8. Hugging It Out, ROH Style
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiNo-0sIGH0 Believe it or not, WWE and his comic partnership with Kane wasnt the first time that Bryan would be faced with hugging it out with an in-ring rival. In Ring Of Honor in 2009, the American Dragon faced off against lucha libre legend El Generico. The result was comedy gold, years before hed face a similar situation in the WWE. Here, he plays the straight man - but its still fantastic to watch, as the masked Mexican warrior goes for the hug and is thwarted. El Generico, of course, is now retired, having moved back to Mexico to look after the orphans, but his protégé Sami Zayn has recently been lighting it up in NXT, having inherited many of his signature moves.
