DB Tired Of Comedy Gimmick, And More

[Crayo]

Eurosport Turkey interviewed Daniel Bryan over the weekend. Here are some (translated) highlights of what Bryan said about:

Being trained by Shawn Michaels and William Regal:

“Being trained by Shawn Michaels and William Regal was a great opportunity. Not everyone gets this opportunity. Imagine what someone like Kaval would be if he was trained by HBK& Regal”

Comparing WWE to the Indys:

“I miss the intimacy of the fans in independent scene. They have their pluses and minuses but I can say I miss the fans there.”

Disliking WWE’s Original NXT TV Concept:

“NXT was disrespectful to wrestling in general. The entire show. When Undertaker debuted, he didn’t have to climb ladders or carry kegs. I trained to be a wrestler for a long time, so let me go out and wrestle. If you have me go out and do these stupid contests, you make me look stupid and it’s very difficult to make stars when you already made them look stupid on television”

His “The Future is Bright for Bryan Danielson” Promo on NXT:

“One of the things people don’t know about NXT is that we were never told what to say, and we never knew the questions people were asking us. When the interviewer asked me “You were a big fish in a small pond and now you seemingly drowned in the sea that is the WWE”, my response was “No, this character that you created for me, he’s failed, because you created him to fail. But me, as a person, I’m better than this. I can go out and do, I can do what I’m doing right now, which is capturing the imagination of the crowd.”

The Choking Justin Roberts Incident:

“I did what I felt was natural, but I am not used to wrestle in a confined environment. WWE has to be very carful about being PG. I wasn’t used to that at the time. I was an independent wrestler, Sometimes I would do things because it just felt right, and when it felt right, it wasn’t right for the company.”

Being a World Heavyweight Champion:

“Being a world champion is cool, but you don’t just wanna be the champion, you want to be the man, you wanna be the guy they rely on for everything. Even though I was the world champion, I never was the man. John Cena, even though he isn’t the champion, he’s the man, and that’s what you aspire to be. At the and of the day, you wanna be the man”

Wanting To Do More Serious Work In WWE:

“I was able to do lots of comedy stuff on Pro Wrestling Guerilla and shows like that, it’s been fun to do that to a wider audience. But now, I’m starting to feel like aching for the more serious stuff, being able to go out there and just wrestle. “

Nice interview.

 

[BaraaKhalaf92]

Nice interview, I agree with him, the guy is one of the best and he definitely deserves to be ore than a comedy tool in the WWE, although his current character is pretty funny and entertaining, but they should give him what he really deserves, a wwe title reign.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

DB wants to be the man. And we all want him to be the man.

Too bad for everyone.

 

[Senhor Perfect]

DB wants to be the man. And we all want him to be the man.

Too bad for everyone.

That is the unfortunate truth.

 

[Danielson]

Happy he's not happy. I just want him to win the wwe title once. Please.

 

[RoyalRaven]

The sooner we see him in a serious role, the better

 

[Lady Deathbane]

Happy he's not happy. I just want him to win the wwe title once. Please.

He doesn't have the image.

Then again, neither does CM Punk... or Miz for that matter.

 

[Roi]

He needs to change gimmick . WWE needs to push him to the main, main scene (WHC or WWE title)

 

[Danielson]

He doesn't have the image.

Then again, neither does CM Punk... or Miz for that matter.

Neither did Mick Foley, and he still got it(and a HOFer) : He will just never be the main guy for an extended period, but I gurantee he will win the wwe title once.

B-but I want him to be The Guy. lease:

 

[Danielson]

B-but I want him to be The Guy. lease:

Maybe he will, who knows man.

 

[Lady Deathbane]

Maybe he will, who knows man.

I mean, he isn't the size of The Guy (yet), but he has the face of one. I mean, with the beard off he looks a lot more attractive than Cena, just sayin', lmao. If they build him right, he can be, but I doubt WWE would, so I wouldn't hold my breathe to it. :downer:

What's wrong with beards? :notamused:

You mean physically he doesn't have the size? I doubt he will ever because he's only 5'10 (still 10 inches on you) He has a good physique though imo. Just would be nice to see him in a more serious role like he said in the interview, just wrestling ya know?

Lol, I know. I'm just saying possibilities and all that. I'm sure he'll get that role sooner or later once Hell No disbands.
