His whole run in TNA was awesome. I wish they'd run with the blood eye and continue the Dark Order story. People though Chris was the leader before Brodie came so why not. Let her go out with a bang. I think it would be mega money. Dark Order is under appreciated as a stable.

It's crazy how Daniels is only 5 years younger than the Undertaker with a much more athletic style & can still go with guys in their early 20s, like think of the difference between Daniels now & 2017 Undertaker. Daniels has got to be the Tom Brady of wrestling where father time is being defeated

The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels is such a gem in the wrestling industry. Love the dude. I'm glad he's still killing it all over the place as well as holding a nice job backstage on AEW. Hope I see him back on Dynamite/Rampage/Dark/Elevation, soon.

The CD v AJ v Joe match is still one of my favorites to this day. It got me and my uncle into watching TNA for a time.

Forever Classic and favorite CD Match. Daniels Vs AJ Styles Vs Samoa Joe TNA Unbreakable 2005.

I love that CD uses the eye as part of his character in BTE. It'd be awesome if he could get back in the AEW ring and play it up while the discoloration lasts. I know I sure would!

Didn't think in 2022 I'd be listening to a Chris Van Vliet interview where a wrestler name drops Jim Kettner. Dude gave a lot of opportunity to guys on the independent scene.

Love how CD calls you C2V, just absolutely adorable.

Nick Wayne is the example of what CD says. Get buzz on the indies and Tony will find the coolest way to offer you a contract.

CD is right. The Low Ki/KENTA match from Final Battle 2005 is an all-time classic.

Yep. I hate that they seem to be basing the "5 star" quality on Meltzer's opinion. For many people, Low Ki vs. KENTA was a 5 star match. Just because Meltzer didn't think it was 5 stars doesn't mean it wasn't a 5 star match.

Fantastic interview! Man, I could listen to Daniels talk all day. Such great stories and such a great storyteller. Daniels is hands-down one of the greatest pro wrestlers of our generation, over 20 years of pure quality. Great to hear he's in the talent relations and coaching end of AEW too, a brilliant mind that can really nurture the next generation of pro wrestlers.

I only discovered Daniels last year. I wish i could have seen this dude from the beginning. Underrated legend

It's still contact I belive, he is really selling his story well... Subconjunctival hemorrhage extends just to the base of the iris since bulbar conjunctiva attaches at the root of the iris also it heals by a month max unless he had some sort of bleeding diathesis which I doubt a prowrestler had has....

I love this guy so much. He is a cornerstone of the Industry who has given us so many great matches over the years, and can still go! Thank you CD.

Tbh that eye could be used in a gimmick because it's that scary to look at. But still I wish Christopher the best and I hope we'll see him soon on Dynamite, I'm hoping for a storyline with him, Kazerian and Scorpio Sky which will conclude the SCU saga.

Great interview.

awesome interview 👍

I live in Seattle and had NO IDEA CD was our Defy Champ!! Of course, the last Defy event I went to was the month before the pandemic :\ I need to change that. In addition to CD being AMAZING, Kaz & Sky are two of the best AEW has that are CONSISTENTLY being over looked. I miss SCU super bad.

Ohhhh sweet eye! Great interview as usual Chris thanks!

He is just a good good dude. Glad AEW has him.

Love the fallen angel he's always been smooth on the ring, but how does tna only have 1 five star match ? But aew has 13 in 3 years early tna was dope af

i look at my knowledge of music like daniels said. I'm not the most talented musician but if you need advice ill love to give advice but only from what i know.i never hold back from telling anyone what i do not know. i look at it as we both learn from each other. coming from me whos been playing instruments for 21 years. im a sponge

When I saw CD’s “bookcase” start to sway, I legit got scared that it was gonna fall on him lol

I really wish CD would get a decent run in AEW, so many possibly great ones come to mind. With Orange, Swerve, Dax, Darby, Bryan, a really big one with Kenny (dream one for me, that one unfortunate timing in ROH is a sore letdown) and maybe even Sting, but Tony probably doesn't see sense in pushing someone that age for a long run.

CD V AJ VS Joe at unbreakable was the best match that tna did but I’d pull the sequel up there as well. I always watch unbreakable then the sequel when ever I feel like watching the match

Christopher Daniels is one of those guys whose minds would be incredible to learn from. I really hope he opens a school one of these days.

I’m a little over 10min in & I’m sad not hearing about the BTE stuff yet

How has AEW not capitalized on CD not trying to get revenge. Perfect time for the Fallen Angel and his red eye

CD!

37:16 "what are the odds of suicide or curry man make an appearance..?" "Definitely not suicide. Definitely not suicide."

He should wear his face paint from tna around that eye. Would look sick

If he isn't using his eye as part of his character, he should be, in my opinion. That would be cool! 👁

LMAO Johnny Sins had me dying

I agree that Daniels should be on the tna Mount Rushmore but I hate to say it but only if there was a Mount Rushmore for 8 or if there was two separate Mount Rushmore because if I had to pick four people in the Mount Rushmore of tna it would have to be AJ Styles Jeff Jarrett sting and angle The next four and no particular order would be Samoa Joe Robert Roode the Motor City Machine Guns and either abyss or Christopher Daniels whatever you prefer

Christopher Daniels. June of 2003 you and I met. You refused a fellow worker an autograph because you saw a fan without the $20.00 you requested. I had been in the business for 13 years and was working for MLW helping promote the show. Fast forward to September and I'm now retired due to injury. You never settled up, even though another worker did. You had the chance and failed. Same promotion, different show. Thank you, for you taught me how not to treat the fans.

@LokiTricksterG

Why would a "fellow worker" want another wrestler's autograph? Seems a bit unprofessional on that wrestler's part as it makes him seem like a fan instead of a co-worker. Maybe that's why Daniels refused. It also seems psychotic that you have a 20-year vendetta with a man over an autograph. Seek help.

The answer to why only one 5 star match is Meltzer was stone cold wrong because the iron man match with Daniels and AJ was actually a better match than that 3 way. Also he only gives 5 star matches to the Young Bucks when they are called the Young Buck, their matches with the Motor city Machine guns are better than most of the good AEW tag matches they have had.

Love Daniels but I hope he was being wry about why the Bucks have so many 5 star matches. It’s sickening that one guy’s opinion carries so much weight nowadays. Used to be Meltzer was practically a pariah amongst wrestlers, now you’ve got guys naming their finishers after him and Britt Baker’s first thought backstage being what Dave gave her match. At best, the likes of the Bucks and Omega are actively pandering to Meltzer’s tastes to get good ratings, at worst Dave has a financial stake in AEW or is on the payroll and has abandoned any pretence of journalistic integrity and objectivity
