Bryan Danielson: There’s Not A Single Thing Left On My Wrestling Bucket List
Bryan Danielson has nothing left to accomplish.
The in-ring future of Bryan Danielson has been up in the air for almost a full year at this point, as ‘The American Dragon’ has previously said that there’s a 50/50 chance that he’ll ever wrestle again.
Speaking with SENQ 693 for a new interview, Danielson revealed that he has nothing left on his wrestling bucket list.
“Nope. Not a single thing. There’s not a single thing. It’s like — I’ve been very fortunate in my career to have some incredible moments and all that kind of stuff. I think, when I was forced to retire before, I wasn’t ready to be done. With the last six months of my wrestling career being in as much pain as I was, that kind of put me in this thing like, ‘Okay, you know what, I think I’m ready to be done.’ When I was forced to retire before, I was married but we didn’t have kids yet. It’s like, you go home and you have that full parenting life, it’s a whole another thing. I’m very fulfilled by my career, I’m very fulfilled by my life right now. I get to stay in professional wrestling, which is something that I still love to this day. I was just asked in an interview before that [if I] have any interest in being an actor, I’m like, ‘No.’ What I do for entertainment still is I read and I watch wrestling. On the plane here, I was watching old wrestling to show younger talent like, ‘Hey, here’s some things that people used to do in wrestling, here are some intricacies that have been lost in the evolution of professional wrestling that you could use today that would work really well.’”
Danielson recently appeared for AEW at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, sitting in on commentary until the main event.
