Daniel Bryan Deeply Frustrated He’s Not Wrestling

Daniel Bryan hasn’t been able to wrestle in over seven months. There is nothing medically holding him back except the green light from WWE’s medical team. The rumor is WWE feels unsafe putting him back in the ring due to his history with concussions and the condition of his shoulder.

During his recent tour in India to reveal WWE’s major announcement that there will be two live events in the country, Daniel Bryan spoke with The Statesman about his frustration of being kept out of the ring and other topics.

The full interview can be seen right here. Below are some highlights of the interview:

On WWE stars facing overexposure:

“Now, what we see is a three hour RAW and two hour SmackDown. While the previous generation’s struggle was getting exposure, we battle overexposure. So, the ones who handle overexposure the best and manage to not get the fans bored are the ones who end up wrestling for years. They know how to interact with people in all the settings, so it’s just natural that they become popular.”

On teaming with Kane:

“Literally, working with Kane was one of the finest parts of my career. It took me to the next level. People couldn’t wait to see us together on TV because we were really entertaining. He has wrestled for a while and he has been wrestling for a long time, with all the great guys, including The Rock, Steve Austin, so it was a great learning experience. Kane is a wonderful human being. He is a pleasure to be around.”

On his frustration with being kept out of the ring:

“My wife is a wrestler, so she is on the ring, and I am just sitting, it is difficult… when I am upset, when I am angry, wrestling was always there as an outlet.. I could go, drop and kick… you can call your mom and you can call your sister… but sometimes you just need a physical outlet… I don’t know how to cope with this situation.”
