Danhausen took to Twitter (or X, as it will never be known)
Can’t screenshot cos I’m on my phone but he said:
“Danhausen wants to wrestle.
Danhausen wants the old Danhausen back.
Danhausen wants to feel alive again.
Danhausen available limited dates of some sort.
#bookthatdanhausen@gmail.com”
To be fair to AEW, there really isn’t a whole lot you can do with Danhausen, especially when he’s a bit of an injury magnet when he is allowed to wrestle more frequently.

He just did a pretty awesome video segment for AEW so they clearly like the dude and have some sort of plan
I really do wonder how much his attitude has curbed things lately, seems like since the Punk drama he's just not been the same...

I LOVE Danhausen, truly, and his gimmick is one of the things that breathed some life into my love of professional wrestling.
Tony Khan has no idea how to book him, though. I'm not even blaming anyone for it, just that Tony has his vision of what he thinks wrestling should be, and Danhausen ain't it - he just knows that the crowd loves the guy. But he still has no idea what to do with him.

I mean I can't even say Tony Khan has no idea how to book him or use him, when the two times he's tried to use him, Danhausen has been seriously injured... gonna derail any momentum and plans that way, just sucks and I wish he didn't have such... ironically cursed luck

True but the injuries also kept him sidelined for quite awhile so I guess it just sucked for travel too

I'd like to imagine an extremely petty alternate dimension where he leaves for WWE, drops the gimmick, and comes in as CM Punk's best friend Daniel Colton (or Daniel Hausman if they want to be more subtle) who is constantly mooching off of Punk and begging for money.

I wish Dark were still around. He had a few matches on there. Why not try him in ROH if you can't find room for him on the main shows?

The guy was seriously injured and extremely miserable because of it, I don’t think he was in any state to be in character during that time.

Danhausen is a really awesome character that I have zero interest in seeing in the ring. TK signed him so he could get a cut of that sweet, sweet Danhausen merch money

Believe he lost a close family member or friend while injured too and he also got a lot of abuse online for being friends with Punk

Yeah, his injury wasn't like Adam Cole's current injury where he could show up with a cast on his leg and do stuff in crutches. He was in a ton of pain during recovery and couldn't even travel.

Danhausen seems like one of those silly, larger than life characters that would work better in WWE. He's got the same kind of comedic timing that has people loving R-Truth. Looks like he's starting to take limited indie bookings, I wouldn't be surprised if he just went and took a bet on himself when his AEW contract ran out.

Danhausen's a thing where I kind of mildly enjoyed it for a few weeks but think it's gotten extremely old. Kind of not really helped by how the man himself seems exhausting to deal with.

He was doing well before he got hurt. Something definitely feels different since the return.

I mean if he's saying "I want to feel alive again" then there's probably some shit that's way beyond AEW not using him enough even if he's focusing his bad feelings onto AEW. If dude's head isn't right and they can't agree on how to use him, something I think will only be harder in AEW tightening up its presentation in to the other direction from what his strengths are, then it might be best to let him forge out on his own. Neither side's seemed to get out of this what they hoped they would and I'm not sure there's an easy way to reconcile it. Even if it's as simple as Tony bumping the alleged planned Danhausen return week after week because it wasn't priority enough for him to bother, then that's a pretty clear sign this ain't flying.

I am not asking for "SERIOUSHAUSEN", but I do think he could stand to show a bit of a mean streak if you want to liven him up. Don't even really need to turn him heel, just have a heel really push it into a territory where he gets personal and Danhausen can't just brush it off with a curse.

He complained about things like hookhausen being broken up unceremoniously for no reason, and his constant he's coming back next week no maybe not in the past.... I also wouldn't be surprised if the stick him with the best friends but don't let him talk didn't sit great with him either. It does seem like they want his ability to move merch but don't actually know what to do with him. Especially if they are going the real sport angle as reported I am not asking for "SERIOUSHAUSEN", but I do think he could stand to show a bit of a mean streak if you want to liven him up. Don't even really need to turn him heel, just have a heel really push it into a territory where he gets personal and Danhausen can't just brush it off with a curse. I do remember right before RoH effectively died. He cut a promo that essentially was setting up a heel turn. It ended with him saying wondering if perhaps it was time to be a little less very nice and more very evil.
