Daniel Bryan on his promo from NXT last week:
Daniel Bryan on his NXT promo: “It didn’t help that Matt Stryker interrupted me, but its not like I was going to light the world on fire anyways. When he said ‘passion,’ the idea that ran through my head was this: Explain the Daniel Bryan Manliness Meter. Describe one thing I’ve done that was really manly (in 2007 I detached my retina in a match and then continued fight for another ten minutes). Say that not only was that manly but it shows the passion I have. My closing line was going to be, ‘Passion is what got me here, and passion will take me home.’ It’s a line I’ve heard somewhere else, but I can’t remember where. Alas, I never got there and I didn’t feel like I had enough time after the interruption, so I just went for a cheap crowd reaction. And I DO love England! As a side note, I saw Vickie Guerrero later in the evening and she said, ‘You sucked tonight.’ Nothing to boost the old confidence like constructive criticism.”
The man has a point. I was at the show where he detached his retina and it was an incredible peformance and showed his passion for the business. It’s also one of my favorite matches ever and on ROH’s Manhattan Mayhem II if anyone is curious.
