Bryan Danielson recently did an interview with SI.com, where he discussed a wide range of topics.
During the interview, wanting to do the G1 Climax Tournament, but his health not allowing him to do it.
“Over the winter, I told Gedo, the booker in New Japan, ‘I would love to do the G1 this year!’ I’d just wrestled Zack Sabre in Japan [in February]. I was so excited. It all happened in the heat of the moment. I would like to think it would be possible. I don’t limit possibilities in my mind. But it seems unlikely.
My neck isn’t doing real great right now. So there’s my health. But even if Tony [Khan] freed me up for the entire summer and said, ‘Go do the G1,’ I wouldn’t want to leave my wife and kids for that long. I don’t think my wife would think it was good for my health, either. I’ve always wanted to do the G1. I don’t know if that’s going to be in the cards for me, and that’s OK.”
Danielson is slated to challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship in the main event of AEW All In at Wembley Stadium.
