A tribute to the Goat - the Daniel Bryan saga and 3 things he taught me in life
Sorrowfully, you will never see this againYesterday was a black day for me. All the hope and energy within me were dead and exhausted. All these days, somewhere deep inside the heart there was a small hope that my all-time favourite wrestler, Daniel Bryan, would get medical clearance and once again walk down that ramp shouting 'Yes... Yes...' and wrestle inside the squared circle.This was until Sunday. Today, things are as clear as daylight and the fact that Daniel Bryan has retired from WWE is a bitter pill to swallow for fans like me. Truth sometimes is bitter and you have to take it whether you like it or not and whether you accept it or not.This was one such instance that establishes the above fact. Daniel is gone now and all I have are his memories. He taught me a lot of things in life. Don't think I am exaggerating something here.This was a totally emotional moment and some things he did in the WWE moved me and that changed my life in many ways. As part of this slideshow, I would like to share 3 of those things that I learnt from Daniel’s WWE experiences with my fellow WWE fans in general and Daniel Bryan fans in particular
#3 Turning his back on the Wyatts
Remember Daniel Bryan joining the Wyatt family? The Wyatts forced Daniel Bryan to join them after weeks of vicious attacks on him. Daniel even fought a couple of matches for the Wyatts. One night on RAW, a match was scheduled between Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt and The Usos. This match was inside a steel cage and The Usos emerged victorious.
After the match, Bray asked Daniel to submit and thought of delivering a Sister Abigail to the Goat. But this was the night when the crowd erupted with ‘Yes’ chants and Daniel shed the Wyatt skin.
He not only attacked Wyatt that night but also dealt him an important lesson. It's not about strength but strategy that is important to win in life. Attacking the right opponent on the wrong terrain is same as chasing the wrong target.
He chose the perfect opportunity to teach Bray a lesson. Just when he was isolated by his brothers, Daniel took out his frustrations on him. It's not about how powerful you are it's all about how carefully you plan your attack.
