It has been established for a while now that Bryan Danielson will be ending his active in-ring career in less than a year, as his body simply can’t take all the wear and tear he has been receiving over the years.

The answer is also a question. ‘What are you going to do with this one wild and precious life?’ For me, I’m going to fight. That’s what brings me joy. That’s what makes me feel alive and I’ve got it for less than a year now. I can feel the end coming, but the end’s not yet. I’m still in the game. I still have a chance to make it to the semifinals of the Continental Classic. Do you know how long I’ve wanted to be in a tournament like this? With these men, somebody like Brody King, just going after me knowing I’m hurt and going after me with everything that he’s got. Do you know how much I love that? It might hurt but I love this.”

Bryan Danielson also started performing his signature ‘Yes!’ chants and broke the rule. It remains to be seen whether Bryan Danielson will make his way to the finals of the Continental Classic Tournament.
