United Arab Emirates’ Sport 360 recently talked to WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan, who talked about his injuries, his future and more. Bryan commented on where he thinks he is at healthwise compared to WWE’s diagnosis, and much more. You can read a few excerpts below:
Is his in-ring career over?
No, at least not in my mind. WWE might be thinking that but I feel great. I feel like I’m ready to wrestle. If they called me to wrestle tomorrow I would. It’s just a matter of getting cleared. I’ve had a long history of concussions, so they are a bit hesitant to get me back.
I’ve learned a lot about concussions during this process. I met with one of the top neurologists that specialise in concussions in the United States. They can check me after every match, but to make sure I reach a baseline level to what my mental capacities are.
Relinquishing the WWE/Intercontinental Championship to injury:
It’s was very frustrating, but more the health aspect of it is: the title part isn’t the big deal. The big deal is how wrestling is the way I express myself creatively, not being able to do it has made me frustrated. I’ve tried to transition this into gardening but it’s not the same. I’m working on it though!
Does he have any thoughts on fan response if he returns?
When I came back from neck surgery I felt like I didn’t miss a bit in terms of fan support. It will be interesting to see what it will be like when/if I come back from this one. I feel like when you get multiple injuries then fans start to lose faith in you.
