Bryan Danielson had the world in the palm of his hands as he faced Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at the All In pay-per-view. With that said, Eric Bischoff hopes the match will be Danielson’s final bout as a full-time wrestler.

The past week has been a very significant time for AEW, as Bryan Danielson ended up defeating Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship in the main event of the AEW All In pay-per-view. The story heading into the match was the fact that Danielson was beatdown and ready to retire had he lost the bout, but he won’t be retiring just yet now that he is the new champion.

While speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff talked about Bryan Danielson winning the World Heavyweight Title from Swerve Strickland. He said he hopes this will be Bryan’s last full-time match because of all he’s achieved and the impact wrestling has on health. Bischoff praised Bryan as a great athlete, both mentally and physically strong, but advised him to retire while he’s still healthy.

Bischoff mentioned that Bryan has done a lot in his career and should now focus on enjoying life with his family. Bischoff noted that Bryan has made enough money to be secure for the rest of his life and should use this time to be closer to his kids. He hopes Bryan takes this opportunity to enjoy life outside of wrestling.

“I hope it is for Bryan’s sake, and for his family’s sake. Bryan’s an amazing athlete. He was an amazing athlete before he ever got into professional wrestling. He’s a real athlete, and he’s mentally tough and physically, obviously, very tough. But there comes a point when you’ve achieved so much — just stop while you’re healthy and you can spend the rest of your life being grateful for it without hobbling around or in a wheelchair, or worse. Kids are still so young. He’s made a ton of money. It’s not going to be an issue for him for the rest of his life. Dude, enjoy it. Get closer to your kids. You have an opportunity Bryan that very few people have at your age. So I hope he makes the most of it.”

Danielson will appear live on AEW Dynamite this week to celebrate his victory and discuss his future in the ring. In addition to that, his next match has also been revealed, so we’ll have to see if Danielson will continue to be a full-time wrestler for the time being.
