Not enough can be said about this man. The leader of the 'Yes! Revolution' has touched many hearts, not only in the WWE but also in the independent circuit. He now enjoys the role of the General Manager of Smackdown Live. We all hope for his return to the ring one day but not at the cost of his body. Without further ado, here are three things you might not know about Daniel Bryan.
#3 Considerable experience outside WWE
Bryan has made quite a name for himself while on the independent circuit before making his way to WWE. He won the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship in the Japanese wrestling league NOAH and also won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in NJPW. He has also competed in Ring of Honor and had become synonymous with the company. He was dubbed as the "Founding Father" of ROH. Apart from CM Punk and Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan is one of the three men who has won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and Ring of Honor Championship.
In total, Daniel Bryan has won 11 championships and five world titles. That's quite an impressive number.
#2 Nearly fighting Triple H
Bryan is considered one of the most laid back wrestlers on the WWE roster, well at least he usually is.
Bryan almost got into a fight with the company's COO, Triple H, after Hunter stopped a match against Randy Orton that Bryan was supposed to win before getting injured.
In his autobiography, Daniel has mentioned the following
"Usually, I don't get super angry, and when I do it's barely visible. This time, I was furious and I let everyone know it.When I walked through the curtain, I yelled, "What is that all about. That's bull----!" "You need to calm down," responded Triple H, who had been communicating with the doctor over the headset and called for the match to be stopped, he added. "No, you need to calm down!" I replied. We were up in each other's faces and both ready to fight."
#1 Lloyd Boner
Daniel Bryan's real name is Bryan Danielson, which the WWE didn't fancy using for him. This was because 'Danielson' is a bit of a mouthful and it's harder to copyright someone's actual name.
So Bryan was told to come up with some suggestions of what his name would be. He came up with three suggestions: Daniel Bryan, Buddy Peacock, and Lloyd Boner. Yes, you read that right, Llyod Boner. Thank God for common sense prevailing.
