The American Dragon is set to address his in-ring future on tonight's episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite. Meanwhile, during a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff advised Danielson to retire from the squared circle and spend valuable time with his family.
The former WWE RAW General Manager urged Danielson to cherish retirement and enjoy life with his young kids.
"Kids are still so young. He’s made a ton of money. It’s not going to be an issue for him for the rest of his life. Dude, enjoy it. Get closer to your kids. You have an opportunity, Bryan, that very few people have at your age. So I hope he makes the most of it," Eric Bischoff said. [H/T: Ring Side News]
