Interview0 Comments

Bryan talks to WWE.com about Sting’s debut in WWE at Survivor Series.

I have been a fan of wrestling for a very very long time. I love wrestling. And its weird crossing worlds where Sting is in the WWE in a WWE ring. It just gets you excited. It’s something that everyone can feel through the screen.

It’s crazy. I’m just some small-town guy from Aberdeen, Washington just doing my wrestling thing. You see it (Yes chants) being done by 40,000 people and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh!’ It was awesome

Bryan speaks to BetweenTheRopes.com to discuss how long a second surgery would keep him out of action in the WWE.

I was scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, but then they called me last week and said they want to do more testing before they do the surgery, which is good in one sense. I don’t want to do the surgery if I don’t need it, but likewise if I do need it let’s get it done as soon as possible because that’s going to be a big three months.

IGN interview

Interview0 Comments

Bryan sits down with IGN to discuss the most recent story-line surrounding his wife in which he’s accused of cheating on her with his physical therapist.

Yeah, to me, it’s groan-worthy. I don’t think it added anything to the story. It was just like, “Ugh!” But, you know, they do what they do, and you just gotta roll with the punches. It’s funny, because I feel like sometimes you just have to overcome these things more so than anything else. Like, Brie and Stephanie have to overcome that flaw. To me, that was a flaw in the story.

Daniel Bryan talks with IGN about his future in-ring return and the injury keeping him out of action.

I was supposed to have a second surgery scheduled for Tuesday, but they postponed it to do some more testing — and this has been the frustrating part for me. The nervous system is very complex. So there’s been debate about, ‘Okay, does he need a second surgery? Does he not need a second surgery?’ And people have kind of been going back and forth on it. Then finally we decided, ‘Okay, he needs the surgery.’

Comic Book Resources interview

Interview0 Comments

Bryan speaks to Comic Book Resources to discuss his WWE return and the newest stars coming to WWE.

I’m really excited, really excited. People’s eyes are going to be opened with KENTA. He just brings a different style that we’ve never seen in the WWE before. Tajiri threw a lot of kicks, but they weren’t as intense as KENTA’s.

Cut from Wrestlemania special

0 Comments

Bryan’s title victory and original match-up are cut from NBC’s Wrestlemania special. The special is cut from the original three hour format to one hour. The cut is made due to Bryan’s injury leaving him off WWE television for the time being.

The NBC special isn’t for the hardcore WWE fans who already paid WWE to see it. The special is to draw in new viewers or viewers once lost. It makes no sense to showcase a guy who they might get interested in, but then turn on Monday Night RAW and can’t see.

Bryan talks to WWE.com about WWE signing Kenta and why he is excited over the new talent.

It’s excellent. They’re signing an international guy who has the reputation for being the best. Kenta is one of the best guys I’ve ever been in the ring with. Some of the best matches I’ve ever had have been against Kenta. He’s going to make everybody step up their game.

Bryan appears on Talk is Jericho to discuss his 2010 firing from WWE, Wrestlemania 30 and self-made stars in WWE.

Look at Zack Ryder. He didn’t have anyone telling him what to do and he has his own hit Youtube show. He pretty much made it on his own.

Despite interference from Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, Bryan defeats Randy Orton and Batista in triple threat match to claim WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Daniel Bryan defeated Triple H earlier in the night for his spot in the title bout.

To me, it’s almost surreal that it could happen, right? Because I’m still just me, and so it’s crazy that even just where I was in January, as far as where I am compared to now, is just unbelievable, that this could be that dream you had ever since you were a kid, that this could be that moment that you’ve dreamed of your whole life.

TheClassical.org interview

Interview0 Comments

Bryan speaks to TheClassical.org about MMA, Brie Bella and wrestling.

Okay, so there’s a lot of things that wrestling can take from MMA. One of the things that MMA does very, very well—and boxing does this, too—is creating personality profiles leading up to big fights, like the 24/7 stuff and the UFC Countdownspecials—promoting people as personalities and how they’re training and how important this particular fight is for these fighters.

As of now, I’m not in the 30-man Royal Rumble match, I’m trying to get involved in it. (WWE) COO Triple H doesn’t want me anywhere in the Royal Rumble match.
