Former AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson recently did an interview with Shawn Garrett.
During the show, he reflected on the regrets he had in wrestling.
“Definitely. There are things that I’ve done that have been foolish.” Bryan Danielson said. “The guy that I always wanted to wrestle but never got a chance to was Shawn Michaels. He was the guy who first trained me. He’s just one of those guys who’s a legend. You’d love to get that chance.”
“There was a period during 2013/2014 where I thought we were almost there and it could happen. That’s one. I got to be in the ring with Bret Hart once (at Summerslam 2010), on his team. Those kind of people are people, the “legend-style people” that I wish I could have wrestled.”
“As far as stuff I’ve done in wrestling, one of the things that I probably shouldn’t have done, yet still do it sometimes, is the diving headbutt. It’s really stupid. It doesn’t even that great a reaction. The risk-to-reward ratio is really low.”
“But there are some things that I do in the moment that I don’t know why I’m doing it. I think we all get those things. Everybody has vices. I don’t drink and I’ve never done drugs. None of that kind of thing. But sometimes, my vice is when I’m out there, doing something stupider than I probably should. It feels good in the moment. When I get to the back, it doesn’t feel so good!”
