Former WWE Superstar Says That WWE Should Let Daniel Bryan Wrestle

Former WWE Tag Team Champion Trevor Murdoch was a recent guest on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast, and spoke out on Daniel Bryan controversially being held back from wrestling for nearly a year.

Murdoch said that the perception if you work hard, if you become the best wrestler in the world, and get fans on your side, you'll get to the top, but that isn't always the case. He pointed to Daniel Bryan as an example.

"Everything that you are doing as you are working your way to get to WWE is if you are the best wrestler, you are the hardest worker, you will get elevated and get the push. That's not the case in WWE. You may be the best wrestler but there is either somebody that A. doesn't like you or B. doesn't see your talent that other people do and they just let you flounder. Look at Bryan Danielson, how many times have they held that guy back and he is probably one of the most over guys on that roster still to this day and hasn't worked in almost a year," Murdoch said.

One of the reasons that Murdoch thinks that this happened is because Daniel Bryan got over to a level in which the WWE couldn't control, and he doesn't think that the company wants to give that much power back to the audience.

"What does that tell you? It tells you that guy is over and his wrestling can get over. People like wrestling but he is not what the WWE model is and it's not what their idea is of what a top guy is. In turn they hold him back and put him in spots where to this day a UCLA Doctor has cleared him to wrestle and WWE still hasn't. Let that man work. Let that man wrestle and give the people what they want. WWE knows what kind of power that man has with the people and they don't want to give them that power back," he said.

Bryan is rumored to appear on tonight's episode of Raw from Seattle, Washington.
