Bryan Danielson talks Blackpool Combat Club

[Chris]

Bryan Danielson believes the Blackpool Combat Club should never break up.

The faction formed at Revolution 2022 when William Regal made his AEW debut. Following Moxley's defeat of Danielson on the show, Regal broke up a post-match brawl between the two. Wheeler Yuta was added to the group the following month and Claudio Castagnoli joined that June. Since then, the BCC have played a major role in AEW storylines, including a lengthy program with The Elite.

Danielson recently told Sports Illustrated that there is a real connection within the group, and he feels they make each other better performers.

“Our connection as a group feels real,” says Danielson. “That’s because it is. The story is we train together and we make each other better. The reality is that wrestling together, we do make each other better.”
“Even when Regal left, we didn’t break. And he’s still on our BCC group chat.”

Danielson continued to say he doesn't want the BCC to ever break up.

“I love this group,” says Danielson. “This should be a group that never breaks up. Mox and I have wrestled since the BCC started, we wrestled in the championship tournament [last fall]. That didn’t cause any disturbances in the BCC. That’s the story of the BCC. When the BCC loses, we’ll shake hands and go back to training the next day.”

Danielson is currently out of action with a broken arm suffered during his match with Kazuchika Okada at Forbidden Door. Our own Dave Meltzer reported in last week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Danielson is expected back in October but could potentially return in time for AEW Grand Slam in September.

BCC members Moxley and Castagnoli will be in action on tonight's Dynamite from Columbus. They'll face The Lucha Bros in tag action. Moxley and Castagnoli are coming off a defeat of The Best Friends in a Parking Lot Brawl on Friday's Rampage.

I thought the BCC won that match?

Yeah just a typo, sloppy sheets

 

[Butters]

I guess "defeat of the best friends" would mean they won but it's just worded strange.

This group is just dragging everyone involved down.

Bryan was the best damn heel when he was solo, now he's just in this group doing nothing.

Claudio is just a Moxley slackey and if you don't give a shit about ROH you wouldn't know he does anything else.

Fuck Wheeler Yuta.....nothing.

BCC have been great and my favorite part of Dynamite lately, along with MJF and Cole. Glad that Danielson wants to keep it going forever.
