10 WWE Romances You Totally Don't Remember
4. Daniel Bryan & Gail Kim
Audience of one.
WWE is for an audience of one. Daniel Bryan is a wrestler for an audience of millions. Gail Kim too, when occasionally booked to be one. But WWE is for an audience of one that a worldwide fanbase gets to watch too. And that one thought it absolutely hilarious that three of his Divas would want to fight over Daniel Bryan.
Daniel Bryan was slightly unkempt. Daniel Bryan looked quite...normal. Daniel Bryan was relatively small. Daniel Bryan was a vegan.
After he finished throwing up whatever ICOPro he'd guzzled down that morning just thinking about him getting anywhere near women like three of the company's "athletic tens", McMahon most likely guffawed at just how hilarious his mad mind's latest creation would look on television. That it didn't, is why it sunk.
Bryan - and imagine this - was popular enough that fans were perfectly willing to accept the relationship, and the fact that he'd rejected Nikki and Brie Bella in the process. Because it didn't generate anywhere near enough the comedy heat he'd hope, it was quietly abandoned as Bryan continued to plough on with a gaffer that completely misunderstood him.
