I think if he was in any other promotion I wouldn't enjoy him as much. Being in RoH, which is like the only promotion in the country that isn't riddled with stupid shit and silly gimmicks just makes him so much more unique. This is why Dalton Castle looks like the biggest star in the world. In any other promotion he wouldnt stand out as much. In ROH he's soo over the top it works. Character can sell a talent. Dalton Castle and Danhausen would be utterly ruined by Vince McMahon, while they'd be kind of buried in AEW for different reasons (mainly because AEW is still a little too serious about characters.) These are types that travel well, however, and almost always add energy (and money) to a wrestling card. If more wrestlers starting out were to come up with unique characters with a bit of comedy to them, they'd never be out of work and promotions would pop up all over the place just to book them. Journeyman goals, folks.

Journeyman goals, folks. Character is more important to me than ring talent. KOR and Cole might put on a banger at Takeover but I'm way more interested in what guys like Grimes and Lumis are doing. The guy from DDT was getting a lot of buzz on Dark last night, I was way more interested in the team dressed as a lion and a tamer.

So you know how Danhausen sometimes has a running gag where he pretends to be Conan O’Brien?
Well, guess whose on today’s Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast?

I thought he missed out on a big chance to get himself and RoH more exposure. He didn't mention where he wrestled once, or even give a taste of the gimmick. He was obviously super excited to be on, but I wonder if he'll regret not being more of a salesman in hindsight.

He said to SRS that his contract was up at the end of the calendar year and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody like AEW jumped at him given he's got ties there with Orange, Cody, etc. ROH is basically using him on pre-shows and not much else from what I've seen.

He's out of character and it's interesting. I'm kind of shocked he did it completely out of his gimmick. Seems like both a missed opportunity AND a bleeding away of some of the mystique behind the gimmick.

Seems like both a missed opportunity AND a bleeding away of some of the mystique behind the gimmick. Could have very easily been requested from the podcast themselves rather than what he’d want. Like, Howard Stern wasn’t a guy who’d let people go on his show as anything but themselves (one of the reasons why The Dictator didn’t appear on his show during the time that came out and Sasha Baron Cohen did).

Between The Rock and getting blessing from Punk and Kenta to use the GTS. He's getting all the legend cred recently.
I just watched a match last night on IWTV where he faced Mike Bennett in a really good match at a recent indie show, Danhausen is getting really good in the ring on top all the wacky stuff that goes into the matches.

I saw Bennett praise him after that so I'm glad. As an aside, I'm happy for Mike Bennett. I know people make jokes about him but he seems like he's in a much better headspace than he was in WWE and I can't help but feel good about that since he seems like a really good guy.

I wish more current wrestlers had official websites.

It shocks me ROH doesn't see a bigger use for this guy. He's basically getting himself over better than ROH has in using him at all. I do think however him signing with ROH was a good holdover to continue to get paid, and to continue to find what worked for the gimmick and improve himself in ring. I feel like he's a better commodity now than he would have even been last year for a company like AEW to look at. He's proving his worth and popularity what seems to be more by the day.

I find the guy hilarious in nearly everything that I've seen him do so far, big fan of his work.
