>I saw him wrestle Nigel McGuinness at a ROH show in Liverpool, England. 2006 I think it was. Anyway they were both in the main event and the crowd at the Olympia Theatre was intensely cheering Nigel on.
>Danielson wasn't a heel at the time but did something truly spectacular by playing a subtle heel role rather than a blatant, antagonistic one. I'd never seen this before so I was genuinely on the edge of my seat seeing Nigel McGuinness take on a man whose only form of heat was sheer, soul sapping brutality.
>Every single elbow, every single slap, every single slam of Nigel's head into the ringpost garnered more sympathy for him at Danielson's own expense.
>The crowd was on fire when Danielson locked in the Cattle Mutilation, the "please don't tap" chants were deafening. People were literally on the verge of tears and the cheer of relief was heart warming when McGuinness escaped the deadly submission hold.
>Danielson's style of nuanced, subversive heel work was so outstanding that every single shred of offence Nigel McGuinness mounted was celebrated like a successful European night at Anfield and if you're still reading this shite Daniel Bryan had his fartbox sucked by Darren Young in 2010 and the crowd at the Liverpool Olympia was truly gutted when McGuinness passed out from the second Cattle Mutilation but still got to its feet to applaud these two gladiators of the squared circle
