Vinny Pacifico is one of the rising stars in the independent wrestling scene. He recently competed in a trios match in AEW. Pacifico had recently shared the advice he had received from former AEW and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson.
While speaking to Sid Pullar of the TakeDown of Sports Illustrated, Vinny Pacifico shared that Bryan Danielson motivated him and gave him some insight on professional wrestling.
“I went to a meet and greet in the city with my father. I was like so excited for it, I had a few of my friends with me, I had a meet and greet with Bryan Danielson,” Pacifico said. “I asked him for advice, I said, ‘hey you really inspire me, I love you, I would love to start wrestling, do you have any advice or insight?’
“He was so motivational, he’s like, ‘go for it.’ Took his time to talk about it, gave me some insight, and that was something that was special to me and I’ll never forget that. And I hope down the line I pay that forward when people ask me for advice.”
“I always want to be motivational to other people, but he is somebody who I’m sure a lot of people have got inspiration from him and learned from him and love his work. So yeah that was an amazing experience meeting him and that was when I knew 100% this is what I’m gonna do.”
