Daniel Bryan Yes Autobiography Review: 10 Observations You Need To Know
10. Daniel Bryan Is Insanely Humble
Straight away, even in the first few chapters of the book, it becomes clear just how unbelievably grounded a human being Daniel Bryan is. His childhood was modest, and even though he notes that his father was a tremendously flawed man, it's clear the wrestler always enjoyed spending time with him.
It's all because of his father's addictions that Bryan notes he doesn't drink alcohol, but there's never any preaching mentality surrounding that or his discussion as to why he chose to be vegan. On the contrary, the man just comes across as a genuinely nice guy, one who doesn't seem to see himself as anything special.
This directly flies in the face of many pro wrestling autobiographies. Even heralded books from guys like Adam 'Edge' Copeland and Bret 'Hitman' Hart have some degree of self-aggrandising ego. There's nothing especially wrong with ego, if it's kept in check, but Daniel Bryan doesn't seem to have much of it, and that fact stands out throughout the book. Whether he's talking about wandering around a food market, looking for food that suits his dietary needs, or marveling over the main event of WrestleMania, Bryan does it all in such a laid back way.
