In case you didn’t know...
Daniel Bryan competed in the sport of professional wrestling from 1999 until his retirement last year.
He reportedly suffered concussion and brain damage issues owing to his lengthy career and has been advised by doctors to refrain from competing in the high-impact sport of pro-wrestling.
The heart of the matter
Jim Ross is widely regarded as one of the most knowledgeable personalities in the pro-wrestling industry, and has now taken to his blog in order to offer his take on Daniel Bryan potentially returning to in-ring competition. Below are a few excerpts from his statements regarding the same:
“Seems as if Daniel Bryan is having some fun trolling social media as he teases a return to the ring which I seriously doubt will or should ever happen. If his existing medical condition put DB in a higher risk category, then he needs to be the responsible husband and father and refrain from lacing up his boots again. Don't get me wrong, if DB could safely resume his career I'd be all for it as he is one of the great talents in recent memory."
What’s next?
Daniel Bryan presently serves as the on-screen General Manager of SmackDown Live. The 36-year-old’s contract with WWE will reportedly expire next year, following which he’ll be a free agent in the industry.
Author’s take
Now, Daniel Bryan has indeed stated that he’d love to resume in-ring pro-wrestling competition, and that it’s something he’s been working towards as of late. Nevertheless, concussion issues are no joke, and regardless of whether he resumes competing in the sport, here’s wishing ‘The Best Wrestler in the World’ good luck.
