“The American Dragon” is going in to what could be his last match ever, depending on the outcome, with a “trashed” neck.
Bryan Danielson spoke with Bleacher Report to promote his career vs. title showdown with AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland at AEW All In: London at Wembley Stadium in London, England on August 25.
During the discussion, the Danielson spoke about the condition of his neck heading into the high stakes showdown on 8/25.
“My neck is trashed,” Danielson said. “But other than that, I feel good. One of the things that I’m good at is experiencing pain and it not necessarily affecting me much.”
He continued, “It doesn’t really affect my mental space The only thing that it does kind of affect is my parenting because our son is four and wild. He loves jumping on my back and jumping on my neck, and I’m like, ‘Argh, stop!'”
Despite his neck being in rough shape heading into such a big match, Danielson made it clear that when the bell sounds, regardless of what is going on with him physically, he feels invincible.
“It affects my training and that sort of thing,” Danielson said. “But other than that, I feel good. The odds are, by the end of the year, I’m probably going to have to get neck surgery or whatever it is. But right now, it feels manageable. And when I get out and wrestle, I feel invincible. So that’s not even a concern.”
