Daniel Bryan en Talking Smack is perfectly together. While it will never be the same as his epic, Tout-sponsored 2016 – 2017 series on the show alongside Renee Young, DB’s appearance in the recharge program was pretty good.
His most recent visit to the Consider post-show had it all. Bryan continued the work he started when he was a Talking Smack guest in December, and has since kept pace on Friday nights and in interviews, presenting him for the last time from tomorrow’s Royal Rumble to the main event of WrestleMania 37. Here he did so by contrasting his love of pro-wrestling in its purest form with the universal champion, Roman Reigns, who is a more matter-of-fact, mercenary approach to the square circle.
‘There are some things you did wrong, and they have to do with motivation and what drives me. I’m not interested in glory. I’m not interested in the admiration of the fans, despite all the yes hymns. Do you know what I loved? I loved it a lot when we were at the Performance Center, and wrestled in front of zero people with no noise, just wrestled. Do you know what people loved about me? I do not know if you remember the Royal Rumble of 2015? I do not know if you remember it? I lost, very fast. This is the one that Roman Reigns won. It was in Philadelphia. I was in the ring for maybe five minutes. There were five minutes in that Royal Rumble, but when Roman Reigns won, everyone booed. The Rock congratulated him. The Rock said, ‘Oh man, you’re the man,’ and The Rock who surrendered to Roman cheered.
‘I have a theory why this is so, and that’s it. I think you were right, Roman Reigns is perhaps the best right now. He acts on a very different level than everyone else, but he does not wrestle with his heart. It’s always been a facade. He got out there when he was wearing a vest in this company, a bulletproof vest, so you could not see his heart. I have a theory that I can put my heart out there every night. It happened on SmackDown, right. I’ve been wrestling for 21 years, Paul. You go out there and you’re been there for 30 minutes, 45 minutes, a lot of guys who’ve been in business as long as I’m going to climb on the apron. I get in there with the chance to fight The Miz, which I absolutely hate, and there is no place in the world I would rather have. So the big difference is not about who is the best or who wants glory, it is who is willing to go there and fight with heart. ”
But that’s not all! We also got some of the weird Bryan – you know, the guy who struggles with beers and always had a sexual double contestant ready for Renee on the guy Talking Smack. Here my husband reveals that his hip and glute-focused workouts with Chad Gable & Otis at Alpha Academy will enable him to “throw so many men off” in the Rumble, and … yes.
Gable & Otis not only serves as a cartoon, but Daniel can serve us the team hell side of his personality. It also serves as a backup for the men sitting at Reigns’ table. You’re ready for Alpha Academy vs. The Usos on the Road to DB vs. Roman by WrestleMania 37?
