there.
HBK(his trainer)
Regal(who thinks VERY highly of him)
Benoit(same)
Punk(ROH)
Cabana(ROH)
Steel(ROH)
London(ROH)
Noble(ROH)
Spanky(ROH)
and he has a ton in TNA,also(Joe, Ki, Daniels, Homicide).
I think he is just insanely happy where he is. He is THE GUY in ROH right now

Well I was under the impression that Danielson believed that television was evil or some BS like that and that was the reason why he'd never do WWE or TNA full-time. I swear I read that somewhere...

He really doesn't want to. if he wanted to go to WWE, he could. I mean, look at his contacts there. HBK(his trainer) Regal(who thinks VERY highly of him) Actually when Danielson was under WWE contract (Developmental) back in memphis Regal was head trainer over there and well he took a special interest in Danielson. For Danielson he mirrors Regal a lot from his technical Catch Style wrestling to his stiff hits, hell you could see his HBK influence in his quickness and his ability to get a crowd right into a match. Really that's such an awesome pedigree to have. He's also spent a lot of time with Liger. Really AmDrag has wrestled almost everywhere where wrestling matters, well I don't know if he's wrestled in Mexico. But i could definitely see Danielson in WWE someday, his style seems perfect for WWE. He's a lot like Regal and HBK...with a hint of backlund and he wrestles a "low impact" style, he could definitely be awesome in WWE as a midcarder. Not really a main event wrestler in my eyes, but really he could really be awesome in WWE considering the talent they have now. I think MVP/Danielson would be bonkers. |

I think he wants something to fall back on when WWE fired him for whatever reason.

I've heard a few reasons, one is he's still in Uni & doesn't to be on TV while there. I've also heard that if Danielson ever wants a job in WWE all he has to do is ask & he's got it. Also "never made it past ROH" is kinda insulting, especially since he chooses to stay there but you didn't know that.

That would be the absolute dumbest reason not to go somewhere. But then again..Kazarian left WWE because they told him to cut that generic pony tail. |

Being in NJPW and NOAH is past ROH, in my view. He gets to do a show in front of 2000 people to shows with 4000-6000 people.

Danielson is will be in the WWE someday. He's just taking his time enjoying the indy schedule, getting experience around the world, and learning as much as he can. I assume when he wants to get to the world wide audience he will want to be at his very best. He has alot of thing going for him besides all his friends in the WWE, including his biggest improvement in the promo and character departments. The scary thing is hes only 26 years old and has that style that will allow him to wrestle well into his 40s like Regal, Flair, Benoit or Finley. He still younger then Benoit was when he signed with Wcw.
