Daniel Bryan was interviewed by Eurosport Turkey. Here are some highlights from the interview.

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”

About comparing the indys and the WWE: “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.”

About NXT: “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”

About 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 promo he's talking about:

About the 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.”

About being a world 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”

About being in a tag team with Kane: “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. “

He's been gold with this character, and the fact he went from serious indy guy to this has to look good for Cokeboy and his underlings. Running with the boss' ideas and making him look good will always reap them rewards in the end :yes:

Plus, he ain't out there fukkin up in the real world. We have to celebrate smart dudes cuz the E turning into the NFL :bryan:
