>Bryan spoke about how The Rock and Stone Cold were actually his two "least favourite" people in wrestling because they cut promos and weren't "wrestler wrestlers".
>“As a fan, when I was in high school everyone loved The Rock and Steve Austin. They were my least favorite people because all they did was talk. I liked the wrestler wrestlers."
>Danielson spoke about how he was actually afraid to speak in public, so the idea of not cutting a promo and just being known for his wrestling ability certainly appealed to him:
>“My dream when I first started wrestling wasn’t to be in WWE and go to the main event WrestleMania or something like that; my dream when I started wrestling was actually to be a big star in Japan, because I loved the Japanese wrestling style which is very wrestling based. I also liked the idea because I was afraid to speak in public. I loved the idea of being able to go to Japan – you could be slightly famous there and then come back and no one would know who you are, and I loved the idea."
I swear, people sometimes underrate how good of a wrestler Austin was. With the ability to both wrestle good and talk.
