Bryan Danielson: It Would Be Interesting To Have A Female Wrestler Who Didn’t Shave And Conform
Bryan Danielson has an interesting idea.
On the latest episode of the Nikki & Brie Show, Bryan Danielson subbed in for Nikki Garcia (Nikki Bella) to co-host alongside his wife Brie Gracie (Brie Bella). The couple discussed beauty standards for men and women, bringing up how wrinkles for men mean wisdom and how wrinkles for women mean old.
The conversation then turned to shaving.
“You are expected to shave your legs. If you don’t, you’re gross. I have never once shaved my legs, and nobody has ever commented on it. I go out and pretend to fight in spandex underwear. I’m essentially wearing underwear, and nobody says anything about me not shaving my legs,” said Danielson.
He continued, pitching a new potential female character in the world of wrestling.
“To any female who is a professional wrestler or who would like to be a professional wrestler, I think it would be very interesting to have a female who didn’t shave their legs at all or armpits or anything, and they didn’t do it to look mean and like a monster. It would be better if they were more attractive and they said, ‘I’m not going to conform to what society expects from me.’ I realize I’m a white guy talking about feminism [laughs]. How cool would that be? How cool would it be for Birdie [their daughter] to have an example of that in her life where it’s cool. Here is this person who is not conforming to what society says is attractive or what women should do. This is how humans are made, and nobody had a problem with it for 100,000 years, until the last 50 or 75 years. If there are any female wrestlers or potential female wrestlers listening to this, just an idea,” said Danielson.
Bryan Danielson is always full of great ideas.
