Bryan Danielson Explains How Karaoke Helps Improve Work As A Performer

Pro wrestling veteran and AEW star Bryan Danielson appeared on an episode of The Nikki & Brie Show to discuss various topics, including going to a holiday camp.

Danielson said, โ€œIn 2003, I went to England and stayed there for six months. I did the Butlins Holiday Camp. For people who donโ€™t know what holiday camps are, they are all-inclusive vacations for families, mostly.

He continued, โ€œYou pay, letโ€™s say $1000 for a week, but with that $1000, you get all your meals paid for and all your entertainment is included. There are singers that come in, there are magicians, there is wrestling. Itโ€™d be the middle of the afternoon and youโ€™d go out there and wrestle in front of people, most of whom are not wrestling fans. They donโ€™t know what theyโ€™re watching. I was wrestling with an older wrestler named PN News. I was there because the wrestling part of wrestling has always been easy to me. The entertainment part was very difficult and very challenging. Thatโ€™s one of the reasons I went over there, to become a better entertainer for people who are not wrestling fans.โ€

On doing karaoke with PN News:

โ€œThis guy, PN News, who got blackballed from the American wrestling scene because he stole money out of peopleโ€™s bags. By the time I was there, I loved him, he was great. Great in the sense that I really enjoyed him as a person. He still had a problem with stealing. He couldnโ€™t walk into a gas station without stealing something. He was awesome. Just a really kind person, at least to me. He said, โ€˜If you really want to get better at this, what you should do is karaoke.โ€™ He and I would do karaoke all the time and other guys would come and do karaoke.โ€

Danielson added, โ€œIt teaches you to be a better performer, especially when youโ€™re a horrible singer, like me. When youโ€™re a horrible singer, you have to be a good performer, and I learned to become a better performer through doing more karaoke.โ€
