Dan 7 is an underrated and awesome dude, mostly because he could kick your ass, but also he'd probably want to give you a hug.

0:06.9

He's one of these individuals that's that really strong, but also lovely.

0:10.8

I would definitely urge you to go on YouTube and watch the interview we are going to refer to today from Dan,

because not only does he talk about his own WWE process and how the creative world works,

he also mentions how somebody once proposed the idea of him having 6-66 on his forehead, essentially becoming a member of the Ministry of Darkness.
