Daniel Bryan recently spoke with The Asbury Park Press to promote his June 28th appearance at iPlay America in Freehold, NJ. During the interview, Bryan revealed his favorite moment in the wrestling industry, which surprisingly was not his WWE Championship win at WrestleMania XXX.
Bryan said his favorite moment in wrestling took place during the December 9th, 2013 edition of RAW during the ‘Championship Ascension Ceremony’ segment prior to John Cena and Randy Orton’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship unification match. Aside from the staggering reaction Bryan got from the crowd that disrupted the segment, that was the last night his father got to see him wrestle live before he passed away.
Bryan said,
“It was just supposed to be an interview between (on-air authority figure) Triple-H, Randy Orton and John Cena, but the fans there weren’t having it. They just started chanting ‘Yes!’ and ‘Yes!’ and ‘Yes!’ and ‘Daniel Bryan!’ and ‘Yes!’ and more Yes-ing to the point that they were ruining the segment. John Cena is so smart and so quick on his feet, he pulls me forward and asks me something to the effect of ‘What’s your name?’ I said, ‘Daniel Bryan,’ and everybody cheers. ‘Where are you from?’ ‘Aberdeen, Washington.’ Everybody cheers louder. ‘Were either your mom or dad a WWE superstar?’ I said that no, my dad is a log scaler and logging is big in the area, so then everybody cheered.”
“It’s mostly special because that was the last time my dad got to see me wrestle before he passed away. And not only that, but he got mentioned. For me, that’s a very special moment. That’s my favorite, even more so than WrestleMania XXX. If you were to ask me my favorite moment in wrestling, that’d be it.”
