Yes! Yes! Yes!

Daniel Bryan, a recently retired WWE star, participated in his first Olympic-style weightlifting competition over the weekend and even got an award for his showing.

The uber-popular sports entertainment athlete posted all about it on social media, including video of his lifts -- and the cool sword he earned for competing.

It seems like Bryan, whose real name is Bryan Danielson, could move into other competitive endeavors, especially since his pro-wrestling career prematurely ended earlier this year. Bryan announced he'd have to leave the WWE ring back in February due to concussions and seizures from those concussions.

Weightlifting is certainly dangerous in its own right, but if Bryan wants to continue athletic pursuits maybe that is the right kind of fit. There aren't many head injuries in the sport.
