An unlikely collaboration between WWE superstar Daniel Bryan and folk singer Frank Turner is a step closer to becoming a reality, after Turner tweeted that he is ‘game’ for a duet.

Turner responded to comments made by Bryan earlier in the week, who told Digital Spy: ‘I love Frank Turner, an English guy. I would like to do something with him. There’s something about his music. I suppose there’s a lot in common with independent musicians and wrestlers. How much he’s on the road, all that kind of stuff.’

The former Million Dead frontman tweeted the former World Heavyweight Champion, saying: ‘I’m game!’

Bryan previously featured on Kimya Dawson’s track Captain Lou.




Elaborating on his love for Turner’s music, he added: ‘His music really speaks to me, I identify with it. If I could do something with him, that would be awesome. It’s crazy to see how popular he’s become.

‘I was at the gym maybe a month ago and I heard a Frank Turner song. I was like, ‘Whoah!’ I’m so out of tune with pop culture, I didn’t even realise that he had become big! It was like, this is my guy, and he’s playing at the gym! This is strange.’

Fellow wrestler Wade Barratt last year said that he was hoping to take up the Manic Street Preachers’ offer of writing his new theme music.
