The AEW star Bryan Danielson appeared on the latest episode of the podcast ‘The Nikki and Brie Show’. During the podcast, he talked about the social norms that society expects females to follow. He also encouraged potential female wrestlers to break them.
Danielson said that in the wrestling industry, women are expected to shave their legs while for men, there are no such expectations. He also mentioned that it would be very interesting if the female wrestlers decided not to shave their legs or armpits and not to conform to what society expected from them.
Talking to Brie Bella, Bryan Danielson said, “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……..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 said, ‘I’m not going to conform to what society expects from me………How cool would that be?”
Bryan Danielson then talked about how amazing it would be if their daughter Birdie or any other female wrestler set an example like this.

“How cool would it be for Birdie 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.”
Women struggling for their deserving spot is not a rare sight. Fans have campaigned for female wrestlers several times. And it seems like Danielson has also joined them.
