He might not have been on the card for Clash in Italy, but WWE’s Danhausen is one of the hottest commodities in wrestling right now.
After a bizarre debut, Danhausen has quickly got himself over with the WWE audience and he’s already excelling in terms of merch sales.
Alongside that, his promo work is outstanding and we’ve seen recently that his in-ring work is also at the level required.
Quite how long Danhausen will last in WWE is anyone’s guess but according to ‘Good ol’ JR’ Jim Ross, Danhausen has found himself very fortunate.
Jim Ross tells WWE what to do with Danhausen
If anyone knows a talent in front of their own eyes, it is Jim Ross.
Now with AEW, Ross has spent his entire life around the best in the business both in the ring and backstage.
And speaking on the latest episode of his JR Grilling podcast, Ross explained just what could be next for Danhausen.
“He’s a very fortunate young man. He’s come along at the right place at the right time to get noticed and remembered,” Ross said of Danhausen’s recent success.
“I don’t know how long this run is going to last. It may last a year, it may last longer, or it may not last that long. You can’t judge the audience and what they’re thinking.
“Why has he motivated them? Maybe he was this hot all along, but when he was in AEW, he didn’t get a real opportunity to get over and create the identity that you have to have.”
Going on to give his advice to WWE on how they should manage Danhausen, Ross suggested the company go all in on him.
“If I was WWE, I’d have his ass on the road wherever the doors are open, civic centers, high school gyms, and everything else. If he was ever going to have a legit chance to become a star, this is it.”
Clearly, we might not see Danhausen at a level of a Roman Reigns of CM Punk.
However, WWE is a place where everyone likes something different and Danhausen certainly is that.
For now, he’s selling tickets and bringing in the money. TKO and WWE will keep him around however long that lasts for.
