First time I heard about Danielson was PWI when they featured him and Spanky.  AFAIK he was the first indy wrestler that I was ever interested in so when I eventually heard he was doing ROH it made me want to at least look it up since I didn't have the DVDs yet.  I don't recall where I got the DVD but I loved the crap out of Era of Honor Begins so ROH was definitely my thing.  I didn't have the social circles to go to the shows and Philly seemed far away at the time.  But while I went to a show or two before my favorite of the bunch was the Dominion show.  He wasn't advertised so when they announced we were getting Danielson/Nigel I lost my shit.  I never looked up how this stacks up compared to their others but I was really into the whole thing and had a great time.

I haven't seen other Danielson matches live but did catch him on WWE shows a few times.  I don't recall many classic matches as if he was on it was regular TV matches or angle advancement stuff.  But I was there for his return at WM34.  It was exciting seeing him back but the tag structure felt way off for me.  I get the tag was meant to ease him into things but it wasn't the type of return I was looking for.  But I was happy to see him regardless.  Oh, yeah and then there's AEW Grand Slam.  I've covered that before but holy fucking shit man.  I decided that day unless there's some dream match I just can't/won't go back to Arthur Ashe.  The whole day was so special with a packed crowd losing their minds for this match and I still remember the piercing sound when he was doing the "Yes!" kicks.

Aside from that Natural covered the main beats so I don't have much to add.  But it's so hard to sum up Bryan's career in a few paragraphs since there's tons of things to unpack from all stages.  But he managed to sum it up quite well and I feel I'll need to get back on ROH club to watch the ROH matches on the list.

Cheers, mate.
