WWE’s Daniel Bryan On What It Means To Be A Role Model

It was an interesting day to have WWE Super Star Daniel Bryan phone in to promote his book “YES!: My Improbable Journey to the Main Event of WrestleMania.” The Internet exploded just hours before with reports of a Hulk Hogan racial tirade and his complete removal from the WWE.

Bryan, just finding out about Hogan situation during the interview is surprised but had no comment. He did discuss his injury and that he hasn’t been cleared to wrestle by the doctors at the WWE. Bryan also talked about what it means to be a role model in the WWE and that he would like to go back and train with Shawn Michaels to learn the finer points of the sport.

“I think anybody whose in the public eye should consider themselves as potentially a role model. Regardless of whether you want to be one or not kids are looking at you. I take that responsibility very seriously. I think a lot of people within the WWE do, because we so many kids watching our product and I think that is one of the highest priorities for me,” said Bryan.

Bryan’s book “YES!: My Improbable Journey to the Main Event of WrestleMania” is available now.
