Daniel Bryan With Surprising Backstage Revelations In New Book
“He was going through a very public breakdown at the time, and somehow WWE brokered a deal for him to perform against me. He taped a couple of videos for ‘Raw’ insulting me, and even though it was a goofy match to be in, it would’ve put me in one of the top matches at SummerSlam. Unfortunately, whoever brokered the Sheen deal never got him to sign any sort of contract to do the event, and in typical Charlie Sheen fashion, he bailed.”
The book likewise uncovers some of Bryan's backstage issues with Triple H and Vince McMahon. After his first WWE match, Bryan was lauded by his rival Chris Jericho. However, Vince laughed at Jericho's proposal that Bryan was incredible, obviously saying that the actuality Bryan didn't eat meat was an indication of shortcoming.
