The Miz Has Finally Revealed The Full Story Behind His Epic TALKING SMACK Promo On Daniel Bryan
The Miz's promo on Daniel Bryan during one of the first installment of Smackdown Live's "Talking Smack" segment is still being talked about, and here the Awesome One elaborates on what really went down.
You'll no doubt recall The Miz's furious rant against Daniel Bryan on one of the very first episodes of Smackdown Live's "Talking Smack", as it did wonders to rejuvenate Miz's somewhat stale Hollywood character, and led to speculation that Bryan may even be set to return to the ring.
At the time it was generally assumed that the promo was a "worked shoot" (both parties knew about it beforehand, but weren't 100% certain what would be said), but if The Miz's comments from a recent interview with Fox Sports are any indication, it could well have been a full-on, legitimate shoot.
“So here was my day up to that point: I wasn’t written on the episode that day and I’m the Intercontinental champion. This is the title that I’ve loved since I was a child, and I don’t want to be the guy who says, ‘I’m going to make it great,’ and then not do anything. I want to make it great. “So I told them to put me on ‘Talking Smack.’ They asked, ‘Well what are you going to do?’ And I said I’m going to rip into Daniel Bryan. And then I guess I kind of went overboard. And when I go, I have no filter. It’s everything that is fueling inside of me and I just black out.’ “I was like, wait a second. I’m the guy that’s always here, doing everything, doing the stuff that you don’t want to do or that John [Cena] doesn’t want to do, and I don’t get injured. “And people compliment me on what I said, but I was so angry that it was difficult to even speak.”
The Miz goes on to say that he had no idea Bryan was going to walk away, and that he actually expected to hit him because of the "very below the belt and very mean and very rude" things he screamed at his former "protege".
Shoot or not, this segment was very effective in bulding The Miz's brand - however, we can probably forget about that match with Daniel Bryan ever taking place... at least in WWE!
