Daniel Bryan recently spoke with The Daily World, and says that the retired life is good, but that he still dreams of wrestling…
“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.”
Bryan, who works on Total Divas and is doing commentary for the WWE Cruiserweight Classic, is also enrolled in classes at Arizona State University. He says that fans shouldn’t feel bad for him…
“Realistically, no one should feel bad for me. I am getting paid to figure out what I want to do. Who gets to do that?”
