Due to medical reasons, effective immediately, I am announcing my retirement. Tonight on Raw, I'll have a chance to elaborate. #gratitude

From Twitter

Over at my Southern California Wrestling site, we wrote a few pieces about Daniel Bryan and his career in Southern California.

Interview with American Dragon Bryan Danielson 2002

A Look Back at American Dragon's Debut

A Look Back at the SoCal Career of Bryan Danielson

His contribution to the WWE and surpassing the barrier of entry helped pave the way for the NXT Roster today. Maybe someday we'll have a final Daniel Bryan match. But until then, I wish the guy nothing but the best.

Despite his short run as one of the top wrestlers in the WWE, I think he was their biggest star since the Rock & Austin. For whatever reason, he just had that connection with the crowd. He's going to be tremendously missed. He definitely paved the way for the classical "vanilla midget"/"indy darling" to get looks. The guy simply was a star and I wish him the best in whatever him and his wife end up doing after wrestling.

Edge even have a case because he moved the needle.

He didn't have enough time to get to that status. He was for a 9 month period one of the hottest wrestler ever.
