Reacting to recent comments from AEW star Bryan Danielson about being content with his career and recognizing when “enough is enough” regarding the physical toll of wrestling, Eric Bischoff expressed strong agreement and admiration on his “83 Weeks” podcast.
“Yeah, I mean, look at any walk in… any profession, particularly when you reach the level that Bryan did… it’s 25 years of his life… giving up my body for the business,” Bischoff related. “…People say that all the time… it almost doesn’t mean as much as it should, because these guys do get busted up… injuries, they stick with you… get worse over time…”
Bischoff fully endorsed Danielson’s perspective on priorities when considering stepping away. “So if you can get out of this business… when you’ve got your health, you’ve got your family, you’re financially secure… what other boxes do you have to check? So good for him or anybody that gets to that point where they go, ‘You know what? I’ve checked all the boxes…'”
He concluded emphatically, “That’s, man. That should be everybody’s goal.”
