Daniel Bryan Talks Retirement: “I Have to Keep My Mind Away From Wrestling”

Seeing Daniel Bryan around wrestling is a good thing. Even though it’ just commentating, it’s still great to see him doing well, and he has such a great mind for the business that it sucks to let it go it waste.

Recently, Daniel Bryan spoke with The Daily World to discuss how he’s been adjusting to retirement since February and what it’s like to not have to think about wrestling every day anymore.

You can read the full interview right here. Below are some of the highlights:

“You can also call me a New York Times best selling author. We’ve been decluttering the house and I found a list of things I wanted to do, writing a book was one of them. I think I had more of a novel in mind than (an autobiography).

It has been good, but it is weird, because my life had been so busy before retirement. Now, you have all of this extra space and time. Because I was forced into retirement and not wanting to retire, I have to keep my mind away from wrestling. It is borderline painful. OK, so how do you fill your mind when you have filled it with this one thing for so long? I’ve experimented with gardening. I love it, but you don’t love it like that.”

“A part of my mind hasn’t accepted it. I wake up sometimes with dreams of wrestling. This literally happened to me (the night before the speech). I was in Las Vegas and I flew in. I woke up this morning from a dream where I was going to wrestle and I’m not. I have to remind myself at times.”
