Yesterday’s SuperBowl was so bad that both Marshawn Lynch and Daniel Bryan retired.

— Gregory Shane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) February 8, 2016

But in all serious, the rise of Daniel Bryan was one of my favorite things in all of wrestling in the last 5-6 years.

— Gregory Shane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) February 8, 2016

The trade off in pro wrestling is our bodies. As much as I’d like to see Daniel Bryan and Kurt Angle wrestle forever, that’s just selfish.

Bryan Danielson's match vs. @LanceStorm inspired me to become a pro wrestler. He will go down as among the best of all time. A true pro.
