– Daniel Bryan recently spoke with FOX Sports about WrestleMania 31 and Connor Michalek receiving the first-ever Warrior Award at the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. During the interview, Bryan talked about winning the title at WrestleMania 30 and then going through tough times right after.
“Within the span of two weeks, I had a professional high,” Bryan said. “Then I had a high point of my personal life, getting married, and then the day after we came back from our honeymoon my Dad dies. That happened on a Monday. Then that Wednesday Connor dies. All of a sudden this is a personal low point in my life. A month later they tell me I need surgery, so now I am at a professional low point.
“The hard part about the professional low point and personal low point coming at the same time is that wrestling is always how I’ve dealt with personal issues. People think what we do is entertainment but this is how I express myself. To not be able to do that while going through this personal loss is very difficult.”
