In an interview with Sports Illustrated, WWE Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart commented on the injuries that have taken their toll on Daniel Bryan and believes that Bryan’s wrestling career as a result is over.

“Daniel Bryan is finished, he’ll never wrestle again, I don’t think he knows it yet. I feel terrible about Daniel Bryan. For all intents and purposes, he had the exact same thing happen to him that happened to me after Bill Goldberg kicked me in the head [ending Hart’s career].

One day, you learn it’s over, doctors tell you that you can’t wrestle and you’ll never wrestle again, I lost millions of dollars because of that, I pray that it’s not the same for Daniel Bryan. I saw him in a lot of his matches after he came back from the injury and he was taking suplexes on the back of his head, powerbombs and other really dangerous moves. I know he wanted to test it out, but I think he may have pushed himself too hard. He’s like Dynamite Kid in the sense that they’re both tough and neither wanted to admit that injuries got the best of them.

He’s finished forever, but I don’t think he’s even realized that, he’s probably thinking, maybe it will get better in a few months, but unfortunately, I don’t think it will.”
