Bryan Danielson shared his conflicted feelings about Vince McMahon, shaped by both personal and professional experiences. He avoided giving too much detail, citing sensitive family matters, including his mother-in-law’s involvement: “There is too much… click-baity headlines… also, too many family things… I also have a very complicated thought process when it comes (to Vince).”
Danielson acknowledged both good and bad sides to Vince as a boss:
“As a boss, he has his good parts and bad parts. That’s everybody… I have a hard time with the whole concept of Vince McMahon.”
He separated McMahon’s role in his career from who he was personally backstage:
“There’s the idea of ‘career’ and what he did for my career… When I’m looking at Vince McMahon, the human being… when my dad passed away, [he] gave me the best hug I had ever gotten.”
Danielson noted he never chased titles, but appreciated doing what he loved: “Being a World Champion was never this thing I aspired to… There is his treatment of me as an employee, but there was his treatment of me as a human being.”
