"I have always tried to do the things that I know I can do no matter what part of the match it was in. I’ve always told other wrestlers that, in terms of staying safe and staying smart, you do the things that you can do whether it is the first five minutes of the match or the last five minutes of the match," said Daniels. 

While he does not consider himself a "high-flyer" he admits from an outsiders perspective a 48 year old wrestler pulling off moonsaults might seem funny but he knows exactly what he'♛s doin🍨g. 

"Whatever acrobatic things that I do that seems high risk to other people, to me it is a very calculated risk. Those are the risks that I take any time I wrestle. I know that no matter what I am doing. If it seems dangerous, it is something I know I can do 10 times out of 10," said Daniels.
