During his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross spoke about the feud between The Miz and Daniel Bryan.
āLook at the background, look at their journeās. What route did Miz take to get to his destination, and compare that to Daniel Bryan to get to the same destination. I donā think Daniel Bryan totally respected Miz in the early going because of Mizās journey.
āLetās be honest about it ā the greatest goal Miz could have is to be as good, or as close to good, as Daniel Bryan in the ring. That could go for 99% of the roster. It was real and thatās the thing that made it work. I didnāt believe these two cats were bull****ting me. I didnāt believe they were doing a wrestling promo; I felt like they were talking realistically and honestly to me and they were bearing their souls.ā
āHeās as good as there is. Everyoneās got their opinion ā Iāll give you mine here. I think [Daniel Bryan] is one of the best top four or five guys in the world. Iām a big fan of Daniel Bryan.ā
