From the Archives: I Made You a Danielson Playlist

Bryan Danielson, Daniel Bryan, American Dragon, or Lloyd Boner if you will, had a long and storied career even if it ended up being shorter than he and his fans would have liked. To distill it down into just a few matches feels cheap, especially since he more than any wrestler defined himself in the ring. He was a ring general, an artist, a storyteller; the superlatives are unlimited when describing him in the ring, and so I put together a YouTube playlist of a bunch of matches against various opponents for you to enjoy at your leisure right now. Of course, you can see most of his WWE output on The Network, but I included a couple of those matches as well.

The list of matches follow:

• vs. Tyler Black (Seth Rollins), Ring of Honor Southern Navigation, May 9, 2008
• vs. Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro), Ring of Honor Northern Navigation, July 7, 2008
• vs. AJ Styles, IWA Mid-South An IWA Homecoming, September 16, 2004
