For many wrestlers, wrestling for WWE is the big dream, but for many others, independent wrestling and being in control of your career is the way to go. Just ask Daniel Bryan.
In a recent interview with Super Luchas, Bryan was asked whether he missed the days of being an independent wrestler, and he admitted that he does miss it…a lot.
“Yes … I really miss all that. And one of the things I miss is fighting with different people. Being independent you can fight with people you’ve never faced before, and that’s something I like. For example, on SmackDown I struggled with Buddy Murphy , and I was very excited, because I had never fought him.
“As an independent fighter, my mind was always working. ‘I don’t know who this boy is, I don’t know what he does, I’ve never been in this arena.’ I like those experiences.
“And it is also interesting because in spite of how great it is to fight at WrestleMania or fight tonight in Bogotá before ten thousand excited fans, I miss the feeling in independent events, even if there were only a few thousand or a few hundred. It is simply a different sensation.”
Bryan’s current WWE deal is believed to run until the end of 2021, by which time he will be 40. There is no reason to suggest he won’t stay with WWE beyond that point, but these comments seem to suggest that perhaps one day we’ll see the return of the American Dragon.
