Bryan Danielson: Why My Full Time Wrestling Career Has Ended

What a great image to finish this day off...sitting there with your daughter talking about how great the whole experience was. This is a wrestler/human who gets it. Legendary stuff.

He’s probably gonna drop it to Christian

[@tysontaggart7246]

No I think he's going to drop it soon, my money is on him dropping it in Washington, wrestle dream is at the beginning off October so its not too far off, and it's Bryan's home state, so I'd assume he'll have his real send off match there.

[@EdsterIII]

Bryan Danielson has been one of the most incredible technical wrestlers ever. His abilities are pretty much unmatched. Supposed Champions like hulk slow-gan can't even lace Bryan Danielson's boots. Bryan Danielson has had 60 minute Iron-Man matches, he's gone to a 60 minute draw. He's had some absolutely fantastic, unbelievable, amazing, phenomenal, and flat out 5-Star⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ or 6-Star⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ matches. He's also someone who doesn't whine or cry like again hulk hogan or hhh. I really hope and pray that Bryan Danielson is able to SAFELY, REPEAT SAFELY WRESTLE for a few more years. But only if it won't cause and long term damages. Congratulations Bryan Danielson on becoming the AEW World's Heavyweight Champion of the World! You DESERVE IT!!

[@Loyster14]

Pound for Pound Danial gave as good as he took. He has done alot in his career, baby face or heel. Congratulations you have earned a long rest. Look after your health , family is 1st Please teach those young ones the hidden parts of wrestling no the moves not the drama, the humility, respect , and appreciation of the fans

Christian vs Bryan gonna be crazy.

[@reformedleftie]

It's not gonna be Christian vs Bryan. Christian can cash in whenever he wants per the stipulation, so I bet they're gonna build that up for a while. And Bryan isn't holding the belt very long. I'd say Bryan drops it to Darby at GrandSlam or back to Swerve at WrestleDream.

[@wrestlingismyworld]

Why did they give the belt to Bryan if he’s gonna retire or be part time ? Are we gonna have another stupid tournament?

He'll probably be part time until he loses it, then retire.

what is the plan for Bryan?, have this one last champion run then call it quits or will he go for a few more years but in a more semi-retired i.e. part time wrestler basis?.

[@johanmanuelmartinezvargas8808]

Perhaps we are facing the best wrestler in history? And I'm not just talking about the modern era, but about all times above Ric, Bret, Stone Cold among others... or am I going too far? I'm sorry, but for me, although it is difficult to compare Bryan with Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan in terms of entertainment, Danielson for me makes up for it with how deep, legendary, and emotional his coronations have been. I open debate

[@Shubham56887]

Hey Renee,where is JON MOXLEY ??

SWERVE IS MY CHAMP

[@edwardfordyce6174]

Does he put Darby over on the way out? Or is he just a bridge from Swerve to Darby. MJF nor Bruv need a belt so keep them away

i thought 4 sure he was going 2 lose as most retirement matches r designed that way.look at flair and hbk he still has 2 defend the belt right? unless he gives up the belt which i dont think he would do.

Where is Mox these days?

[@CaptainTard]

[@onephatdude]

Sounds like Bryan is gonna be a transitional champion. Bizarre. I don't think we'll see him wrestle much going forward. It sounds like he's ready to spend more time at home with his family.

[@Zarkon619]

it would be a shame for aew to dont have DB in their record books as world champ

how about when you buy a wrestling company you see if you want to be out there? don't say you wouldn't until you've been in the exact same position.

[@mrgonzale0978]

so he's going to wrestle from time to time on PPV's I love this for him. then he should retire and then able to enter the hall of fame.

[@Close-mindedenemies]

So what does this mean for Strickland, back to mediocrity? I mean the man just got the title, the man just got a great position, and they knock him off his throne already. And not only did they knock him off his throne, they turn him into a heel after he just became a face.

[@Legit_Awesome]

Tbh they did swerve dirty. Was a heel or a face most the time. They kept changing him.

I don't get why these wrestling lack personality character so much all they can do is rely on selling their kids and family and husband and wife outside the ring lives just to get over. Look everyone has a kid. Parents everywhere working hard we get it. But who tf are you what makes you inter3sting outside of just displaying the fact you have responsibilities and a life like ours. Your on TV. BE LARGER THAN THE DAILY STEUGGLE HELP US TAKE OUR MINDS OFF IT. Not bring yours into play like everyone else. Wrestling is boring nothing but a bunch of guys talking about their family doing spot unnecessary predictable amd bland. Tell a story we can get behind. With personalities larger than life. Damn can't be that hard
