Thank you, Bryan.
It is a sentiment many of the peers and friends of Bryan Danielson shared after his full-time career came to an end at AEW WrestleDream 2024 on Saturday night.
As noted, “The American Dragon” lost the AEW Championship to Jon Moxley in the main event of the show, and per the pre-match stipulations, will no longer be a full-time active wrestler.
The show went off the air inside the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, WA. with Excalibur literally crying as he called the end of the full-time career of Washington’s favorite son. Afterwards, the reactions started coming in on social media.
