The Miz Says He Spoke With Bryan Danielson For Just 30 Seconds Before Talking Smack Promo

The Miz comments on his Talking Smack promo.

On August 23, 2016, The Miz went after Bryan Danielson, who was the SmackDown General Manager at that time, on Talking Smack. Many fans consider this to be one of the best promos of The Miz’s career.

During a recent interview on WrestleRant, The Miz talked more about this promo. He explained what he was upset about and the brief chat he had with Bryan Danielson before taking the microphone.

“I was mad at the fact I got drafted. I got taken to SmackDown and they weren’t using me, as the Intercontinental Champion. They were like, ‘Hey, you have a dark match today.’ I go, ‘Wait, I’m not on the show?’ They’re like ‘No, you’re the warm up match.’ I go, ‘Wait a second, what are we doing on the show?’ They’re like, ‘We’re introducing two new titles.’ I go, ‘What about this title? What about the title that has mattered to me since I was a child?’ Then I went to Road Dogg and I was like, ‘Put me on Talking Smack.’ He’s like, ‘Why do you wanna be on Talking Smack?’ It’s a brand new show. I was like, ‘Put me on Talking Smack.’ He goes, ‘Why?’ [Miz says] ‘Daniel Bryan’s the General Manager, I’m going to take it out on him’. Then literally Daniel and I talked for maybe like a minute. Not even, like 30 seconds. Hey, we’re going to do this. We don’t know what the finish is, let’s just go off and see what happens, and that’s what happened.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the wrestler talked about fan criticism driving him for the past two decades. Fans can read his full comments here.
