WWE SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan recently spoke with FOX Sports to promote Sunday’s SummerSlam pay-per-view event. Here are the highlights.
On being SmackDown GM: The hardest part actually is not the task of being the GM, it’s more so being around wrestling and not being able to actually wrestle. That’s the hardest part. The other stuff is …. I feel like I’m not the greatest general manager in the history of general managers, but I do OK and I’m learning as I go. I try to just do my best with it.
On being a commentary for the Cruiserweight Classic: So Mauro and I called two or three practice matches together, and then he and I the night before the first taping of the Cruiserweight Classic went out to dinner together, and we were just talking about our views on wrestling, and our views on commentary is and what commentary should be and that kind of stuff. And that was pretty much it. One of the great things is that Mauro is fantastic at his job. Right? So like, people have been really complimentary toward me as far as my job as a commentator, but in reality if Mauro weren’t there, I wouldn’t sound so good, right? When you know the intricacies of it – I’m just now starting to learn it – you see how much Mauro sets me up for stuff. Mauro sets me up to make me sound good [laughs].
Bryan also talked about SummerSlam and more. You can read the entire interview here.
