Daniel Bryan recently appeared on Chris Jericho's Talk Is Jericho podcast, opening up about his WWE firing in 2010.
The current WWE World Heavyweight Champion was a part of NXT's season one cast, alongside Wade Barrett, David Otunga, Darren Young and others. The group formed the Nexus, and before their debut June 7th, 2010 on Raw, they were told by officials to ambush John Cena and make his attack look like a gang-style beatdown. Bryan told Jericho they were given a little bit of direction, but not much.

When Nexus appeared, the group attacked Cena, proceeding to tear away and thrash everything in their sight. While some members destroyed the ring, others attacked Justin Roberts, ripping off his shirt and tying his tie around his neck. Bryan said he didn't quite know actions such as those wouldn't fly in the PG era, but they were doing their best to make it look as close to a gang beating as possible.

When they each took their turn to attack Cena, Bryan said that before he kicked him in the head, he spat in his face and cracked up while telling Y2J the story. When the stable returned to the back, they asked who choked out Roberts with the tie, and Bryan said it was him. They shouted at him to not choke anyone. They then asked who spit in Cena's face, and Bryan fessed up again. They told him there was no spitting. Bryan burst out laughing on the podcast.

He ran into Michael Hayes the next night while filming SmackDown, asking him what he learned from the previous evening. He told Bryan it wasn't bad to make mistakes, he simply had to learn from them. Bryan said he was at an FCW show on Wednesday later in the week and spoke to Vince McMahon, who reassured Bryan it would all blow over.

Two days later, McMahon personally called Bryan, telling him he had to let him go. Bryan said his reaction may have helped him, not being too bothered by it and because while he thanked McMahon for the opportunity, who couldn't help but apologize for Bryan's release, the former Ring of Honor star said he was going to make more money than he ever would that year just on the independent scene. The comment took McMahon back a little, according to Bryan.

John Laurinaitis called him to follow up on his remarks, and Bryan stated to Jericho that he wasn't making much money with the promotion. He was stuck on a regular contract working two shows a week, while the other guys were still on developmental contracts and had more opportunities. He also had TV cuts from being on television, yet he said he was constantly in the hole.

He confirmed 2010 was the worst year for him under WWE than any time he's had during his four years on the indy scene.
 
The great part of the interview is when Jericho was talking about his first match with DB and how the time got cut. They discussed how sometimes it is hard to tell a story in a match when you only have 6 minutes. Found it interesting.
Jericho's podcast much like him as a wrestler has really grown on me. Jericho cracked me up when he said, he will be known as the light up jacket, ARMBAR, guy.

I'll have a McSmigg with cheese
 
Everyone? Not true at all, that's like saying Cena is over with everyone.
No, Goldberg was over with everyone. Nobody was booing him back in 98. Neckbeard Nation was in its infancy then. It was nothing like the 50/50 reaction Cena gets.
 
McStruggles lead to food poisoning.

He was not over with EVERYONE, there were many people cheering NWO over corny Goldberg, myself included. He was boring as shit, couldn't cut a promo to save his life and he had 5 basic moves. The faces he would make were laughable.

The same people going crazy for Reigns these days are the same type of people who were going crazy for Golderg. They both have good wrestling looks but that's where it stops. Just having a good look is a sad excuse for potential these days.

Why bring up neckbeards again? Were the people booing face Hogan back in the day after he was finally getting stale neckbeards? Or were they marks because they felt like Hogan took away Bret's moment? These stupid names you have for everyone is exactly what it is, stupid. It turns every argument you make into a joke.
 
At that point (the last half of 98), no one was cheering for either nWo faction over Goldberg.
Hogan always had heat from day one in WCW because of southern fans who grew up rooting for Flair and/or Sting instead.

And why don't you have a name for "Those people" also? That's one reason but he also had some heat because he was on top for years and years with no change. People wanted to see something else. That's perfectly normal.
 
Thanks McCook for the idea. No more stars, time for Roman Numerals.

WWE's Twitter account just issued a 'breaking news' alert that tonight's RAW will feature a contract signing between The Shield and Evolution ahead of their match this Sunday at WWE Payback.

If past WWE contract signings are any indication, it seems highly unlikely that this one takes place without a huge brawl ensuing.
