Bryan Danielson comments on health, status as a performer

[Chris]

“I was very cautious to not say ‘retirement,’ except for the match where if I lost, I’d retire (At All In vs. Swerve Strickland). But after that, it was all, ‘the end of my full-time wrestling career.’ But honestly, I feel – we don’t know what’s going to happen with my neck – but it honestly feels like I have a bobblehead.”

“I realized this with my last retirement, which was forced. I didn’t want to retire but they weren’t going to let me wrestle again. But what I found is, people are sad for a bit, they are sad for like this much, but then everyone just moves on and it doesn’t matter.”
