Bryan Danielson is asked about Vince McMahon.
When he left WWE in 2021, Bryan Danielson wrote a "Thank You, WWE" letter in the Players' Tribute. On the subject of Vince McMahon, Bryan wrote, "Thank you to the Big Man, who I know hates to be acknowledged. I won’t say much, but thank you for the conversations, the life lessons (about both what to do and what not to do), and the best hug I’ve ever received. I wish more people could see you how I see you."
A lot has changed in regards to McMahon since then as he's been accused of sexual abuse and sex trafficking by former employee Janel Grant, who filed a lawsuit against McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis.
Speaking on The Gorilla Position, Bryan was asked if his feelings towards McMahon has changed over the years.
"It's been, first and foremost, I want to say that the people who have been hurt are in a way worse position than I am. My empathy goes to them. There is not a lot I want to say about it, honestly. It's not just the Vince piece. It's also, my father-in-law [Laurinaitis], maybe ex-father-in-law, as far as that kind of stuff goes. You think of somebody in some way. Then something happens and it changes. That is always hard. As hard as it may be for me, emotionally, it's way worse than people who have been victimized by people in power," said Bryan.
Bryan would not comment on how Brie Garcia and Nikki Garcia feel, leaving that up to them if they decided to speak about it.
