He is a very popular name and the fans would have no doubt loved his comeback.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of names that capture the attention of many wrestling fans and one of the most intriguing ones is that of Danhausen. The enigmatic wrestler is one that defies description but sadly for him, he has not been on AEW television for the whole of 2024.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/danhausen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Danhausen<\/a> was a guest on<em> Insight <\/em>with Chris Van Vliet when he opened up on how he pitched an idea for his return. He talked about a return that was centered around Halloween time and it seemingly got shut down by the Jacksonville-based promotion who wanted to keep postponing his return.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo I was like, well we could air these Halloween 3 style, annoying commercials until I come back and I was like, cool, and then it kind of just didn\u2019t happen. So I think that kind of sucked the air out of the return a little bit, in my opinion, at least for me, it did. It was built for Halloween, and then I could have came back the next week, and I just didn\u2019t. Then it took a little bit more time, and then I think I did come back on Thanksgiving, so it\u2019s like three or four weeks later, but I come out and I want to wrestle,\u201d he said.
