5 rare photos of AEW stars as children

#2. AEW's Bryan Danielson in one of his youngest photos

Bryan Danielson in his formative years

Bryan Danielson is widely regarded as one of the best pro wrestlers in the world. His reputation in the ring has led him to be counted among the greatest talents of all time. The veteran performer has an innate grasp of technical wrestling and is currently doing it better than anyone in the business.

Bryan Danielson has enjoyed a prolific career, going from king of the indies to the main event of WrestleMania, and now to All Elite Wrestling. Part of his training was overseen by the legendary Shawn Michaels, so it should be no surprise that the American Dragon has made such a big name for himself.

The photo above shows Bryan Danielson as a baby. It's hard to imagine that this fluffy little person grew up to be the legendary wrestler we know today.

#1. AEW's Chris Jericho sporting a bowlcut hairstyle in his childhood

Chris Jericho was one of the first big signings Tony Khan made for All Elite Wrestling. It's undeniable that Jericho coming onboard gave the promotion some much-needed legitimacy in its early days.

This has snowballed into the present day as AEW has risen to compete with WWE. Throughout the last three years, Le Champion has had as big an impact in the company as anyone else.

The above picture was shared by Jericho himself on his official Facebook page. Y2J must have been taking a trip down memory lane when he came across the school photo. It's almost bizarre to think that young Christopher Irvine with a bowl-cut would grow up to be the legendary Chris Jericho.
