Eric Bischoff urges Tony Khan to give Bryan Danielson a role change

Bryan Danielson's slew of injuries could mean he's nearing the end of his in-ring career. Eric Bischoff believes Tony Khan would be wise to begin integrating Danielson into creative as soon as possible. 

When speaking on a recent episode of his "83 Weeks" podcast, Bischoff noted how Danielson can elevate AEW's storytelling and become an integral part of AEW's behind-the-scenes efforts.

"When I was working in WWE back in 2019, I hope I’m not speaking out of school here, but I know that Vince McMahon was very impressed with Bryan Danielson," Bischoff said, as transcribed by Fightful. "His creative, his psychology. I know that there was some conversation, I don’t know how serious it was at the time. Vince mentioned to me that he was possibly interested in bringing in Bryan Danielson to be very involved in the creative side of things...That is where the potential upside is, long-term for AEW. That’s the breath of fresh air, frankly, that AEW needs. If I were Tony, I’d give that Collision show to Bryan. Not just be my right-hand man and bounce ideas off. Give it to him. Say, ‘Here you go. Here’s your notepad, here’s your computer, here’s a pen. There’s an office."
