If you find it hard to stomach Daniel Bryan's thoughts on the world and the way it works, then look away now because he was very candid during a radio chat with Peter Rosenberg recently. It turns out there's a reason why Bryan stopped wearing his WWE-branded t-shirts to the ring so much towards the end of his full-time run.

Daniel felt like a hypocrite for talking backstage about the evils of consumerism then peddling WWE products on screen anyway. Such betrayal of his own values didn't sit well with him, so much so he eventually decided to tell agents he wouldn't be wearing t-shits emblazoned with phrases like 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' and 'The Beard Is Here' at all.

Adding to Bryan's woes was the fact WWE used "inorganic cotton" to make their shirts. Those materials horrified Daniel due to their impact on the environment, and he couldn't bring himself to pull one over his head night in, night out.
