10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 19)

4. Daniel Bryan Reveals Favourite Wrestling Moment

Due to the fact that the man has had one stellar career, crammed full of memorable matches, feuds and moments, it may surprise some fans to learn that Daniel Bryan's favourite ever pro wrestling moment doesn't actually involve any moves, or even a wrestling match at all. From Ring Of Honor, to Japan and finally WWE, Bryan has captured the hearts of millions with his passionate performances, but cites one in-ring promo as his most cherished memory. It remains unclear whether or not the leader of the 'Yes Movement' will be able to actually wrestle again - a rough as hell in-ring style seems to have caught up with the man, and doctors have told him that his neck simply can't withstand the punishment he puts it through on a nightly basis anymore. At only 34, it's sad to imagine that wrestling may have lost one of the best performers of the modern era, but that's a real possibility. Telling of his favourite moment, Daniel Bryan says it came not during a match, but during an in-ring segment in 2013. Joined by The Authority and John Cena in the ring, fans kept interrupting the skit by chanting 'Yes' over and over, which led Cena to improvise and interact with Bryan. Shortly thereafter, the latter star was able to name check his mother and father, who received a thunderous reception, something he says he'll never forget as long as he lives.
