Bryan Danielson spoke with Justin Barrasso of SI.com and raved about the Blackpool Combat Club faction. “I love this group,” Danielson said. “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.” Read more at SI.com.
Powell’s POV: I wish I enjoyed BCC even half as much as Danielson does. It’s great that he, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta are all friends and enjoy working together, but I actually feel like the group has been somewhat directionless. They don’t seem to have interest in dominating the title picture as much as their characters just enjoy having random fights more often than not. I feel like AEW would be better off if Moxley were positioned as a lone wolf type, and it’s really hard buying ultimate nice guy Danielson as a sadistic heel. None of this is meant to suggest that I haven’t enjoyed BCC at times, but it feels like the faction does more for Castagnoli and especially Yuta than it does for Danielson and Moxley.
Also, since Regal left, what connection does the group have to the English resort city of Blackpool?
Yeah,they need to change the name finally to “fill in the blank” combat club..
CTE is a hell of a drug. There’s nothing good about BCC anymore. There wasn’t much to start with, but now it’s just shitty, moronic garbage matches with the world’s most incompetent plumber blading himself on camera repeatedly and flat out talking to his opponents during matches before no selling their shit and walking off of matches while the camera is still rolling.
Fucking hell, it’s so disappointing to see Danielson being a fan of this low budget bullshit group.
Danielson thinks BCC club is great. Plenty of people loved the Twilight series. Justin Bieber made more money than every single person posting on this site combined will see in their lifetimes.
All three things go to show that no matter how utterly shit something might be, there will be people who like it.
