“The day of the big 6’7, 300lbs wrestler is over now. And I think with the indie scene and everything go on, I think now wrestling is more normal looking people instead of the big guys. And I have nothing against him. I’ve met him four or five times as Papa Shango. He’s very respectful. I wish him the best, man. That just goes to show you how wrestling’s changed. Now the number one merchandise seller is a voodoo guy. I wish I was around right now,” he said. (H/T: WrestlePurists)

WWE star Danhausen comments on his time in AEW

Danhausen recently discussed his time in All Elite Wrestling and how he was barely used by the promotion.

Speaking on the Cheap Heat podcast, The Very Nice, Very Evil star commented on his years in AEW. The veteran noted that the promotion barely featured him, and he spent most of his time while in AEW performing on the independent wrestling scene.

“No, you didn’t. You definitely did not. You saw me online a lot. Perception is reality. Danhausen would do vlogs backstage on his own and do videos with his enemies and his friendhausens, and he’d put those out there so maybe it seemed like I was doing more than I was. I was not there. I was doing the independent scenes. That’s what I was doing. About three a weekend or doing conventions and some sort like New York Comic Con and things like that,” he said. (H/T: Fightful on X)
