It's tragic, but Daniel Bryan now faces life without wrestling (albeit aside from the chance of a backstage role), and despite the obvious emotion of the announcement he took to Instagram to say thank you to fans for their support:
"Just wanted to say THANK YOU. To all of you. The incredible amount of love and support you've given me, not just in the last 48 hours, but over my entire career, sends chills thru my body. My life is better because of all of you. Gratitude. Always."
