Daniel Bryan recently spoke to DirecTV to promote WrestleMania 30 on Sunday and addressed a variety of topics, including comparisons to how his current storyline mirrors that of Stone Cold Steve Austin, which launched WWE into a new stratosphere in the late 1990s.
"I honestly don't think they are accurate," Bryan said of the comparisons. "There are some similarities, like anyone who has had issues with authority figures in WWE. But I think our attitudes and how we handle things are different. It was a different era when Steve Austin was battling Vince McMahon. It's kind of similar, but to me they are way different."
Bryan will of course face Triple H on Sunday for a spot in the main event with Randy Orton and Batista to fight for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Here's what he had to say on working with the COO:
"The biggest thing is he's just really smart and he knows what he's doing. He's been doing it for years. Not only that, but he's also a big tough dude. He tore his quad and kept wrestling. He wrestled Cactus Jack in those Hell in a Cell matches and street fights. He is a multiple time WWE and World Champion. He knows what he's doing and he knows how to win. Also, he's been in those big matches and main evented WrestleMania before. I think all of those lend to his strengths."
Finally, Bryan talked about having the chance to work in the main event at WrestleMania:
"That is what every wrestler who has ever wanted to step in the ring strives for. It's funny, three years ago, I would do radio interviews and people would ask me what my goal is, and it was to main event WrestleMania. People you are talking to are like, 'Oh, that's a nice little dream.' But now here it is and it's within my grasp. That is literally - when you are lying in bed as a 15-year old kid, and you are dreaming of being a wrestler - that is what you are dreaming of. You want to be in the biggest match in the biggest show of the year. With 70,000 plus fans screaming. That's what everybody wants when they start this."
