I wish him all the best in the AAA mid-card with Mr Iguana.
Holy shit, I forgot he existed!
So did Tony lol
Tony everytime Danhausen is in the building.
Tony booked him like shit. I wish him well in future promotion.
Yeah I can’t argue with that.
I think Tony just doesn’t like or get certain comedy aspects in wrestling and a lot of the time he “allows it” purely based on fan reaction. There’s been countless “comedy” acts in AEW that got over with the fans but were gradually buried over time.
When Danhausen was signed he was absolutely HOT on the internet and in the indies due to his own hard work. He was literally one of the best merch sellers in AEW when he was signed. like top 3. But I think the combination of Tony not ‘getting it’ and Danhausens personal friendship with the likes of CM Punk and Ethan Page didn’t help matters once they both left as he really had no one left fighting for him.
Also keep in mind when he was signed he literally just had that absolutely brutal leg injury and TK is the type of person to help people out in such cases so honestly his signing could have just been a sort of hand out.
I could see Danhausen doing alright in the low card of WWE or NXT as a comedy act and he has more friends over in the Fed right now that could potentially put in a good word for him. We know he’s a merch seller and could easily become WWE’s “homegrown” Mr. Iguana.
TK also isn’t a big fan of supernatural things (see Broken Matt and how that disappeared so damn quick for Big Money Matt or whatever the shit it was, and how little Abadon was used outside of Halloween appearances on ROH). Danhausen isn’t as ‘supernatural’ as them but his gimmick is still “I’m a demon”.
It’s funny that he isn’t a fan but every returning Wrestler gets a “Undertaker/Wyatt” entrance.
I mean…lights going out and back on to reveal someone isn’t a supernatural shtick even if supernatural gimmicked characters use it. That shit’s been around decades in every promotion under the sun, in every country, with every kind of wrestler lol. Fucking Matt Cardona has had lights out appearances lmao.
Death match king, Deadman waking, confirmed Zach Ryder is a mason
the problem with danhausen is that yeah he was hot on the internet but you can’t just coast on that for a decade and expect to remain relevant; he basically tried to be 2016 memes in 2025
Could definitely do an.NXTNA run, he’s got the merch down, he’s got the character down, he just needs wrestling and the performance center MIGHT be a way to make a wrestler out of him
