AEW star Bryan Danielson discusses his concerns over history of injuries
The former WWE Champion has had a career filled with injuries which even forced him to retire for a brief period of time.
In an interview with Renee Paquette for an episode of The Sessions at Starrcast V, Danielson explained that his brain scans after his last injury permitted him to continue with wrestling.
"It's interesting, this last one, he said 'after you start feeling better, we're going to have to have a serious talk about your long-term health.' I thought what that meant was, 'after you feel better I'm going to talk to you about not wrestling anymore.' Then my brain scans came back so goddamn good that not a single person could say anything about it."
The American Dragon made his latest return from injury in July this year. He ended up on the losing side against Daniel Garcia in his return match.
