My brother just told me D Bry retired any word on this???
Daniel Bryan conducted a local interview today in his hometown of Aberdeen, Washington for 92.7 KGHO to promote his book where he spoke candidly about his career in the independent scene, his time with the WWE, his role on Tough Enough, his father, and many more. During the interview, Bryan mentioned that he didn't really keep up with the product and that while he's appreciative that fans still acknowledge him, "they need to move on". Here's the quote:
Host: But then again Bryan, I know. You're doing Tough Enough. You still have some exposure so people are going to acknowledge you. What's your take on this Sunday's Battleground?
Bryan: Right. Tough Enough is pretty easy. They fly me in, I go to the barracks, I sit down and we do a segment where I talk to them. It's quick, straight to the point and once I am done, I'm flown back home. It's easy and I love it. Especially with the position that I am in. Battleground? I'm not sure. To be quite honest I don't really have time for the current product apart from NXT; fans should focus on what's important and not hold on to my name. That's in reference to them still acknowledging me. I only do Tough Enough and Tough Enough should be about Tough Enough and not me. It's about those young men and women who want a future in this company. For those waiting for my return I appreciate it but let's focus on what's going on right now. I've had my time and it's over so it seems but there's an abundance of talent on the main roster for them to pay attention too. Just let it go.
Host: Do you ever get fan mails or like just cat calls in public from people wondering about your status?
Bryan: All the time. Some of it creeps me out to say the least. Especially the letters. Man, they send these long letters telling me how much they appreciate me and everything and I love it. Really I love it but sometimes it's just way too much for me to muster. It's amazing how much those guys can hold on to something.
After this segment the interview reverted back to his time in the independents and a few updates on his injury. He also talks about his relationship with Brie Bella, the infamous slap, his father, and more. KGHO usually archive their interviews a week after it airs, so it should be on their website next week no later than Friday.
