Bryan Danielson said that main eventing WrestleMania XXX
doesn’t mean that much to him in comments given to British
tabloid newspaper The Sun.
Danielson, who thanks to the power of the Yes Movement found
himself in not one, but two matches on the show and even won
the World Heavyweight title, lamented the fact that his then
soon-to-be wife was not allowed to come to the ring to
celebrate with him.
“Honestly, it doesn’t mean that much to me. My sister and my
niece got to come in the ring. But I was about to marry my
wife the following Friday and they wouldn’t let her come to
the ring, they didn’t want her to be in the thing,” he said.
His win over Triple H and then against Randy Orton and
Batista in a triple threat match certainly was one of the
biggest WrestleMania highlights ever but Danielson said that
there could be moments in a performer’s life that makes a
particular moment “not as valuable.”
“I was going through a ton of neck pain, and all these other
things, so these things that seem like cool moments to a
viewer, there’s all this other stuff going on in a
performers life, that could make that moment not as valuable
to them as it is to the people viewing,” he concluded.
Danielson got to celebrate with his wife and kids at All In
at London’s Wembley Stadium last year when he won the AEW
World title, recreating that 2014 moment 10 years later with
a happier ending for the American Dragon.
“What meant the most to me about that match was my family
being there. My kids got to see me wrestle, my daughter was
old enough to be able to remember it for the rest of her
life,” Danielson said about All In. “The idea of, you know,
now I’m just essentially a dad…my daughter will remember
this thing of 50,000 people at Wembley Stadium where her dad
was cool!”
