Danielson changed the course of WWE in a huge way by becoming a multi-time champion and breaking barriers for other smaller sized pro wrestlers.
While speaking on One Fall with Ron Funches, Danielson revealed that he didn’t like WWE booking him as an underdog, as it made little sense to him.
They wanted me to be an underdog,” Danielson said. “It was hard for the fans a little bit too, I think to connect with somebody who is an underdog, who, at this point, had won the title multiple times … Married also this beautiful woman who’s got a reality TV show. I’m really not an underdog in life anymore, right? Against Brock Lesnar, it’s super easy to be an underdog,” Danielson added. “When you’re wrestling guys that aren’t that much bigger than you or anything like that — or people who, they may be bigger than you, but from what they’ve done in their career-wise, the fans would expect me to win as opposed to me being the underdog.”
