During the interview, Bryan talked about a segment on RAW in December 2013 in Seattle where fans began chanting for him during a big segment.
"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," Bryan said. "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?' " Bryan recalled. "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."
Bryan noted that the episode was even more special for him that WrestleMania XXX because it was the last time his father got to see him wrestle before he passed away.
"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," Bryan said. "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."
Bryan also talked about his memories of Dusty Rhodes, some of the things that stood out about Dusty, WrestleMania XXX and more. You can read the full interview by clicking here.
