For Savate-Kick Saturdays and locally roasted coffee. For being family when we\u2019re away from family. For making me look good when I didn\u2019t feel good. For deep conversations and pointless debates. For making me laugh \u2014 both in the best of times, and the worst. For all the small things that make life as a wrestler just a little bit more fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Danielson also thanked Vince McMahon. &#8220;Thank you to the Big Man, who I know hates to be acknowledged,&#8221; said Danielson. &#8220;I won\u2019t say much, but thank you for the conversations, the life lessons (about both what to do and what not to do), and the best hug I\u2019ve ever received. I wish more people could see you how I see you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Danielson made his first AEW appearance at All Out in early September.
