10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 12)
4. Daniel Bryan Has Suffered At Least 10 Concussions
There's still a lot of emotion surrounding the fact that Daniel Bryan has retired from in-ring competition. Fans have taken to social media to express their condolences to the man, who has been forced from actively wrestling due to a myriad of healthy and injury problems. Fans haven't been alone, many of the man's peers have left tributes to his body of work. Speaking with former WWE employee Jonathan Coachman for ESPN, Bryan reiterated that it was important that he move on from wrestling. It was clear that he was still pensive about what he had said on Monday Night Raw, hanging up his boots and announcing his retirement. Nonetheless, another stunning fact revealed by Bryan shows that it's a good thing he decided to do so. Over the span of his 16 year pro career, Bryan suffered at least 10 different concussions. Given what is known about the head injury nowadays, that's pretty darn scary. Note the words, 'at least', the former wrestler is unsure if his concussions have been limited to that amount.
