Tony Khan says 42-year-old AEW star is the smartest person he's ever known: "I've never met anybody like him in my entire life"

AEW President Tony Khan knows a thing or two about how good his roster is. During the ROH Final Battle Media scrum, Khan went out of his way to praise one of the most popular members of his locker room.

That wrestler is none other than 42-year-old Bryan Danielson, who recently returned to the ring after his orbital bone surgery and is once again performing in some of the most intense matches in All Elite Wrestling. Khan had only good things to say about Danielson:

"He's living on the edge. He's amazing. I've never met anybody like him in my entire life. He's had 3 major injuries this year, and he's come back better every time. He's the smartest person I've ever known. Not only in wrestling, but any walk of life. He's become the greatest wrestler of all-time. It's an honor and privilege ." he said.
