Christopher Daniels Talks Backstage Role In ROH, How Much Longer He’ll Wrestle, WWE, ROH Global Wars
- Updated: May 3, 2016
I spoke to former ROH TV and Tag Team Champion ‘The Fallen Angel’ Christopher Daniels recently ahead of this Sunday’s ROH/NJPW Global Wars show. In the first part of the interview, I spoke to Daniels about his match alongside Kazarian against Jushin Thunder Liger & Cheeseburger, WWE’s Global Cruiserweight Series, and much more.

Ring of Honor’s PPV presence has really increased lately, especially with the relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling. How do you feel about that?
“I feel as if now both companies are benefiting from the relationship. Ring of Honor has always been about the best wrestling in the world, and by adding the New Japan talent into the game, it’s really upped everyone’s game.
