ROH’s Chris Daniels Interview: Word Association with Samoa Joe, Eric Bischoff, Kurt Angle and Sting

News

From the LA Times Blog with Chris Daniels:

On being in WCW at the end:

Well, I never got the opportunity to make a name for myself when I was there, but I did travel with them for about 8 months, and that’s where I made a lot of friends, most notably Lance Storm. Also I got to meet and become friends with Jeremy Borash and Bob Ryder when I was there, which went a long way towards me getting into TNA when they opened their doors.

On his Kids getting into wrestling:

Well, I would definitely try to educate them as much as I could about the pros and cons of a career in this business, and try to explain the mistakes that I made so that they can avoid them. But my parents,despite worrying for my well-being, were very supportive of my career choice once I made it, and I would do the same for my children.

Word Association:

Eric Bischoff: Very character driven, approaches his work like a real actor

Kazarian: One of my best friends, and a great wrestler, who’s finally getting the opportunity to shine in TNA

AJ Styles: A great competitor, one who I would be lucky to be linked with in terms of great rivalries in pro wrestling, also one of my closest friends.

Samoa Joe: Another great friend to me, and someone who has changed the perception of pro wrestling with his unique offense and skills.

Kurt Angle: One of the greatest athletes I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He sets a standard that may never be surpassed.

Sting: A real icon of wrestling. I grew up watching his early years, and was fortunate enough to get a chance to wrestle him during his long and storied career.
